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.

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/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee
SC 4, Rough-terrain trucks.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11525-1:2012) which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
1)
— requirements related to training have been moved to ISO 23676 ;
— operator qualifications and requirements for an operator to be trained have been merged;
— requirements related to refuelling have been added.
A list of all parts in the ISO 11525 series can be found on the ISO website.

4 General requirements
4.1 Principles
4.1.1 This document shall be supplemented by good management practices, safety controls and
application of sound principles of safety, training, inspection, maintenance, application selection and
operation. All data available regarding the parameters of intended use and expected environment shall be
considered. Those with direct control over the application and operation of the truck shall be responsible
for ensuring good safety practices.
NOTE Different operating conditions can require additional safety precautions, training and special safe
operating procedures.
4.1.2 The operation of any truck is subject to certain hazards that can be protected against only by the
exercise of care and common sense. It is essential to have competent persons trained in the intended use,
safe operation, maintenance and service of the truck and any attachment(s).

conditions, handling of load found at the workplace and local emergency procedures.
4.6 Inspection and maintenance
4.6.1 General
4.6.1.1 The inspection and maintenance of trucks shall be performed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s and user’s recommendations. This includes:

authorized area where safe clearances exist.
4.6.2 Preparation for inspection or repair
In preparation for, and prior to, starting the inspection or repair of a truck:
— park the truck on a firm, level surface;
— set the direction control in neutral, apply the parking brake, switch off the engine or power system
and remove the device (for example, key, magnetic card) that prevents starting without the use of
such a device;
— apply means to ensure the truck remains stationary (for example, wheel chocks and setting of a
park brake);
— implement manufacturer-approved methods/devices as outlined in the operator’s manual(s) to
prevent unintentional movement of the truck/components before working on or around it;
— eliminate the possibility of unintentional fluid escape before any part of that system is disconnected;
— disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system, as directed by the manufacturer;
— eliminate the possibility of an unintentional stored energy release (for example, from the accumulator
or hydraulic system);
— use the appropriate personal protective equipment.
4.6.3 Performance checks
4.6.3.1 Prior to conducting the performance checks, the user shall ensure that the pre-operation
inspection has been properly performed as per the manufacturer’s instructions and a record kept of
the check.
