Describes training of mechanics and programs appropriate for earth-moving machinery, not including any procedure for assessment of competence or ability. Not intended to override national Standards or regulations. Assumes that candidates will previously have received basic education, and notes the need for a high degree of aptitude, enthusiasm, and physical fitness.

This International Standard describes the training of mechanics appropriate for earth-moving machinery. It does not specify any procedure for assessing proficiency or competence, since these factors are usually covered by local and national practices and regulations.This International Standard is not intended to override any applicable national regulations or standards.It applies to all earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165.
