Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 7: Electrification
This document specifies electrical safety requirements for electrical systems of rough-terrain variable-reach trucks and slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks powered by one or more electric motors (hereafter referred to as trucks), namely pure electric and hybrid electric trucks, including when hydraulic systems are electrically powered. This document applies to electrical systems with maximum voltage greater than 32 up to 1500 V DC or greater than 21 up to 1000 V AC r.m.s.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
The significant hazards (see EN ISO 12100:2010, Annex B) dealt with in this document are listed in Annex A.
This document does not deal with hazards which could occur:
- during construction;
- when operating trucks in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This document does not cover:
- electrical systems of trucks with maximum working voltage up to 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s (see relevant requirements in EN 1459-1 or EN 1459-2, as applicable);
- electric regenerative braking systems;
- electrical systems of externally-powered trucks designed for operation only when mains-connected.
NOTE Electrical systems of trucks designed to be both externally-powered and self-propelled are covered in this document when not mains-connected.
This document does not deal with sales literature.
This document does not address hazards specifically related to:
- trucks designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy (autonomous trucks), including trucks which move autonomously to the charging station, or when truck has embedded safety-systems with fully or partially self-evolving behaviour or logic using machine learning approaches;
- trucks with communication network connection.
This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.

Dieses Dokument legt die elektrischen Sicherheitsanforderungen für elektrische Systeme von geländegängigen Staplern mit veränderlicher Reichweite und schwenkbaren geländegängigen Staplern mit veränderlicher Reichweite fest, die von einem oder mehreren Elektromotoren angetrieben werden (im Folgenden als Staplern bezeichnet), nämlich reine Elektro- und Hybridelektrostapler, einschließlich hydraulischer Systeme, die elektrisch betrieben werden. Dieses Dokument gilt für elektrische Systeme mit einer maximalen Spannung von mehr als 32 V DC bis 1 500 V DC oder mehr als 21 V AC bis 1 000 V AC (Effektivwert).
Dieses Dokument behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die auf Stapler zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter Bedingungen von durch den Hersteller vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendungen verwendet werden.
Die signifikanten Gefährdungen (siehe EN ISO 12100:2010, Anhang B), die in diesem Dokument behandelt werden, sind in Anhang A aufgeführt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Gefahren, die unter folgenden Umständen auftreten könnten:
- während des Baus;
- während des Betriebs von Staplern in explosionsfähigen Atmosphären.
Dieses Dokument deckt die folgenden Aspekte nicht ab:
- elektrische Systeme von Staplern mit einer maximale Betriebsspannung von bis zu 32 V DC oder 21 V AC (Effektivwert) (siehe Anforderungen in EN 1459-1 oder EN 1459-2, sofern zutreffend;
- elektrische regenerative Bremssysteme;
- elektrische Systeme von Staplern mit Fremdantrieb, die nur für den Betrieb mit Netzanschluss ausgelegt sind.
ANMERKUNG Elektrische Systeme von Staplern, die sowohl für den Fremdantrieb als auch für den Eigenantrieb ausgelegt sind, werden in diesem Dokument behandelt, wenn sie nicht an das Stromnetz angeschlossen sind.
Verkaufsunterlagen werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Gefährdungen, die speziell mit folgendem verbunden sind:
- Stapler, die für den Betrieb mit unterschiedlichen Autonomiegraden ausgelegt sind (autonome Stapler), einschließlich Stapler, die sich selbständig zur Ladestation bewegen, oder Stapler mit eingebetteten Sicherheitssystemen mit vollständig oder teilweise selbstveränderlichem Verhalten oder Logik unter Verwendung von Maschinenlernen-Ansätzen;
- Stapler mit einer Kommunikationsnetzwerkverbindung.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Stapler, die vom Veröffentlichungsdatum dieser Veröffentlichung hergestellt wurden.

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
