Specifies operator training appropriate for earth-moving machinery, not including any procedure for assessment of competence of an operator's ability, or who is responsible for the training. Assumes that candidates for basic operator training will be inexperienced on the types of machine specified, and that candidates for more advanced training will previously have received basic training. Gives advice on proper selection of potential operators.

This International Standard specifies the nature of operator training appropriate for earth-moving machinery. It does not specify any procedure for proficiency or assessment of competence of an operator's ability, since these factors are usually covered by local and national procedures and regulations. It does not specify who is responsible for the training. It applies to machines as defined in ISO 6165.
