scope:

This standard specifies electrical and related mechanical safety requirements for design and construction of the electrical installation in battery powered industrial trucks hereinafter referred to as trucks, with nominal voltages of the truck system up to 240 V. The Annex A is normative and gives requirements for "Connectors for traction batteries". Annex B is normative and contains "Electric motors - Output and test rules" and Annex C is normative and contains "Electromagnetic contactors". The requirements of this standard are applicable, when trucks are operated under the following climatic conditions: - Average ambient temperature for continuous duty: +25°C; - Maximum ambient temperature, short term (up to 1 h): +40°C; - Lowest ambient temperature for trucks intended for use in normal indoor conditions: +5 °C; - Lowest ambient temperature for trucks intended for use in normal outdoor conditions: -20 °C; - Altitude: up to 2000 m; - Relative humidity: in the range 30 % to 95 % (non condensing). This standard covers specific hazards (listed in clause 4), which could occur during the intended use of trucks. For hazards occurring during construction, transportation, commissioning, decommissioning and disposal, reference should be made to EN ISO 12100-2:2003.
