Regional requirements, additional to the requirements given in this part of ISO 3691, are addressed in ISO/TS 3691-7:2011 and ISO/TS 3691-8. For the purposes of global relevance, all requirements of clauses referring to ISO/TS 3691-7 have been transferred and published as European Standard EN 16307-1, Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 1: Supplementary requirements for self-propelled industrial trucks, other than driverless trucks, variable-reach trucks and burden-carrier trucks. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of 2006/42/EC.
