ISO 22915-1:2016 (R2021)

ISO 22915-1:2016 series deals with the safety of industrial trucks, as defined in ISO 5053-1, relative to their stability and the verification of that stability. For the purposes of ISO 22915, industrial trucks are wheeled, self-propelled, or pedestrian-propelled vehicles excepting those running on rails. They are either operator-controlled or driverless, and are designed to carry, tow, push, lift, stack or tier in racks. ISO 22915-1:2016 specifies basic test criteria and requirements for verifying the stability of industrial trucks, hereafter referred to as trucks. It applies to the following truck types and special conditions: a) counterbalanced trucks with mast as specified in ISO 22915-2; b) reach and straddle trucks as specified in ISO 22915-3; c) pallet stackers, double stackers, and order-picking trucks with operator position elevating up to and including 1 200 mm lift height as specified in ISO 22915-4; d) single-side-loading trucks as specified in ISO 22915-5; e) bidirectional and multidirectional trucks as specified in ISO 22915-7; f) additional stability test for trucks operating in special conditions of stacking with the mast tilted forward as specified in ISO 22915-8; g) counterbalanced trucks with mast handling freight containers of 6 m (20 ft) length and longer as specified in ISO 22915-9; h) additional stability test for trucks operating in special conditions with the load substantially laterally displaced by powered devices as specified in ISO 22915-10; i) industrial variable-reach trucks as specified in ISO 22915-11; j) industrial variable-reach trucks handling freight containers of 6 m (20 ft) length and longer as specified in ISO 22915-12; k) rough-terrain variable-reach trucks as specified in ISO 22915-14; l) counterbalanced trucks with articulated steering as specified in ISO 22915-15; m) pedestrian-propelled trucks as specified in ISO 22915-16; n) additional stability test for trucks operating in the special condition of offset load, offset determined by utilization as specified in ISO 22915-20; o) order-picking trucks with operator position elevating above 1 200 mm as specified in ISO 22915-21. It also applies to trucks operating under the same conditions when equipped with load-handling attachments. ISO 22915-1:2016 does not apply to the following: - trucks handling suspended loads which may swing freely; - low-lift trucks with lift height up to and including 500 mm.
