As the widely recognized international standard series for electric industrial trucks, EN ISO 3691 sets unified, systematic requirements covering the whole lifecycle of related equipment from R&D design, mass production, daily operation to regular maintenance, which effectively standardizes the development of the global electric material handling equipment industry.
The core clauses of EN ISO 3691 first focus on operation safety specifications, which put forward clear mandatory indicators for multiple key systems of electric industrial trucks. For the braking system, the standard defines the maximum allowed response distance under different load and driving speed conditions to ensure the truck can stop stably in emergency scenarios. For load stability, the standard sets strict calibration rules for the maximum safe load limit under different lifting heights and driving slopes, to avoid rollover or cargo falling risks during normal operation. It also puts forward clear requirements for the protection of operating parts such as emergency power off switches, operator safety guard structures and visual field design, to reduce unnecessary safety hazards for on-site operators.
In addition to safety performance requirements, EN ISO 3691 also includes standardized provisions for energy efficiency and environmental performance of electric industrial trucks. The standard regulates the allowable error range of battery endurance calibration, the temperature control threshold of battery thermal management system, and the recyclable proportion of equipment components, which effectively avoids problems such as false marking of energy consumption and non-compliant discharge of harmful substances. These provisions also help related enterprises reduce the comprehensive operation cost of material handling links while meeting relevant environmental protection requirements.
The EN ISO 3691 series standards also give clear guidance for the daily use and maintenance of electric industrial trucks. It specifies the recommended regular safety inspection cycle, the calibration standard for vulnerable parts replacement, and the core assessment points for operator pre-job training. Enterprises that strictly follow these guidance arrangements can effectively extend the service life of electric industrial trucks and reduce the occurrence rate of operation safety accidents.
