Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 3: Additional requirements for trucks with elevating operator position and trucks specifically designed to travel with elevated loads (ISO 3691-3:2016)

This part of ISO 3691 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification, additional to those
of ISO 3691-1, for industrial trucks with a vertical, non-tilting mast:
a) those trucks having an elevating operator position, and order‑picking trucks, as defined in
ISO 5053-1, where the elevating operator position and the load‑handling device lifts to a height of
more than 1 200 mm above ground level;
b) lateral- and front-stacking trucks, as defined in ISO 5053-1, designed to travel with a load-handling
device elevated more than 1 200 mm above ground level, with the load-handling device elevated,
lowered or laterally displaced, laden or unladen, while the truck is travelling.
These trucks are designed to travel indoors on a smooth, level surface (e.g. concrete) and can be guided,
unguided, or both, when in use; they are not intended to tow or push.
This part of ISO 3691 is not applicable to stacker trucks which handle two loads, one on the forks and
the other on the support arms, this type of truck being covered by ISO 3691-1.
It is not applicable to trucks with an elevating operator position up to and including 1 200 mm, or to
trucks specifically designed to travel with an elevated load having a fork height up to and including
1 200 mm above ground level.
It is not applicable to low-level order pickers with elevating operator’s position up to and including
1 200 mm lift height which can be equipped with an additional load lifting device having a maximum
lift height of 1 800 mm from ground level.
This part of ISO 3691 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events, as
listed in Annex A, 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 when using trucks on public roads or
when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres.
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.

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).

Introduction
General
This part of ISO 3691 is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations, or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the Scope of this part of ISO 3691.
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 covers safety requirements and their verification for industrial trucks as defined in
ISO 5053-1.
Structure
An important step forward in the work on the ISO 3691 series 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 manufacturer’s instructions will need to draw the user’s attention to
ways shown by experience in which the machinery ought not to be used.
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 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 are 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.

Industrial trucks — Safety requirements and
verification —
Part 3:
Additional requirements for trucks with elevating operator
position and trucks specifically designed to travel with
elevated loads
1 Scope
This part of ISO 3691 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification, additional to those
of ISO 3691-1, for industrial trucks with a vertical, non-tilting mast:
a) those trucks having an elevating operator position, and order-picking trucks, as defined in
ISO 5053-1, where the elevating operator position and the load-handling device lifts to a height of
more than 1 200 mm above ground level;
b) lateral- and front-stacking trucks, as defined in ISO 5053-1, designed to travel with a load-handling
device elevated more than 1 200 mm above ground level, with the load-handling device elevated,
lowered or laterally displaced, laden or unladen, while the truck is travelling.
These trucks are designed to travel indoors on a smooth, level surface (e.g. concrete) and can be guided,
unguided, or both, when in use; they are not intended to tow or push.
This part of ISO 3691 is not applicable to stacker trucks which handle two loads, one on the forks and

4.1 General
The truck shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause.
In addition, the truck shall be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100 for relevant but not
significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this part of ISO 3691.
4.2 Modes of operation when lateral stacking
While the truck is lifting, lowering, or travelling at more than 2,5 km/h, it shall not be possible for any
part of the lateral reach mechanism to intrude into the racking space. When this lateral reach mechanism
is extended, extending or retracting, travelling speed shall be restricted to 2,5 km/h or less.
When a truck is designed for lateral and front stacking, it shall have a device which automatically
prevents:
a) travelling at more than 2,5 km/h when the load handling device is in the forward position;
b) turning of the load-handling device in its forward position with a travelling speed of more than
2,5 km/h.
These requirements do not apply if the load handling device is kept within the truck width (excluding
guidance system).
Guided trucks operating in aisles with a non-mechanical guidance system shall comply with the
automatic steering
