DIN EN 16307-1:2013-04

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Communities, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called presumption of conformity). This document is based on ISO/TS 3691-7 "Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 7: Regional requirements for countries within the European Community" and is applicable to self-propelled industrial trucks. This document is to be used with EN ISO 3691-1:2012 "Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 1: Self-propelled industrial trucks, other than driverless trucks, variable-reach trucks and burden-carrier trucks". It contains the German version of EN 16307-1:2013, which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150 "Industrial trucks - Safety" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests during the preparation were represented by Committee NA 060-22-42 AA "Sicherheit von Flurförderzeugen" ("Safety for industrial trucks") in Technical Section "Fördertechnik" ("Conveying technology") of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of the manufacturers and users of industrial trucks, and of the employers' liability insurance associations were involved in the preparation.
