This part of EN 16796 specifies the methods of energy consumption measurement for container straddle carriers, as defined in ISO 5053-1:2015.

This part is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 16796-1.

This European Standard is applicable to industrial trucks, regardless of the power source (called only trucks) as defined in ISO/DIS 5053 1, and their electrical/electronic systems when used in residential, commercial, light industry and industrial environments (specified in EN 61000-6-3:2007 and EN 61000-6-2:2005). This European Standard specifies: - the requirements and the limit values for electromagnetic emission and immunity to external electromagnetic fields; - the procedure and criteria for testing trucks and their electrical/electronic systems. This European Standard is not applicable to: - non-stacking low-lift straddle carriers; - stacking high-lift straddle carriers; - any pedestrian propelled trucks, excepted those which are equipped with load handling devices which have electrical powered lifting devices; - trucks intended for use in the public domain ) with maximum speed exceeding 30 km/h; - positioning system of driverless industrial trucks; - interaction between systems on the trucks; - interference to on-board radio equipment; - equipment connected to AC-mains which is only used when the truck is not being operated (e.g. on board charger).

This part of ISO 3691 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for the following types of self-propelled industrial trucks (hereafter referred to as 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).

NOTE 1 Trucks powered by CNG (compressed natural gas) are not dealt with. It is intended that CNG and other power sources be addressed in future revisions of this part of ISO 3691.

For trucks with an elevating operator position of more than 1 200 mm and/or trucks designed to travel with an elevated load of more than 1 200 mm, this part of ISO 3691 is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 3691-3.

NOTE 2 ISO 3691-3 is not applicable to counterbalanced fork lift trucks or trucks intended for container handling.

NOTE 3 Some low-level order pickers with an elevating operator's position up to and including 1 200 mm lift height can be equipped with an additional lifting device to lift the load to a maximum lift height of 1 800 mm.

This part of ISO 3691 is not applicable to self-propelled variable-reach trucks, driverless trucks or burden carriers, which are covered in ISO 3691-2, ISO 3691-4 and ISO 3691-6, respectively.

It is not applicable to industrial trucks operating in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, hazardous environments), where special precautions can be necessary.

Regional requirements, additional to the requirements given in this part of ISO 3691, are addressed in ISO/TS 3691-7 and ISO/TS 3691-8.

This part of ISO 3691 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, as listed in Annex B, with the exception of the following, relevant to the applicable machines when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.

It does not establish requirements for hazards that can occur

during construction,

when handling suspended loads that can swing freely,

when using trucks on public roads,

when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres,

when using trucks in very narrow aisles with clearance of less than 500 mm to the racks,

arising from a non-ergonomic body attitude when driving sit-on trucks, load trailing,

during travelling with unladen trucks having a rated capacity of more than 10 000 kg, due to visibility concerns,

due to overload.

NOTE 4 For the purposes of this part of ISO 3691, fork arms, load platforms and integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the industrial truck. Attachments mounted on the load carrier or on the fork arms which are removable by the user are not considered to be part of the industrial truck. Requirements for attachments are given in the appropriate clauses.

This European Standard specifies the general safety requirements of self-propelled, variable-reach, rough-terrain trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), articulated or rigid chassis, intended to handle loads, which are equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g., carriage and fork arms) is fitted.

Fork arms are covered by this standard and are considered to be parts of the truck.

This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, with the exception of hazards listed in Annex A, 1.3 and 1.4.

This European Standard does not apply to:

— slewing variable reach rough terrain trucks covered by prEN 1459-2;

— industrial variable reach trucks covered by EN ISO 3691-2;

— lorry-mounted variable reach trucks;

— variable reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position;

— mobile cranes covered by EN 13000;

— machines designed primarily for earth moving, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with forks (see EN 474 series);

— trucks designed primarily with variable length load suspension elements (e.g., chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions;

— trucks fitted with personnel/work platforms, designed to move persons to elevated working positions;

— trucks designed primarily for container handling;

— trucks on tracks;

— trucks with articulated chassis;

— attachments (prEN 1459-5).

This European Standard does not address hazards linked to:

— hybrid power systems;

— gas power system;

— trucks equipped with gasoline engine;

— battery power system;

— tractor specific devices (e.g. PTO).

This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur:

a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in prEN 1459-4);

b) when using trucks 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 prEN 1459-3).

This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.
