This part of ISO 10896 specifes general safety requirements for non-slewing, variable-reach rough-terrain trucks (hereafter known as “trucks”), with an articulated or rigid chassis and equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoting boom) on which a load-handling device such as a carriage with fork arms is typically ftted. Fork arms and other integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the truck. Other standards, in addition to the relevant provisions of this part of ISO 10896, can apply to the attachments.This part of ISO 10896 is not applicable to the following:a) industrial variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 3691-2;b) machines designed primarily for earth-moving, such as loaders, even if their buckets are replaced by fork arms (see ISO 20474);c) trucks designed primarily with variable-length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions (mobile cranes)1);d) trucks ftted with personnel/work platforms, designed to move persons to elevated working positions2;e) trucks designed primarily for container handling.The signifcant hazards covered by this part of ISO 10896 are listed in Annex A. This part of ISO 10896 does not address hazards that can occur- during manufacture,- when handling suspended loads, which may swing freely,- when using trucks on public roads,- when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, or- with a battery, LPG or hybrid as the primary power source.
