Overview

FprEN 16307-2 is a European standard that outlines supplementary safety requirements and verification methods specifically for self-propelled variable-reach industrial trucks. Published by CEN, this standard works in conjunction with EN ISO 3691-2:2016, extending and enhancing safety provisions relevant to this truck category. The standard addresses critical hazards associated with these trucks-including electrical safety, noise and vibration control, electromagnetic compatibility, and operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

As a Type-C machine-specific standard under EN ISO 12100, FprEN 16307-2 ensures that manufacturers implement risk assessments and design measures to mitigate hazards throughout the lifecycle of variable-reach trucks. This covers normal operational conditions as well as reasonably foreseeable misuse scenarios.

Key Topics

• Electrical Requirements
  Compliance with EN 1175 parts is mandatory, ensuring safe electrical system design and operation on variable-reach trucks.

• Operator’s Seat Standards
  Operator seating must meet ergonomic and safety criteria as specified in EN 13490, supplementing EN ISO 3691-2 for enhanced operator protection and comfort.

• Protection Against Mechanical Risks
  Additional safeguards are required to prevent crushing, shearing, and trapping injuries. Fixed and removable guards must follow EN ISO 14120’s comprehensive guidelines, including retaining fixing systems upon removal.

• Longitudinal Stability and Load Handling
  Trucks are mandated to incorporate longitudinal load moment indicators and control systems compliant with EN 15000 to prevent instability risks.

• Visibility Requirements
  Enhanced visibility criteria supersede existing ISO 13564-1 specifications, ensuring operators have appropriate forward and rearward visibility for safe maneuvering.

• Noise Reduction by Design
  The standard calls for low-noise design practices per EN ISO 11688-1, targeting noise emission sources like combustion engines and hydraulic pumps. Measures include mounting isolation and operator cabin soundproofing.

• Vibration Limits
  Whole-body vibration exposure must be quantified as per EN 13059 to minimize operator fatigue and health risks.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
  Trucks must achieve EMC compliance according to EN 12895 to avoid electromagnetic interference affecting operation or surrounding equipment.

• Use in Explosive Atmospheres
  Specific provisions for trucks operating in potentially explosive environments are delineated by EN 1755, enhancing safety under hazardous conditions.

• User Information and Marking
  The standard requires comprehensive instruction handbooks and durable marking plates to inform users of safe operation, maintenance, and applicable hazards.

Applications

FprEN 16307-2 is crucial for manufacturers, safety engineers, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, certification, and deployment of self-propelled variable-reach trucks in industrial settings. It is especially relevant in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing plants, and outdoor loading operations where these trucks are widely used for material handling and storage.

Adherence to this standard helps:

• Reduce workplace accidents related to variable-reach truck operation.
• Enhance operator safety and comfort through ergonomic seat and vibration standards.
• Minimize noise pollution in industrial environments.
• Ensure machinery compatibility with electromagnetic environments.
• Facilitate safe operation in environments with explosive atmosphere risks.

Related Standards

FprEN 16307-2 should be applied alongside the following standards for a comprehensive safety framework:

• EN ISO 3691-2:2016 - Basic safety requirements for self-propelled variable-reach trucks.
• EN 1175 series - Electrical safety of industrial trucks.
• EN ISO 11688-1 - Low-noise machinery design principles.
• EN ISO 14120 - Safety guards for machinery.
• EN 15000 - Load moment indicators and limiters.
• EN 12895 - Electromagnetic compatibility for industrial trucks.
• EN 1755 - Safety for operation in explosive atmospheres.
• EN 13059 and EN 13490 - Measurement of vibration and seat safety.

Together, these standards establish rigorous safety, ergonomic, and performance criteria to ensure industrial trucks meet modern regulatory and operational demands. Following FprEN 16307-2 is essential to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency in the use of self-propelled variable-reach trucks.

Introduction
General
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machines 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 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.
The EN 16307 series of standards covers safety requirements and their verification for industrial trucks
as defined in ISO 5053-1 that are not covered exhaustively by EN ISO 3691 series.
Assessment of hazards
The product should be designed in such a way that it is fit for its purpose or function and can be
adjusted and maintained without putting persons at risk when used under the conditions foreseen by
the manufacturer.
In order to properly design a product and to cover all specific safety requirements, the manufacturer
will identify the hazards that apply to his product and carry out a risk assessment. The manufacturer
will then design and construct the product taking this assessment into account.
The aim of this procedure is to eliminate the risk of accidents throughout the foreseeable lifetime of the
machinery, including the phases of assembling and dismantling where risks of accidents could also arise
from foreseeable abnormal situations.
In selecting the most appropriate methods, the manufacturer will apply the following principles, in the
order given here:
a) eliminate or reduce risks as far as possible by design (inherently safe machinery design and
construction);
b) take the necessary protective measures in relation to risks that cannot be eliminated by design;
c) inform users of any shortcoming of the protective measures adopted;
d) indicate whether any particular training is required;
e) specify any need to provide personal protection equipment;
f) refer to the appropriate user's document for proper operating instructions.
Industrial trucks should be designed to prevent foreseeable misuse wherever possible, if such would
engender risk. In other cases, the instructions should draw the user's attention to ways shown by
experience in which the machinery ought not be used.
This part of EN 16307 does not repeat all the technical rules which are state-of-the art and which are
applicable to the material used to construct the industrial truck. Reference should also be made to
EN ISO 12100.
