DIN EN ISO 3691-6:2014-06

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with these requirements. This part of ISO 3691 gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for self-propelled carriers designed for carrying burdens without lifting, as defined in ISO 5053, and/or personnel carriers, having three or more wheels, a maximum speed not exceeding 56 km/h and a load capacity not exceeding 5 000 kg (hereafter referred to as carriers or trucks). This part of ISO 3691 is applicable to trucks equipped with a platform (which can be tilting) for the purpose of carrying materials or with a number of seats for the purpose of transporting passengers. This standard is not applicable to: - vehicles intended primarily for earth-moving or over-the-road hauling, - driverless trucks, - golf cars, - tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20 000 N equipped with a platform for the purpose of carrying materials. It contains the German version of EN ISO 3691-6:2013, which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110/SC 2 "Safety of powered industrial trucks", in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 150 "Industrial trucks - Safety" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests during the preparation were represented by Committee NA 060-22-42 AA "Sicherheit von Flurförderzeugen" ("Safety for industrial trucks") at Technical Section "Fördertechnik" ("Conveying technology") of the Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of the manufacturers and users of industrial trucks, and of the employers' liability insurance associations were involved in the preparation.
