AS ISO 8152:2023 identically adopts ISO 8152:1984, which 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. It applies to all earth-moving machinery as defined in AS ISO 6165:2023.
