CEN/TC 150/WG 3 - Automated trucks

This European Standard applies to all trucks and their systems except: a) trucks solely guided by mechanical means (rails, guides, etc); b) trucks operating in areas open to persons unaware of the hazards. For the purpose of this standard,  a driverless industrial truck is a powered vehicle, including any trailers designed to travel automatically in which the safety of operation does not depend on an operator. Remote controlled trucks are not considered driverless trucks.

1.1 This European Standard deals with the controls and control systems for automated functions of industrial
trucks with an operator (hereinafter referred to as "trucks").
1.2 The control system is generally part of the truck but can include components external to the truck, eg for
the guidance means for automated steering.
1.3 This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the specific hazards listed in
clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of automated functions of
trucks when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative. In addition, trucks should comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards not covered by this
standard or the applicable companion standards.
1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to safety equipment (e.g. devices for height limitation, speed
limitation) used to override driver control.
