Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 2867 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery, Subcommittee SC 2,
Safety, ergonomics and general requirements.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition (ISO 2867:2006), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.
a) Type-A standards (basic standards) give basic concepts, principles for design and general aspects that
can be applied to machinery.
b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) deal with one safety aspect or one type of safeguard that
can be used across a wide range of machinery:
⎯ type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
⎯ type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hand controls, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive
devices, guards).
c) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) dealing with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or B standards,
the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for
machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.
NOTE ISO 14122 is a series of type-B standards that provides general requirements for access to stationary and
mobile machines and that can be used as a general reference for the design of access systems for earth-moving
machines.

4.2.3.2 The powered retractable access system shall be visible from the control location or shall have
additional devices [e.g. mirrors, closed-circuit television (CCTV)] for adequate visibility.
4.2.3.3 An interlock shall be provided for the powered retractable access system to prevent machine
movement that could cause damage to the access system through contact with the machine itself (e.g. the
swing of an excavator) when not in the retracted (stored) position. For other machine movement, an operator
warning is sufficient. For a powered retractable access system that transports a person, the additional
requirements given in Annex B apply.
4.2.3.4 In the case of a power failure, it shall be possible to lower the retractable access system or a
secondary access system shall be provided.
4.3 Alternative exit path and opening
4.3.1 An alternative opening from the operator station shall be provided on a surface other than that of the
primary opening. Its dimensions shall be in accordance with Table 1. An alternative exit path shall be provided
at a different location on the machine than that of the primary access system.
4.3.2 The alternative opening shall be clearly marked. If the alternative exit path is not obvious, it shall be
identified.
4.3.3 Vertical ladders are acceptable for the alternative exit path and the distance from the lower step to the
ground shall be a maximum of 700 mm.

4.3.4 The alternative exit path is intended for situations where the primary access system is not available
due to hazards or obstructions. Therefore, it does not need to meet the general requirements given in 4.1,
except when used as part of the secondary access system, in which case it shall meet those requirements.
4.4 Requirements for specific tracked machines with a rotating upper structure
For pipelayers capable of 360° continuous rotation of their upper structure, and for excavators equipped for
piling and drilling, an additional access system is required in the case where access to, and egress from, the
operator's cab is required on a regular basis when the upper structure is rotated to a position other than the
normal parked position as defined by the manufacturer. This additional access system shall meet all
requirements of this International Standard.
