Overview
EN 1755:2000+A1:2009/FprA2 is a CEN standard addressing the safety of industrial trucks operated in potentially explosive atmospheres - specifically for environments containing flammable gases, vapours, mists and combustible dust. The document is a draft amendment (A2) to EN 1755:2000+A1:2009 and updates normative references, material and spark-generation requirements, and marking rules to support conformity with applicable EU requirements. It is intended to be used alongside relevant European directives and national implementations to demonstrate presumption of conformity when cited in the Official Journal.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and references
- Updates normative reference to EN 13463-1:2009 (non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres - basic method and requirements).
- Materials for load-handling devices
- Surfaces subject to ground or load friction must be cladded with copper, copper‑zinc, zinc, or non‑metallic materials (e.g., rubber, thermoplastic fluoropolymers, plastics).
- For combustible gas/air mixtures of explosion groups IIA and IIB and for combustible dust, stainless steel or stainless‑steel cladding is permitted; stainless steel must contain at least 16.5% chromium.
- Note: attention to static electricity when using non‑metallic materials is recommended.
- Mechanically generated sparks
- Rotating parts or light metal alloys that may produce friction or impact must comply with clause 6.4 of EN 13463‑1:2009 or be protected to prevent friction/impact during foreseeable malfunction.
- Specific restrictions for clutches, brakes and load handling devices are referenced (clauses 5.2.8–5.2.10).
- Marking and information plate
- Trucks must carry a durable information plate including manufacturer, type/series, serial number, mass, rated and actual capacities, battery data (if applicable), nominal power (kW), and explosion protection marking.
- Explosion marking must show equipment group II, category 2 or 3, and letters G and/or D for gas/mist/vapour and dust atmospheres.
- Ex‑marking must include group subdivision (e.g., IIA, IIB) and either a temperature class or the actual maximum surface temperature in °C.
- CE marking and related directive symbols apply where relevant.
Applications and Users
- Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and designers of industrial trucks and attachments
- Safety and compliance engineers, conformity assessment bodies
- Plant safety managers and maintenance personnel in hazardous industries
- Procurement teams specifying trucks for flammable atmospheres
- Where it applies
- Warehouses, chemical plants, grain handling facilities, petrochemical sites and other areas where flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts may create explosive atmospheres.
- Practical value
- Guides material selection and protective measures to minimize ignition sources and mechanically generated sparks.
- Defines mandatory marking and information required for safe selection, operation and conformity assessment.
