Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.

NOTE Further parts of the EN 16842 series for specific truck types under the general scope of EN ISO 3691-1
are under development, see the EN 16842 series.
4.11 Reduction of noise by design
4.11.1 General
Industrial trucks shall be designed and constructed such that risks resulting from the emission of
airborne noise are reduced according the state of the art.
When noise is a significant hazard, there is need for a low-noise design. In this case, the methodology for
low-noise design given in EN ISO 11688-1:2009 shall be considered.
NOTE 1 EN ISO 11688-2:2000 gives useful information on noise generation mechanisms in machinery.
NOTE 2 Usually, noise is not a significant hazard for battery-powered trucks.
4.11.2 Main source of noise
On industrial trucks, the main sources of noise are components, such as the following, in a high-speed
operation mode:
— combustion engines, including air intake, cooling fan and exhaust system;
— hydraulic pumps/motors.
4.11.3 Measures to reduce noise at the operator’s position
Typical measures to reduce noise include:
— selection of low-noise components;
— use of elastic mountings that prevent the transmission of structure born noise from the components
to the structures;
— the use of improved noise insulation in the cabin, if fitted.
These and other measures of identical or better efficiency may be used.
4.11.4 Determination of noise emission values
The value of noise emission shall be measured using the test method given in EN 12053:2001+A1:2008.
4.12 Vibration
Whole body vibration shall be measured using the test method given in EN 13059:2002+A1:2008.
4.13 Operator restraint system
4.13.1 General
The requirements of prEN ISO 3691-1:2025, 4.7.7 shall apply except the reference to ISO/TS 3691-8 and
with the following modification:
When the truck is equipped with an operator restraint system as required in prEN ISO 3691-1:2025,
4.7.7, the engagement of the system shall be monitored when the truck is switched-on and in drive mode.
If the operator restraint system is not engaged (e.g. seat belt not buckled, door bar or cabin door no
...
