This document specifies the tests for the verification of restraint systems against the risk of lateral ejection of the operator for:

- tractors as defined in EN 12312-15 (airport ground equipment);

- burden carriers (as defined in ISO 5053-1:2015, 3.25) with a maximum speed of more than 25 km/h with seated operator;

- other types of industrial trucks equipped with such a restraint system.

Counterblanced lift trucks, tractors and burden carriers are named hereafter as trucks.

NOTE 1 Industrial tractors as defined in ISO 5053-1¹ do not need a restraint system in general.

This document describes type tests for a specific combination of truck and restraint system.

This standard does not cover:

- the risk due to frontal ejection;

- the monitoring of the protective position of the operator restraint system as defined in EN 16307-1:-², 4.16;

- the testing of seat belts.
