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.
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).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www​.iso​.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

It is intended to be used in conjunction4323223508c5/iso-ts-3691-8-2019
with ISO 3691-1, ISO 3691-2, ISO 3691-3, ISO 3691-4 and
ISO 3691-6.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 3691-8:2012), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— changes to the Australian requirements in relation to electrical requirements, fork arms, operator
restraints, electromagnetic compatibility, platforms equipped with fall protection, lift chains, fork
arms, platforms, operator protection and noise emission;
— changes to the North American requirements in relation to fork arms.
A list of all parts in the ISO 3691 series can be found on the ISO website.

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 document and by ISO/TS 3691-7.
ISO/TS 3691-7 addresses the 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.
This document 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.

4.1.2 Travel speed

4.1.2.1 Pedestrian-controlled trucks

— For North America, the maximum speed shall meet the requirements of ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 applicable
at the time of manufacture.
— For all other regions, the maximum speed shall not exceed 6 km/h.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.2.3.1.

4.1.2.2 Stand-on trucks and pedestrian-controlled trucks with foldable platform

— For North America, the maximum speed shall meet the requirements of ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 applicable
at the time of manufacture.
— For all other regions, the maximum speed shall not exceed 16 km/h.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.2.3.2.

4.1.2.3 Travelling with mast elevated

For Australia, the following applies to electric counterbalanced trucks and reach trucks when travelling
with the mast elevated.

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW

The truck speed shall be reduced to a maximum speed of 3 km/h when:
— the mast is above staging for(standards.iteh.ai)
trucks with a mast with full free lift;
— the forks are lifted more than 800 mm from the ground for trucks with a mast with limited free lift.
ISO/TS 3691-8:2019
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/20a104bf-75fe-45fc-9eba-
4.1.3 Brakes 4323223508c5/iso-ts-3691-8-2019
For Japan, the following applies to brakes.
— At 20 km/h travel speed (if maximum speed is less than 20 km/h, at the maximum speed of the
truck), unladen trucks shall stop within 5 m.
— At 10 km/h travel speed (if maximum speed less than 10 km/h, at the maximum speed of the truck),
laden trucks shall stop within 2,5 m.
— The parking brake, without the assistance of operator, shall be capable of holding the truck on the
following gradients:
1) for unladen trucks, 20 %;
2) for laden trucks, 15 %.
See ISO 3691-1:2011, 4.3.1.

4.1.4 Additional operation from alongside pedestrian-controlled and stand-on trucks

(coasting)

— For Australia:
Low-lift order-picker trucks may be provided with a coasting system which cuts off current to the
drive motor but which does not apply the brake when the travel control device is released. Means
to apply the brake and activate the truck's warning device shall be readily operable while walking
alongside the truck. The speed with this system shall not exceed 4 km/h whenever the coasting
system is activated. Activation of the travel control device from outside of the truck shall only be
possible when the truck is stationary.
