Appendix II: The ISO 10261/ 2002 Standard
ISO 10261/2002 is the International Standard which specifies the requirements, content, structure and location of a unique product identification numbering system for all earth-moving construction machinery and agricultural machinery.
When purchasing machinery, the ERA advises members that it is best practise to make sure that the machinery or equipment purchased is marked, stamped and or identifiable to this ISO 10261/2002 standard.
These unique numbers are very important, and you will need to keep records of these numbers to inform the Police or Law Enforcement Agencies if your machine or equipment is stolen. These unique machine numbers, the machine make, model and description plus your company or organisation contact details can also be recorded with an approved registration scheme and database.
