Overview
ISO/TR 6750-2:2025 is a technical report published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This document specifically addresses the requirements for operator’s manuals by compiling a comprehensive list of reference documents applicable to earth-moving machinery. It serves as a valuable resource for manufacturers, technical writers, and compliance professionals involved in the preparation or revision of operator manuals, ensuring alignment with relevant standards and best practices.
This technical report applies to earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, with references covering International Standards, Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR), and Publicly Available Specifications (PAS).
Key Topics
ISO/TR 6750-2:2025 focuses on the following primary areas:
- Compilation of References: Provides a centralized list of documents that outline specific provisions for content in operator’s manuals for earth-moving machinery.
- Applicable Machinery: Covers all earth-moving machines as identified in ISO 6165, including excavators, loaders, graders, and more.
- Reference Types: Includes various forms of ISO documentation, ensuring comprehensive coverage of safety, operational, and maintenance aspects.
- Content Scope: References documents on systems and devices such as:
- Access systems and fixed ladders
- Brake and steering systems
- Collision warning and avoidance technologies
- Lifting, tying-down, and retrieval devices
- Electromagnetic compatibility
- Fire prevention and safety devices
- Operator’s field of view and visibility aids
- Sound emission measurement
- Remote control requirements
The referenced standards help ensure that operator’s manuals remain up-to-date, thorough, and compliant with international requirements.
Applications
ISO/TR 6750-2:2025 provides practical benefits for various stakeholders in the earth-moving machinery sector:
- Manufacturers: Ensure that operator’s manuals meet international regulatory and safety standards by using the referenced documents as a checklist during manual development.
- Technical Writers: Streamline the creation and revision of documentation by consulting authoritative sources for each relevant topic, resulting in clear, consistent, and legally compliant operator instructions.
- Regulatory and Compliance Professionals: Quickly verify that required elements are included in operator’s manuals, supporting conformity assessments and audits.
- Safety Inspectors and Trainers: Reference the listed documents to support workforce training, safety briefings, and operational best practices.
- Procurement and Fleet Managers: Use the references to assess and compare documentation quality and completeness for machinery under consideration.
The systematic approach offered by ISO/TR 6750-2:2025 helps reduce risks associated with machine operation, facilitates global harmonization, and promotes a culture of safety and efficiency.
