Full title and description

Industrial trucks — Safety requirements and verification — Part 7: Regional requirements for countries within the European Community. This Technical Specification provides region‑specific requirements intended to be used together with the other parts of the ISO 3691 series to address safety and verification of industrial trucks in the EC/EEA context.

Abstract

ISO/TS 3691-7:2011 specifies regional requirements specific to countries within the European Community (EC) and the European Economic Area (EEA) for the types of industrial trucks covered by ISO 3691‑1 through ISO 3691‑6. It is intended to be applied in conjunction with those parts of ISO 3691 to ensure that global safety requirements are adapted where necessary for European regional legislation and practice.

Scope

Provides regional supplemental requirements for the countries of the European Community and European Economic Area for the classes of industrial trucks covered by ISO 3691‑1 (self‑propelled industrial trucks other than driverless/variable‑reach/burden‑carrier trucks), ISO 3691‑2, ISO 3691‑3, ISO 3691‑4, ISO 3691‑5 and ISO 3691‑6. The Technical Specification is not a standalone replacement for those parts but supplies regionally relevant additions, clarifications or modifications to be used alongside them.

Key topics and requirements

• Regional (EC/EEA) modifications and supplemental requirements to the general ISO 3691 safety rules.
• Guidance on harmonizing ISO safety provisions with applicable European legislation and normative practice.
• References and cross‑references to other parts of ISO 3691 (Parts 1–6) to ensure consistent application.
• Requirements intended to aid manufacturers, conformity assessors and testing bodies when assessing industrial trucks for use or placement on the market within EC/EEA.

Typical use and users

Used by industrial truck manufacturers, technical authors, product safety engineers, conformity assessment bodies, testing laboratories, national standards organizations and regulatory authorities operating in or supplying equipment to the EC/EEA market. It is referenced when applying the ISO 3691 series in a European regional context and when reconciling international requirements with regional legal/regulatory expectations.
