27、 Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 292-1. This standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated
28、 in the scope of this standard. In addition, driverless industrial trucks (hereinafter referred to as“trucks”) and their systems should comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards which are not covered by this standard. 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard applies to all trucks and their systems exc
29、ept: a) trucks solely guided by mechanical means (rails, guides, etc.); b) trucks operating in areas open to persons unaware of the hazards. 1.2 For the purposes of this European Standard, a driverless industrial truck is a powered vehicle, including any trailers, designed to travel automatically in
30、 which the safety of operation does not depend on an operator. Remote controlled trucks are not considered driverless trucks. 1.3 For the purposes of this European Standard, a system comprises the control system, which may be part of the truck and/or separate from it, the guidance means and the batt
31、ery charging system. 1.4 This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of trucks in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorized representat
32、ive. In addition, trucks should comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards not covered by this standard or the applicable companion standards. 1.5 This European Standard covers specific hazards related to the automated functions of trucks and their systems listed in clause 4. This standard must b
33、e used in conjunction with one or more of the applicable companion standards listed in the foreword. 1.6 The provision of a portable control unit does not classify the truck as a pedestrian controlled truck. 1.7 The environment of trucks can have a significant effect on their safe operation. Annex A
34、 establishes requirements for the preparation of the environment to eliminate the associated hazards. For the person responsible for the integration of the trucks into the workplace,Annex A is normative. 1.8 This European Standard does not establish the following additional requirements for: a) oper
35、ation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields); b) operation in environments subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres); c) electromagnetic compatibility; d) transportation of passengers; e) handling of loads the nature of whic
36、h could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials); f) parts of trucks requiring manual intervention during operation. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normati
