The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standa
24、rd. Where there are provisions of this type-C standard which are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, but only for machines that have been designed and built in accordance wi
25、th the provisions of this type-C standard. The purpose of this standard is to address the operators visibility in such a manner that the operator can see around the rough-terrain variable reach truck to enable proper, effective and safe operation that can be quantified in objective engineering terms
26、. This standard includes a test method that uses two lights placed at the location of the operators eyes. The masking due to the truck, its components and attachments and a standard test load are determined around the truck, starting at a boundary line 1 m away from the smallest rectangle that encom
27、passes the truck out to the visibility test circle. The radius of the circle is 12 m. The method used does not capture all of the aspects of the operators visibility, but provides information to assist in determining the acceptability of visibility from the truck. Criteria are included in this stand
28、ard to provide guidance for designers as to the extent of visibility masking that are acceptable. Due to the operators capability and the operation mode of the truck, the test method divides the area around the truck into six sectors: the front (sector A), to the front sides (sectors B and C), to th
29、e rear sides (sectors D and E), and to the rear (sector F). For each of the sectors, the operator has physical characteristics that are considered. Besides the eye spacing of 65 mm (the nominal binocular eye spacing of the 50th percentile operator), additional adjustments (up to the limits specified
30、 in Tables 2 and 3) can be made considering that the operator has the capability to turn the head and move the body torso side to side. The eye spacings used are less than the maximum permitted values based on the ergonomics of the operator. This is done to maintain the current state-of-the-art of t
31、rucks. Standard test loads are carried on or suspended from, devices on the truck during the visibility tests. They are intended to be dimensionally representative of typical loads carried by rough-terrain variable reach trucks and are used to determine their masking effects and to define representa
32、tive boom geometry of the truck in normal uses. The established visibility performance criteria are based on the physical aspects of the human operators and ground personnel using various representative dimensions and the design of trucks that have provided acceptable visibility. To establish the vi
33、sibility criteria, a combination of the eye spacings and masking widths are used. Multiple masking in sectors are acceptable where there is adequate spacing between the individual masking. Where the direct visibility is considered inadequate, additional devices for indirect visibility mirrors or clo
34、sed circuit television cameras (CCTV), can be used to achieve acceptable visibility. For the rectangular 1 m boundary (RB) additional devices for indirect visibility (mirrors or CCTV) are preferred. Other aids (see ISO 16001) can be used exceptionally. BS EN 15830:2012EN 15830:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope Thi
35、s European Standard applies to rough-terrain variable reach trucks (herein-after referred to as trucks) that have a specific seated operators position, on the left hand side of the boom, or centre position (excluding operator position on the right side of the boom). This European Standard specifies
36、a static test method for determining and evaluating the operators visibility on a rectangular 1 m boundary close around the rough-terrain variable reach truck and on a 12 m visibility test circle. Performance requirements for visibility are specified in this standard. This European Standard does not
37、 apply to rough-terrain variable reach trucks designed to handle freight containers (rough-terrain reach stackers). It applies to trucks for operation on work sites. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable
