Scope

This document is applicable to self-propelled and pedestrian propelled manual
and semi-manual industrial trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020 including their
load handling devices and attachments (hereafter referred to as trucks)
intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
NOTE 1 Attachments mounted on the load carrier or on fork arms which are
removable by the user are not considered to be a part of the truck.
This document specifies supplementary technical requirements for the prevention
of the ignition of an explosive atmosphere of flammable gases, vapours, mists
or dusts by industrial trucks of equipment group II and equipment category 2G,
3G, 2D or 3D.
NOTE 2 The relationship between an equipment category (hereafter referred to as
category) and the corresponding zone (area classification) is shown in
informative Annex B.
This document does not apply to:
- trucks of equipment group I;
- trucks of equipment group II, equipment category 1;
- trucks intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres with hybrid
mixtures;
- protective systems.
This document does not apply to trucks intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres of carbon disulfide (CS2), carbon monoxide (CO) and/or
ethylene oxide (C2H4O) due to the special properties of these gases.
Technical requirements relating to lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells as
energy sources are not given in this document due to their specific hazards.
