Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso

.org/iso/foreword .html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee

SC 2, Safety of powered industrial trucks.

It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 3691-1, ISO 3691-2, ISO 3691-3, ISO 3691-4 and

ISO 3691-6.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 3691-8:2012), which has been

technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— changes to the Australian requirements in relation to electrical requirements, fork arms, operator

restraints, electromagnetic compatibility, platforms equipped with fall protection, lift chains, fork

arms, platforms, operator protection and noise emission;
— changes to the North American requirements in relation to fork arms.
A list of all parts in the ISO 3691 series can be found on the ISO website.

Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/members .html.

ISO/TS 3691-8:2019(E)
Introduction

The ISO 3691 series has been developed to provide globally relevant International Standards

for industrial trucks. This goal was achieved with most of the issues. Where divergent regional

requirements remain, these are addressed by this document and by ISO/TS 3691-7.

ISO/TS 3691-7 addresses the legal requirements related to European Directives which could not be

accepted worldwide. ISO/TS 3691-8 addresses requirements related to regulations in force in other

countries that are not applicable elsewhere.

This document does not repeat all the technical rules which are state-of-the-art and are applicable to

the material used to construct the industrial truck. For these, see ISO 12100.
