Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work o f 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 o f
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
di fferent types o f ISO documents should be noted. This document was dra fted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some o f the elements o f this document may be the subject o f
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identi fying any or all such patent rights. Details o f
any patent rights identified during the development o f the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is in formation given for the convenience o f users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature o f standards, the meaning o f ISO specific terms and
expressions related to con formity assessment, as well as in formation about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www.iso .org/iso/foreword .html
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 127, Earth-moving machinery,
Subcommittee SC 2, Safety, ergonomics and general requirements.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 20474-2:2008), which has been
technically revised with the following changes:
— the term tractor-dozer has been changed to dozer;
— references to national and regional provisions in the withdrawn ISO/TS 20474-14 have been deleted;
— sa fety requirements and protective measures have been added.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 20474-1.
A list of all parts in the ISO 20474 series, published under the general title, Earth-moving machinery —
Safety, can be found on the ISO website.

Introduction
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 o f this type-C standard are di fferent from those which are stated in type-A or B
standards, the requirements o f this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements o f the
other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.
ISO 20474 provides acceptable sa fety requirements for earth-moving machinery. This standard does
not necessarily provide requirements to meet all national and regional regulatory provisions, e.g. Japan
does not allow object handling with earth-moving machinery.

Part 2:
Requirements for dozers
1 Scope
This document gives the sa fety requirements specific to wheeled dozers and crawler dozers as defined
in ISO 6165 as well as for the rear-mounted winches on dozers. It is intended to be used in conjunction
with ISO 20474-1, which specifies general sa fety requirements common to two or more earth-moving
machine families. The specific requirements given in this document take precedence over the general
requirements of ISO 20474-1.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the earth-
moving machinery within its scope (see ISO 20474-1:2017, Annex A) when used as intended or under
conditions o f misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manu facturer. It specifies the appropriate technical
measures for eliminating or reducing risks arising from relevant hazards, hazardous situations or
events during commissioning, operation and maintenance.
This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
