CAN/CSA-M5353-00 (R2005)

This National Standard of Canada is based on International Standard ISO 5353:1995 (second edition, 1995-12-01). 1. Scope This International Standard specifies a method and the device for use in determining the position of the seat index point (SIP) for any kind of seat designed for earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, and tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry as defined in ISO 3339-0. This provides a uniform method for defining the location of the SIP in relation to a fixing point on the seat. The SIP may be determined on a seat by itself or with the seat located in its operating environment on the machine. The SIP is a characteristic of the seat; therefore, it may be specified by the seat manufacturer.
