European foreword
This document (prEN 1459-7:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150
“Industrial Trucks - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
EN 1459, Rough-terrain trucks — Safety requirements and verification, consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Variable-reach trucks
— Part 2: Slewing variable-reach trucks
— Part 3: Interface between the variable-reach truck and the work platform
— Part 4: Additional requirements for variable reach trucks handling suspended loads
— Part 5: Attachments and attachment interface
— Part 6: Application of EN ISO 13849-1 to slewing and non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks
(CEN/TR)

— Part 8: Variable-reach tractors (CEN/TS)
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.
This noise-test code specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under
standardized conditions the determination, declaration and verification of the noise-emission
characteristics of trucks.
Noise-emission characteristics include the emission sound pressure levels at workstations and the
sound power level.
The determination of those values is necessary for:
— manufacturers to declare the noise emitted from their machines;
— the design stage and to ensure conformity of production.
The test codes here described are taken from the Working Group 7 position paper – Summary of
information gathered to contribute to the Article 20 report (version NOISE/13/01/2 rev.1 adopted June
2013).
The use of these test codes ensures that the tests are conducted and the data is processed in a reliable
and reproducible manner.
Test codes defines the limits accuracies and are conducted in engineering methods (grade 2).
Main sources of noise in trucks are:
— internal combustion engine;
— hydraulic components (cylinders, pump…);
— motor fans;
— control valves;
— exhaust gas emission point;
— transmission components.
Typical measures to reduce noise at design stage are:
— selection of low noise components;
— use of exhaust silencers for engine.
Typical measures to reduce noise by protective measures are:
— the use of sound insulating covers and enclosures around noisy co
