ISO 3691-5:2014 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of pedestrian-propelled trucks, equipped with load-handling devices for normal industrial duties, e.g. fork arms and platforms, or integrated attachments for special applications: pedestrian-propelled straddle stackers, pallet stackers, industrial trucks with capacities not exceeding 1 000 kg with manual or electrical battery-powered lifting, low-lift pallet trucks with lift height up to 300 mm and rated capacity up to 2 300 kg, scissor-lift pallet trucks with lift heights up to 1 000 mm or rated capacity up to 1 000 kg with manual or electrical battery-powered lifting. It is applicable to trucks provided with either manual or electrical battery-powered lifting, operating on smooth, level, hard surfaces.

ISO 3691-1:2011 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of self-propelled industrial trucks, as defined in ISO 5053: industrial counterbalanced trucks; reach trucks with retractable mast or retractable fork arm carriage; straddle trucks; pallet-stacking trucks; high-lift platform trucks; trucks with elevating operator position up to 1 200 mm; side-loading trucks (one side only); lateral-stacking trucks (both sides), and lateral- and front-stacking trucks; pallet trucks; bidirectional and multidirectional trucks; tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N; rough-terrain, counterbalanced trucks; industrial trucks powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

This Technical Report describes the risk assessment methodology followed to determine the Performance Level required (PLr), as defined in EN ISO 13849-1:2008, for specific safety related parts of control system (SRP/CS) of rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by prEN 1459-1, EN 1459-2 and EN 1459-3.
This Technical Report does not apply to SRP/CS that includes no electrical/electronic components.
NOTE   It is the intention of CEN TC150 WG2 to use the same methodology to develop future standards (e.g. further parts of EN 1459).

This European Standard specifies the additional safety requirements for trucks covered by
-   EN 1459-1: Rough-terrain variable reach trucks
-   EN 1459-2: Rough-terrain rotating trucks
-   EN ISO 3691-2: Industrial variable reach trucks
when these trucks are equipped with elevating work platform.
This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur:
a)   during manufacture;
b)   when handling suspended work platforms which may swing freely;
c)   when using trucks on public roads;
d)   when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;
e)   when operating underground.

This European Standard specifies dynamic tests for the verification of lateral stability for counterbalanced lift trucks according to EN ISO 3691 1 that have a centre control, sit down, non-elevating operator, with a rated capacity up to and including 5 000 kg when travelling on smooth level ground with the forks in travelling position. The standard is not applicable for Rough Terrain forklift trucks.
NOTE 1   Experience shows that counterbalanced lift trucks with a rated capacity over 5 000 kg are not significantly affected by lateral instability.
The requirements are specific to the various drive systems (e.g. Electric-/Internal-Combustion-Engine trucks), taking account of their varying influence on dynamic stability performance.
This European Standard does not cover the risk of a lateral tip over associated with driving backwards.
NOTE 2   Research has shown that driving backwards in typical working operations, such as unloading of a lorry, does not cause lateral instability. For this reason, only driving forward needs to be tested.
Risks due to falling off a loading dock or turning on a ramp are not covered by this European Standard.
Risks due to lifting or manoeuvring operations are covered by the respective stability tests.

This European Standard gives requirements for the types of industrial trucks specified in the scope of EN ISO 3691-6:2013.
This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN ISO 3691-6:2013. These requirements are supplementary to those stated in EN ISO 3691-6:2013 with the addition of following hazards:
-   Noise emissions
-   Vibration
-   Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
-   When operating in potentially explosive atmospheres
This European Standard replaces the following requirements of EN ISO 3691-6:2013:
-   Electrical requirements
This European Standard defines supplementary requirements to EN ISO 3691-6:2013:
-   Brakes
-   Operator's seat
-   Protection from burning
-   Protection against crushing, shearing and trapping
-   Visibility
-   Information for use (instruction handbook and marking)
Annex A (informative) contains the list of significant hazards covered by this European Standard.

This European Standard applies to rough-terrain variable reach trucks (herein-after referred to as ‘trucks’) that have a specific seated operator’s position, on the left hand side of the boom, or centre position (excluding operator position on the right side of the boom).
This European Standard specifies a static test method for determining and evaluating the operator’s visibility on a rectangular 1 m boundary close around the rough-terrain variable reach truck and on a 12 m visibility test circle. Performance requirements for visibility are specified in this standard.
This European Standard does not apply to rough-terrain variable reach trucks designed to handle freight containers (rough-terrain reach stackers).
It applies to trucks for operation on work sites.

This European Standard specifies the technical requirements, verification and test procedure for the longitudinal load moment indicators (LLMI) and longitudinal load moment control (LLMC) systems operating in the forward direction for self propelled variable reach trucks covered by EN 1459.
This European Standard completes the requirements of Clause 5.8.4 Longitudinal stability of EN 1459:1998.
The LLMI has been designated by the words longitudinal safety warning devices in EN 1459.
This European Standard covers LLMI and LLMC systems for stationary trucks performing loading or placing functions on consolidated, stable and level ground.
This European Standard does not cover the risk due to lateral instability, or instability due to the travelling of the truck. The LLMI and LLMC are not intended for warning of the overturning risk whilst the truck is travelling.
NOTE    Acknowledging that, at the time of publication, the requirements included in this European Standard do not represent the state of the art, a transition period of 24 months is permitted after the date of publication, such that manufacturers can develop their products sufficiently to meet the requirements of this European Standard.
