Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee
SC 4, Rough-terrain trucks.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10896-1:2012), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the document has been aligned with regional standards;
— a new steering test has been added;
— new requirements for the hydraulic circuit have been introduced.
A list of all parts in the ISO 10896 series can be found on the ISO website.

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in 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 organisations, 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.
This document has been developed in order to align as far as possible its requirements to those of the
applicable regional standards in Australia, EU, USA.

Rough-terrain trucks — Safety requirements and
verification —
Part 1:
Variable-reach trucks
1 Scope
This document specifies general safety requirements for non-slewing, rough-terrain variable-reach
trucks (referred to as trucks), with rigid chassis and equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoting
boom) on which a load-handling device such as a carriage with fork arms is typically fitted. Fork arms
and other integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the truck.
NOTE These trucks are also known as telehandlers, or telescopic handlers.
For the purpose of this document, trucks are designed to transport, lift and place loads and can be driven
on unimproved terrain. They can also be equipped with a variety of attachments or interchangeable
equipment (e.g. fork arms, bale spikes, mowers, sweepers) which can be both load-carrying and non-
load-carrying.
Other standards, in addition to the relevant provisions of this document, can apply to the attachments.
This document is not applicable to the following:
a) industrial variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 3691-2;
b) machines designed primarily for earth moving, such as loaders, even if their buckets are replaced
by fork arms (see ISO 20474-3);
c) trucks with articulated chassis;
d) machines designed primarily with variable-length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes)
from which the load can swing freely in all directions (mobile cranes);
e) trucks fitted with personnel/work platforms, designed to move per
