Overview
EN ISO 3691-1:2015 (ISO 3691-1:2011, incl. Cor 1:2013) is the European adoption of the international safety standard for self-propelled industrial trucks (excluding driverless, variable‑reach and burden‑carrier trucks). It sets safety requirements and means of verification for a wide range of powered trucks used in material handling - from counterbalanced forklifts to pallet trucks and outdoor rough‑terrain trucks - and supports conformity with the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard addresses design, protective measures and verification across the lifecycle of industrial trucks. Major technical topics include:
- Scope of covered truck types: counterbalanced trucks, reach trucks with retractable mast/fork arm, straddle trucks, pallet‑stacking and pallet trucks, high‑lift platform trucks, side‑loading and lateral‑stacking trucks, bidirectional/multidirectional trucks, tractors (drawbar pull ≤ 20 000 N), rough‑terrain trucks; powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG.
- Safety systems and controls: starting/moving interlocks, braking systems, manual control actuators and power systems.
- Lifting and tilting systems: requirements for forks, masts, elevating operator positions (up to 1 200 mm) and load handling devices.
- Operator environment: operator positions, visibility, lighting, protective devices and ergonomics.
- Stability and structural integrity: tests and design measures to ensure static/dynamic stability and strength.
- Verification methods: structural tests, functional verification procedures and criteria.
- Information for use: instruction handbook requirements, marking and documentation for safe operation and maintenance.
- Environmental and towing considerations: environmental conditions, devices for towing and regional application notes.
(Reference: clause structure in the standard - e.g., clauses 4–6, Annexes A & B.)
Practical applications
EN ISO 3691-1 is used to:
- Design safe forklifts and other powered industrial trucks in compliance with international best practice.
- Develop factory acceptance tests and verification protocols (structural and functional tests).
- Prepare operator manuals, marking and CE‑conformity documentation required under the Machinery Directive.
- Create procurement specifications and supplier acceptance criteria for safe material‑handling equipment.
- Inform maintenance, inspection and safety management programs to reduce workplace accidents.
Who should use this standard
- Design and R&D engineers for industrial trucks
- Manufacturers and OEM compliance teams
- Safety managers, plant engineers and fleet managers
- Test laboratories and certification bodies
- Procurement and maintenance professionals
- Regulatory and inspection authorities
Related standards
ISO 3691 is a multi‑part family. Relevant complementary parts include ISO 3691‑2 to ISO 3691‑6 and technical specifications ISO/TS 3691‑7 and ISO/TS 3691‑8 for regional requirements. Use EN ISO 3691‑1 alongside ISO 12100 (risk assessment) and applicable local regulations.

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.
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 3691-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety
of powered industrial trucks.
This first edition of ISO 3691-1, together with ISO 3691-2, ISO 3691-3, ISO 3691-4, ISO 3691-5, ISO 3691-6,
ISO/TS 3691-7 and ISO/TS 3691-8, cancels and replaces ISO 3691:1980, of which it constitutes a technical
revision. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 3691:1980/Amd 1:1983.
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

Introduction
General
This document is a type-C standard as stated in 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 ISO 3691 series of standards covers safety requirements and their verification for industrial trucks as
defined in ISO 5053.
Structure
An important step forward in the work on the ISO 3691 series of standards was the agreement to issue a new
structure of International Standards for industrial trucks having on one side basic standards for all kinds of
trucks (see Foreword) and on the other side independent standards to cover the respective specific functions
of industrial trucks, e.g. visibility, noise, vibration, electrical requirements, etc.
Assessment of hazards
The product needs to 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 have
to identify the hazards that apply to his product and carry out a risk assessment. The manufacturer will then
need to 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 need to 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 need to be designed to prevent foreseeable misuse wherever possible, if such would
engender risk. In other cases, the instructions will need to draw the user's attention to ways shown by
experience in which the machinery ought not be used.
ISO 3691-1:2011(E)
This part of ISO 3691 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 will also need to be made to
ISO 12100.
Legislative situation/Vienna Agreement
From the very beginning, the task of the working group was to revise ISO 3691:1980 and establish worldwide
basic standards to comply with the major legislative regulations in, for example, the EU, Japan, Australia and
North America.
Every effort was made to develop a globally relevant International Standard. That goal was achieved with
most of the issues. For several potential problem areas compromises were needed and will be needed in the
future. Where divergent regional requirements remain, these are addressed by ISO/TS 3691-7:2011 and
ISO/TS 3691-8.
In order to ensure that the revised International Standard will be actively used in the ISO member countries,
worldwide, procedures will be necessary to replace the existing national standards and technical regulations
by the revised International Standard. In the European Community, ISO and the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) agreed on technical co-operation under the Vienna Agreement, with the aim of
replacing European Standards (EN) by International Standards. Other countries are asked to make similar
agreements to ensure that their national standards and technical regulations are replaced by this International
Standard.
Only by these actions will there be the guarantee that products in accordance with International Standards can
be shipped worldwide freely without any technical barriers.

k) tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N;
l) rough-terrain counterbalanced trucks;
m) industrial trucks powered by battery, diesel, gasoline or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).
NOTE 1 Trucks powered by CNG (compressed natural gas) are not dealt with. It is intended that CNG and other power
sources be addressed in future revisions of this part of ISO 3691.
For trucks with an elevating operator position of more than 1 200 mm and/or trucks designed to travel with an
elevated load of more than 1 200 mm, this part of ISO 3691 is intended to be used in conjunction with
ISO 3691-3.
NOTE 2 ISO 3691-3 is not applicable to counterbalanced fork lift trucks or trucks intended for container handling.
NOTE 3 Some low-level order pickers with an elevating operator's position up to and including 1 200 mm lift height can
be equipped with an additional lifting device to lift the load to a maximum lift height of 1 800 mm.
ISO 3691-1:2011(E)
This part of ISO 3691 is not applicable to self-propelled variable-reach trucks, driverless trucks or burden
carriers, which are covered in ISO 3691-2, ISO 3691-4 and ISO 3691-6, respectively.
It is not applicable to industrial trucks operating in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer
applications, hazardous environments), where special precautions can be necessary.
Regional requirements, additional to the requirements given in this part of ISO 3691, are addressed in
ISO/TS 3691-7 and ISO/TS 3691-8.
This part of ISO 3691 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, as listed in
Annex B, with the exception of the following, relevant to the applicable machines when used as intended and
under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
It does not establish requirements for hazards that can occur
during construction,
when handling suspended loads that can swing freely,
when using trucks on public roads,
when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres,
when using trucks in very narrow aisles with clearance of less than 500 mm to the racks,
arising from a non-ergonomic body attitude when driving sit-on trucks, load trailing,
during travelling with unladen trucks having a rated capacity of more than 10 000 kg, due to visibility
concerns,
due to overload.
NOTE 4 For the purposes of this part of ISO 3691, fork arms, load platforms and integrated attachments are
considered to be parts of the industrial truck. Attachments mounted on the load carrier or on the fork arms which are
removable by the user are not considered to be part of the industrial truck. Requirements for attachments are given in the
appropriate clauses.
