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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
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.
ISO/TS 3691-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee SC 2,
Safety of powered industrial trucks.
ISO 3691 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial trucks — Safety requirements and
verification:
⎯ Part 1: Self-propelled industrial trucks, other than driverless trucks, variable-reach trucks and burden-
carrier trucks
⎯ Part 2: Self-propelled variable-reach trucks
⎯ Part 3: Additional requirements for trucks with elevating operator position and trucks specifically designed
to travel with elevated loads
⎯ Part 4: Driverless industrial trucks and their systems
⎯ Part 5: Pedestrian-propelled trucks
⎯ Part 6: Burden and personnel carriers
⎯ Part 7: Regional requirements for countries within the European Community [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 8: Regional requirements for countries outside the European Community [Technical Specification]

ISO/TS 3691-7:2011(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 part of ISO 3691 and by ISO/TS 3691-8.
This part of ISO 3691 addresses those 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.
Annex A presents a list of significant hazards not covered exhaustively by ISO 3691-1, ISO 3691-2,
ISO 3691-3, ISO 3691-4, ISO 3691-5 or ISO 3691-6.
This part of ISO 3691 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.

See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.2.3.
4.1.4 Brakes
The parking and service brakes of trucks that can travel with an elevated operator position and/or elevated
load above 500 mm, and up to and including 1 200 mm, are subject to the following requirements:
⎯ for travel speeds up to and including 9 km/h, parking brakes shall be in accordance with ISO 6292:2008,
6.1.2 a), and service brakes shall comply with the specifications of ISO 6292:2008, Table 2, Group C;
⎯ for travel speeds above 9 km/h, parking brakes shall be in accordance with ISO 6292:2008, 6.1.2 b) and

ISO/TS 3691-7:2011(E)
⎯ for trucks u 10 000 kg rated capacity:
K W 5
1
⎯ for trucks > 10 000 kg rated capacity:
K W 5 − 0,2(Q′ − 10), but not less than 4
1
where Q′ is the rated capacity of the truck, in tonnes.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.6.1.
4.1.7 Mast tilt and carriage isolation
For ride-on trucks, the movement of powered attachments shall not be possible through operation of the
control when the operator is not in the normal operating position.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.6.3.5.
4.1.8 Operator's seat
The operator's seat shall be specified and marked in accordance with EN 13490.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.7.4.
4.1.9 Protection against crushing, shearing and trapping
4.1.9.1 General
Where fixed and/or removable guard systems are needed, the requirements of EN 953 shall be met.
When a fixed guard is removed, its fixing system shall remain on the guard or truck. This requirement applies
to any fixed guards that are liable to be removed by the user with a risk of loss of the fixings, e.g. fixed guards
that are liable to be removed during routine maintenance or setting operations carried out at the place of use.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.7.7.1.
4.1.9.2 Pedestrian and stand-on end-controlled trucks with mast

or up to 2,2 m from the ground, whichever is less.
4.1.10 Load control
NOTE Taking into account the state of the art, it is not possible to meet the objectives for load control and load
moment indicators.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.8.1.
4.1.11 Lateral stability
NOTE The European standard under development, prEN 16203, provides the procedure for performing dynamic
tests for the verification of lateral stability while travelling, applicable for counterbalanced lift trucks that have a centre
control, sit-down, non-elevating operator, with a rated capacity up to and including 5 000 kg.

with the following:
25 % of the vertical surface of the test body
4.1.13 Reduction of noise by design
4.1.13.1 General
Industrial trucks shall be designed and constructed such that risks resulting from the emission of airborne
noise are reduced according to the state of the art.
When noise is a significant hazard, there is need for a low-noise design. In this case, the methodology for
low-noise design given in ISO 11688-1 shall be considered.
NOTE ISO 11688-2 gives useful information on noise-generation mechanisms in machinery.
Normally, noise is not a significant hazard for battery-powered trucks.
4.1.13.2 Main source of noise
On industrial trucks, the main sources of noise are components, such as the following, in a high-speed
operation mode:
⎯ combustion engines, including air intake, cooling fan and exhaust system;
⎯ hydraulic pumps/motors.
