Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the

market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance

etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document

by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the

drafting process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous

events are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or

type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements

of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the

requirements of this type-C standard.
All quantities are in metric units.
Tools

Being excluded from interchangeable equipment according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as amended)

Article 2 b), tools as such are not subject to the Machinery Directive. Characteristics of tools which

may be fitted to the machinery can be found in the instructions for use given by the truck

manufacturer according to 1.7.4.2 (n) Directive 2006/42/EC.
Interchangeable equipment

An interchangeable equipment is not part of the truck, according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as

amended) Article 2 b), because it is assembled with the truck by the operator himself in order to

change its function or attribute a new function. The instructions for machinery allow several uses

intended by design depending on the equipment used and the instructions for the interchangeable

equipment contain the information necessary for safe assembly and use of the basic machinery and

the interchangeable equipment that can be fitted (see Directive 2006/42/EC, 3.6.3.2).

The following items should be taken into account:

a) identification of a specific point on the truck for the installation of the interchangeable

equipment, i.e. truck-related side of the interface (hereafter referred to as “interface”): the

carriage;
b) interface safety-related design and coupling performances:
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 1459-5:2021
EN 1459-5:2020 (E)

— avoidance of unintentional displacements: locking (normal operation condition and truck

power supply failure condition);
— strength requirements: calculation and static and dynamic test;
— controls;
— information.

c) interchangeable equipment compatibility in order to be installable on the truck, i.e. choice of

approved types of interchangeable equipment, correct usage in combination with the truck,

minimum safety requirements.

Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC states that “The manufacturer of the

interchangeable equipment must ensure that the combination of the interchangeable equipment

and the basic machinery with which it is intended to be assembled fulfils all the relevant essential

health and safety requirements of Annex I and must carry out the appropriate conformity

assessment procedure”.

This document considers primary function of the truck the load handling, stacking and lifting

function, e.g. with forks.

1 Scope

This document specifies requirements for the truck side of the attachment interface of rough-

terrain non-slewing and slewing variable reach trucks (hereafter referred to as “trucks”) dealt with

in EN 1459-1:2017+A1:2020, EN 1459-2:2015+A1:2018 and EN 1459-4:2020.

This document covers the interface for the attachments fitted to the telescopic boom carriage or

mounted on the forks when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are

reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This document does not cover:

— interface for interchangeable equipment designed for lifting person(s) (covered by EN 1459-

3:2015);
— interface for equipment for container handling (e.g. spreader);

— interface for equipment permanently installed on the machine and not intended to be removed

by the user.
NOTE In this case, equipment becomes part of the truck.

This document does not give requirements for the completed assembly of a truck fitted with an

attachment. This document does not address risks to parts of the truck other than the interface with

the attachment.

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