scope:

Deals with the controls and control systems for automated functions of industrial trucks with an operator. The control system is generally part of the truck but can include components external to the truck, eg for the guidance means for automated steering. Deals with the technical requirements to minimise the specific hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of automated functions of trucks when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. In addition, trucks should comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards not covered by this standard or the applicable companion standards.
