2020-05-07 JF: through decision BT C079/2020, taken on 2020-05-06, the CEN/BT approved the revised Annex ZA. Standard under publication.
2020-03-03 JF: CCMC is preparing a BT document on the revised Annex ZA for the BT approval.
positive PUB assessment of the revised Annex ZA
2020-01-23 TC provided revised Annex ZA -> to be submitted for HAS assessment
2020-01-22 JF:EC confirmed the template for Annex ZA
2019-11-06 JF: there is a need to review Annex ZA before publication. the machinery sector is claryfing the Annex ZA for this kind of standards (global relevance). Expected to be clarified by ca end November 2019.
2019-04-17: WI started as prA2 and changed to prA1 to follow ISO.

This European Standard specifies functional, safety requirements and test methods applicable to inflatable type buoyancy compensating devices intended to provide divers with means for controlling buoyancy and if applicable, means for carrying the breathing equipment and/or carrying the weights.
This European Standard is not applicable to other kinds of personal equipment such as life preservers, personal flotation or rescue devices including combined buoyancy and rescue devices.

ISO 3691-1:2011 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of self-propelled industrial trucks, as defined in ISO 5053: industrial counterbalanced trucks; reach trucks with retractable mast or retractable fork arm carriage; straddle trucks; pallet-stacking trucks; high-lift platform trucks; trucks with elevating operator position up to 1 200 mm; side-loading trucks (one side only); lateral-stacking trucks (both sides), and lateral- and front-stacking trucks; pallet trucks; bidirectional and multidirectional trucks; tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N; rough-terrain, counterbalanced trucks; industrial trucks powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

ISO 3691-1:2011 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of self-propelled industrial trucks, as defined in ISO 5053: industrial counterbalanced trucks; reach trucks with retractable mast or retractable fork arm carriage; straddle trucks; pallet-stacking trucks; high-lift platform trucks; trucks with elevating operator position up to 1 200 mm; side-loading trucks (one side only); lateral-stacking trucks (both sides), and lateral- and front-stacking trucks; pallet trucks; bidirectional and multidirectional trucks; tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N; rough-terrain, counterbalanced trucks; industrial trucks powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

This European Standard specifies dynamic tests for the verification of lateral stability for counterbalanced lift trucks according to EN ISO 3691 1 that have a centre control, sit down, non-elevating operator, with a rated capacity up to and including 5 000 kg when travelling on smooth level ground with the forks in travelling position. The standard is not applicable for Rough Terrain forklift trucks.
NOTE 1   Experience shows that counterbalanced lift trucks with a rated capacity over 5 000 kg are not significantly affected by lateral instability.
The requirements are specific to the various drive systems (e.g. Electric-/Internal-Combustion-Engine trucks), taking account of their varying influence on dynamic stability performance.
This European Standard does not cover the risk of a lateral tip over associated with driving backwards.
NOTE 2   Research has shown that driving backwards in typical working operations, such as unloading of a lorry, does not cause lateral instability. For this reason, only driving forward needs to be tested.
Risks due to falling off a loading dock or turning on a ramp are not covered by this European Standard.
Risks due to lifting or manoeuvring operations are covered by the respective stability tests.

This European Standard gives requirements for the types of industrial trucks specified in the scope of EN ISO 3691-1.
This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN ISO 3691-1. These requirements are supplementary to those stated in EN ISO 3691-1 with the addition of hazards, which can occur when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This European standard covers the following requirements:
-   Electrical requirements
-   Noise emissions
-   Vibration
-   Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This European standard defines supplementary requirements to EN ISO 3691-1:
-   Travel speed
-   Brakes
-   Travel and breaking controls - Additional operation from alongside pedestrian-controlled and stand-on trucks
-   Lift chains
-   Mast tilt and carriage isolation
-   Operator's seat
-   Protection against crushing, shearing and trapping
-   Visibility
-   Information for use (instruction handbook and marking)
Annex A (informative) contains the list of significant hazards covered by this European Standard.

This part of ISO 3691 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of self-propelled industrial trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), as defined in ISO 5053: a) industrial counterbalanced trucks; b) reach trucks with retractable mast or retractable fork arm carriage; c) straddle trucks; d) pallet-stacking trucks; e) high-lift platform trucks; f) trucks with elevating operator position up to 1 200 mm; g) side-loading trucks (one side only); h) lateral-stacking trucks (both sides), and lateral- and front-stacking trucks; i) pallet trucks; j) bidirectional and multidirectional trucks; k) tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N; l) rough-terrain counterbalanced trucks; m) industrial trucks powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).
