5 Measurement procedure
5.1 General
The following clauses are describing the measurement procedure that is applicable for trucks in
general. For specific information for different truck types see the respective part of EN 16796.
5.2 Operating sequenceTrucks 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 measurementThe 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

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