ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

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 15817 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery, Subcommittee SC 2,
Safety requirements and human factors.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

Earth-moving machinery — Safety requirements for remote


operator control

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the safety requirements for wireless and/or wired remote control systems,
used on earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165.

It does not apply to autonomous control systems that enable a machine to work without the assistance of an
operator, but is applicable to autonomous machines controlled remotely by an operator. This International
Standard does not apply to the remote control of attachments on non-remote controlled machines.

This International Standard does not specify performance criteria for the remote control system. Where
“wireless control” or “wired control” features as a subclause title, the provisions of that subclause are
applicable to the corresponding control only.

ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

4 Requirements for remote operator control

4.1 General requirements

4.1.1 Design

Remote control systems shall be designed so that all remote-controlled machine operations stop and remain
stationary in a safe manner for any of the following conditions:

a) when the controls are not activated;

b) when the power supply of the remote control system is interrupted;

c) when the communication between the remote control box and receiving unit is interrupted;

d) loss of power at the machine that interrupts any part of the remote control system, or

e) loss of signal.

4.1.2 Wireless control

When the location of the machine operated by wireless remote operator control is such that the machine is out
of remote control communication range, the machine remote-controlled operation shall stop and remain
stationary in a safe manner.

If there are several machines equipped with a wireless remote control system working in close proximity, each
remote control system shall have some way to indicate to the operator the corresponding controlled machine
prior to the start of the remote operation.

It is recommended that a special lamp control (e.g. the yellow/amber beacon at the operator position
referenced in 4.10) be used to identify the corresponding machine when the operator starts remote-controlled
operation.

4.2 Signal reliability

The signal transmission system shall have an error-detection and/or -correction system to prevent the
machine controls from being actuated by false signals resulting from burst levels of electro-magnetic radiation,
temporary signal loss, remote control box malfunction, etc. The data communication protocol shall guarantee
integrity of the communication link and of the data being transmitted. In the event of the integrity being unable
to be verified, the machine shall come to an immediate stop in a safe manner.

The remote control system shall meet the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of ISO 13766.

4.3 Remote control box

4.3.1 Design

A machine shall only be able to be remote controlled from one remote control box at a time except for
emergency stops.

The remote control box shall be equipped with a device or means to control access such as a key switch or
access code for activation/deactivation of the remote controls.

By design, the remote control box shall minimize the restriction to the machine operator’s freedom of
movement.

ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

4.3.2 Controls

4.3.2.1 Neutral position

All controls on the remote control box shall return to their neutral position when the operator releases them.
And when the controls are in their neutral position, the resulting machine action shall be same as the action
when the corresponding controls on the machine itself are in the neutral position.

Where fixed detent position(s) are provided for machine and/or attachment (tool) controls, the functions
activated by a detent position may be able to be maintained, even if the operator releases all other controls,
except when the resulting machine function(s) are potentially hazardous.

4.3.2.2 Marking

The controls on the remote control box shall have clearly marked directional orientation and directions of
movement for the machine and its equipment/attachment consistent with the control markings on the machine,
if the machine is so equipped (see ISO 6405-1 and ISO 6405-2).

4.3.2.3 Protection against unintended actuation

The controls on the remote control box shall be so arranged, deactivated or guarded to protect against
unintended action. A means shall be provided to guard against actuation in case the remote control box falls
from the operator’s hands or the operator falls while holding the remote control box.

A means shall be provided to disable the controls on the remote control box in the deactivated mode for
protection against unauthorized actuation.

4.3.2.4 Brake/stopping function

The machine shall be held in the standstill position (at maximum slope as specified by the manufacturer) when
the remote controls for travelling are in the neutral position. Braking systems of remote-controlled machines
shall comply with ISO 3450, ISO 10265 or ISO 17063.

4.3.2.5 Priority of controls at the operator's station

Generally, direct controls at the operator’s station, if equipped, shall have priority over remote operator
controls. See 4.6 for selection of controls.

4.4 Wired control

It shall be possible for the operator to control the machine from a position outside of the hazard zone.

