Overview

SIST EN 16842-3:2019 is a European standard developed by CEN focusing on the visibility test methods and verification for powered industrial reach trucks with a capacity up to and including 10,000 kg. This standard applies to reach trucks operated by sit-on or stand-on operators without a load and works in conjunction with the general requirements outlined in EN 16842-1. It defines procedures to assess 360° visibility around the truck, aiming to enhance operator safety and prevent accidents related to limited visibility. The standard addresses hazards relevant to operator visibility that are foreseeable under normal and occasional misuse conditions.

Key Topics

  • Scope of application: Reach trucks with sit-on or stand-on operators and load capacity ≤ 10,000 kg.
  • Visibility assessment methodology: Standardized procedures to evaluate direct and indirect visibility from the operator's position using specific test equipment.
  • Operator position points:
    • Standing Index Point (STIP) for stand-on operators.
    • Seat Index Point (SIP) for sit-on operators.
  • Test paths and layout: Defined by precise measurements around the truck to represent operator sight lines and obstacles.
  • Test equipment: Simulated eye positions and test bodies that replicate potential obstacles to verify visibility.
  • Acceptance criteria: Specific visibility thresholds for traveling, maneuvering, and fork arm views, ensuring safety compliance.
  • Documentation: Requirements for detailed test reports and user information.

Practical Applications

  • Safety enhancement: By standardizing visibility testing, EN 16842-3 helps manufacturers improve operator sight lines, reducing blind spots.
  • Design optimization: Manufacturers use test results to optimize reach truck configurations, including fork arm length and operator cabin layout.
  • Regulatory compliance: Ensures reach trucks meet European safety regulations regarding operator visibility.
  • Risk reduction: Helps prevent accidents caused by poor visibility in industrial environments such as warehouses, logistics centers, and manufacturing plants.
  • Training and awareness: Clear visibility standards support operator training programs by highlighting visibility challenges and safe operating practices.

Related Standards

  • EN 16842-1:2018 – General requirements for visibility test methods of powered industrial trucks.
  • ISO 5053-1 – Terminology and classification of industrial trucks, including reach trucks.
  • EN ISO 3691-1:2015 – Safety requirements and verification for self-propelled industrial trucks.
  • Other parts of EN 16842 series covering different types and capacities of industrial trucks.

Summary

SIST EN 16842-3:2019 provides an essential framework for visibility testing of reach trucks up to 10,000 kg, ensuring that industrial machinery meets high safety standards for 360° operator visibility. It supports manufacturers, health and safety authorities, and end users in mitigating hazards related to limited sight distance and blind zones. Adherence to this standard enhances operational safety, reduces accident risks, and promotes better ergonomic design in powered industrial trucks.
