Burden-carriers shall be laden with 70 % of the maximum load as defined in EN ISO 3691-6.

4.3 Truck conditions

The truck to be tested shall be a sample that is representative of series production. For all parts of the

truck, with effect to the energy consumption, a run-in time of up to 100 h is permissible. The run-in time

shall be documented.

The truck to be tested shall be in a safe and functional state. All equipment attached shall be in

accordance to the specification of the manufacturer of the truck.

The set-up of the truck (e.g. software parameters) shall be available as per the manufacturer's

specification. That requirement means that the truck performance as specified is achievable (e.g.

driving and lifting speed, acceleration) and all software settings are commercially available to the

customer.

NOTE For instance, the test driver can adapt the maximum driving speed to achieve the cycles / hour.

The test truck shall be fitted with new tyres (max. 10 % of tread wear) which shall comply with the

specifications of the manufacturer of the truck. Pneumatic tyres shall be inflated to their correct

pressure specified by the truck manufacturer or by default from the tire manufacturer.

The fuel tanks of internal combustion engine trucks shall be filled to the maximum specified level prior

to the warm up period. All other tanks shall be filled to their correct operating levels, if applicable.

If the test is to be performed on a sample that is representative for a range of trucks with the same rated

capacity but different lift heights, the test shall be carried out on the truck with the specification

according to EN ISO 3691-1:2015, A.2.1. For trucks covered by prEN 1459-1, EN 1459-2 and

EN ISO 3691-2 see the specific requirements of the applicable part of EN 16796.

For trucks covered by EN ISO 3691-1 the specified lift height shall be at least the standard lift height

according to EN ISO 3691-1:2015, A.2.2. The truck’s specified lift height shall allow the measurement

procedures as defined in the specific part of the EN 16796 series.
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 16796-1:2017
EN 16796-1:2016 (E)

If the test is to be performed on a sample that is representative for a range of trucks with the same rated

capacity and the lift height is lower than the lift height that is specified in EN ISO 3691-1:2015, A.2.1 and

A.2.2, the test shall be carried out on the truck with the greatest lift height.

If the test is to be performed on a sample representative of a range of electrical trucks with the option of

different battery capacities the test shall be carried out on the truck with the standard battery/batteries

according to the data sheet of the manufacturer.
4.4 Environmental conditions

The measurement shall be carried out at an environmental temperature range between 10 °C and 30 °C.

The truck in test configuration shall be at operating temperature.

A minimum warm-up period of 10 min is required for the laden truck, before the test starts.

4.5 Truck maintenance

IC-trucks with emissions control systems that may require cleaning or regeneration of the emission

control device shall remain within manufacturer recommended parameters throughout the test. It is

allowed to block automatic regenerating of the emission control device during the test.

Machines with other emissions control systems utilizing additional reagents/materials shall remain

within manufacturers´ recommended parameters throughout the test.
4.6 Battery condition

Battery efficiencies are influenced by many factors e.g. cell technology, cell type, cell design and

geometry. Therefore, the battery efficiency as stated in 6.2.2 is representative for the tested battery

type / battery manufacturer.

If the battery technology requires any energy consuming auxiliary device e.g. battery management

system, controller, cooling or heating, this shall be included in the test.

The battery shall be charged to the rated capacity prior to the respective test. When tests require

discharging to the rated minimum capacity of the battery, this shall be determined by one of the

following methods:
a) Lead-acid batteries voltage:

The battery is discharged if the voltage is less than or equal 1,6 V/cell (according to EN 60254-1 for

discharge current I1).
b) Lead-acid rated capacity:

The battery is discharged if 80 % of the rated capacity is taken from the battery during the test.

Recuperation may be considered by calculating with 75 % of the recuperated current over time.

c) Other technologies:

Discharge criteria are defined by the battery manufacturer. This criterion shall be consistent with

all other specification provided with the battery type e.g. identical life time and life cycle

characteristic based on endurance tests. Dependent on the technology a discharge value given in

energy (Wh) may be used.

Trucks shall operate according to the manufacturers' instruction handbook and the test specification

defined in the specific part of EN 16796 with the load according to 4.2.3. Unless it is otherwise stated in

the specific part of the EN 16796 series, pick- and place-cycles may be simulated without depositing the

load.
NOTE The test load can be secured.

The speed shall be so adapted as to obtain the specified number of cycles per hour. Unless it is

otherwise stated in the specific part of EN 16796 simultaneous operations are not permissible, all load

handling and travelling functions shall be operated separately.

For truck types that are not covered exhaustively by a specific part of EN 16796, an appropriate

sequence of operations shall be selected depending on the design in accordance with the intended use

of the truck.
5.3 Electrical trucks
5.3.1 General

To determine the overall energy consumption of electric trucks the test shall consider:

— the overall efficiency of the truck, including motor, controller and electrical installation;

— the efficiency of the battery/batteries;
— the efficiency of the battery charger.

Because the equipment of trucks with batteries and battery chargers is versatile, it is typically

necessary to differ between these elements.

The following clauses are defining the procedure to determine the elements of the system efficiency.

5.3.2 Truck measurement

The battery of the truck shall be charged to the rated capacity prior to the warm-up period.

The measurement of the energy consumption shall start at the first test cycle. The warm-up period shall

be excluded from the measurement.

The energy consumption shall be given in terms of the electrical energy that is required for 1 h

performing the operating sequence, in kWh/h. This measurement can be done by continuous

measurement of voltage and current during the test.

The measurement of voltage and current shall be performed at the connector of the truck and the

traction battery.

NOTE 1 I < 0 represents recuperation. The factor f = 0,75 refers to the majority of traction batteries, namely

batt
lead-acid batteries.

NOTE 2 The factor f differs for other battery technologies, subject to future revisions of this standard.

If the power consumption is determined by measuring electric charge in Ah, the power consumption

shall be calculated by multiplication with the nominal battery voltage.

If the determination of the battery efficiency should be included in the truck measurement procedure,

the measurement cycle shall start with a battery charged to its rated capacity and shall continue until

the battery is discharged to the rated minimum capacity, see 4.6.
5.3.3 Battery efficiency
The battery efficiency consists of two elements that generate power loss:
— the energy flow to the truck (energy taken by the truck from the battery);

— the energy flow from the charger to the battery (energy for complete recharging of the discharged

battery).

NOTE The efficiency varies depending on the battery charging status, the current when discharging, the

current and method when charging, the battery temperature and the battery type.
The overall efficiency of the battery shall be determined by:

— Direct measurement of current and voltage during discharging the battery by performing the truck

measurement according to 5.3.2 until the battery is discharged to the rated minimum capacity, see

last paragraph of 5.3.2