The control cable shall be sufficient in length and flexibility to allow the operator to maintain an operating
position outside the hazard zone. With regard to pulling forces, the flexible electrical cables and fittings used in
cable-connected consoles shall comply with the requirements of IEC 60204-1:2000, 14.4.2 and 14.4.3.

Excessive tension on the control cable shall not cause actuation of the controls.

4.5 Stop control

4.5.1 General

A stop control shall be present on the remote control box and on the machine.

Activation of the stop control shall immediately stop all hazardous machine movement in a safe manner.

4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved


ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

4.5.2 Characteristics

It shall not be possible to restore the operation of a machine until the stop control has been manually reset.

Where several stop controls are provided, the operation of a machine shall not be restored until all stop
controls previously operated or activated have been reset.

4.5.3 Stop control button

Stop control shall generally be obtained by a push-button. Either the device or its marking shall be red in
colour (see IEC 60947-5-1).

The background around the stop control shall be of a contrasting colour.

The stop control button shall apply fail-safe design.

4.5.4 Machine

A remote-controlled machine should be equipped with a stop control button or other means that can be
activated by a person standing at ground level out of the path of forward travel of the machine.

4.6 Selecting switch

If the machine can also be controlled with controls on the machine (direct control), a selecting switch shall be
located at the operator's station on the machine for selecting direct or remote control.

The control selection (direct or remote control) shall only be possible by use of a key-switch, access code or a
switch in a lockable cab.

4.7 Impacts, shocks and vibrations

By design, operational impacts of the remote control box and the receiving unit shall not cause inadvertent
machine movement.

The remote control box shall withstand the following tests:

 free fall test according to IEC 60068-2-32;

 shock test (15 g shock load for 11 ms) according to ISO 15998

The receiving unit shall withstand the vibration test, according to ISO 15998.

4.8 Environmental protection

4.8.1 Remote control box

The environmental protection of the remote control box shall be IP 65 (see IEC 60529).

4.8.2 Receiving unit

The degree of protection is based on the location for the installation of the receiving unit. IP 54 shall be met if
the receiving unit is located inside the cab or a similar location; in all other cases, IP 65 shall be applied.

© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 5


ISO/FDIS 15817:2005(E)

4.9 Power supply

4.9.1 General

The loss of power supply for the remote control box, stop control or receiving unit shall not create hazardous
unintended machine movement. All controls and operating functions shall return to their neutral position,
resulting in all movements of the machine stopping in a controlled fashion, while the brake should
automatically be applied.

Re-establishing power supply shall not create hazardous unintended machine motion. Remote-controlled
operation shall only be possible after the reset of the transmission.

4.9.2 Remote control box

The presence of electrical power at the control box should be indicated by an optical device (LED or panel
light).

4.10 Warning devices

When the machine is working, a yellow/amber beacon on the machine shall be turned on, in either control
mode (remote-control or direct-control mode). The beacon shall be located at, or nearest to, the operator’s
position (eye position according to ISO 5006-1) to indicate to the bystander that the machine is remote
controlled.

NOTE A green beacon together with a red beacon can be installed on the machine, where the former indicates that
the machine is active and the remote control signal condition good, and the latter that some serious trouble has occurred
on the machine or that the machine has been stopped by some trouble.

It shall be possible to operate the audible warning device of the machine (e.g. horn) from the remote control
box, when the machine is remote-operated.

4.11 Travelling

4.11.1 Wireless control

The travelling speed shall not exceed 10 km/h. Faster travelling speed may be allowed if there are no
trespassers within the remote-controlled machine's moving area and the machine is remote controlled away
from the hazard zone.

4.11.2 Wired control

The maximum travelling speed shall be within pedestrian walking speed and shall not exceeding 6 km/h.

4.12 Type information

The following data shall be permanently fixed to the remote control system:

f) manufacturer;

g) type;

h) year of manufacture;

i) serial number.

The type information shall clearly indicate the relationship between remote control box and receiving unit and
be shown both on the remote control box and on an easily readable surface inside or near the operator station.
