This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 6 May 2018 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 1459-8:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150
“Industrial trucks - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
EN 1459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Rough-terrain trucks - Safety
requirements and verification:
— 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: Additional requirements for attachments and attachment interface
— Part 6: Application of EN ISO 13849-1 to slewing and non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks
(Technical Report)
— Part 7: Test method and determination of noise emission (in preparation) for variable-reach trucks
— Part 8: Variable-reach tractors (Technical Specification)
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document is applicable to rough-terrain variable-reach trucks homologated as tractors according
to 167/2013, called rough-terrain variable-reach tractors (RTVR tractors).
This document is also intended to highlight and explain the requirements of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC applicable to the permanently mounted equipment on a RTVR tractor.
It is based on EN 1459-1:2017.
The two following regulations apply to those RTVR tractors with permanently mounted equipment:
Tractor regulation 167/2013
Machinery directive 2006/42/CE for the permanently mounted equipment.
As a consequence, the two following documents accompany each piece of equipment:
— COC certificate of conformity
— DOC declaration of conformity for permanently mounted equipment
The permanently mounted equipment bears the CE marking.
All quantities are in SI units, and this includes metric units.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements related to permanent mounted equipment for rough-terrain
variable-reach tractors (here-after referred to as “RTVR tractors”) and additional requirements for the
combination.
This document does not apply to:
— machines designed primarily for earth moving, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with
forks (see EN 474 series);
— attachments.
This document does not address hazards which may occur
a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely;
b) when using RTVR tractors on public roads;
c) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;
d) when operating underground;
e) when towing trailers;
f) when fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459-3);
g) when using cruise-control.
This document does not provide a method of calculation for fatigue and strength of material.
This document is not applicable to RTVR tractors manufactured before the date of its publication.
