<p>This document specifies safety requirements and the means for their verification for driverless industrial trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks) and their systems. </p> <p>Examples of driverless industrial trucks (trucks of ISO 5053-1) can also be known as: "automated guided vehicle", "autonomous mobile robot", "bots", "automated guided cart", "tunnel tugger", "under cart", etc.</p> <p>This document also contains requirements for driverless industrial trucks which are provided with:</p> <p>— automatic modes which either require operators' action(s) to initiate or enable such automatic operations;</p> <p>— the capability to transport one or more riders (which are neither considered as drivers nor as operators);</p> <p>— additional manual modes which allow operators to operate the truck manually; or</p> <p>— a maintenance mode which allows manual operation of truck functions for maintenance reasons.</p> <p>It is not applicable to trucks solely guided by mechanical means (rails, guides, etc.) or to remotely controlled trucks, which are not considered to be driverless trucks.</p> <p>For the purposes of this document, a driverless industrial truck is a powered truck, which is designed to operate automatically. A driverless truck system comprises the control system, which can be part of the truck and/or separate from it, guidance means and power system. Requirements for power sources are not covered in this document.</p> <p>The condition of the operating zone has a significant effect on the safe operation of the driverless industrial truck. The preparations of the operating zone to eliminate the associated hazards are specified in Annex A.</p> <p>This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events during all phases of the life of the truck (ISO 12100:2010, 5.4), as listed in Annex B, relevant to the applicable machines when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.</p> <p>It does not give requirements for additional hazards that can occur:</p> <p>— during operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields);</p> <p>— during operation in nuclear environments;</p> <p>— from trucks intended to operate in public zones (in particular ISO 13482);</p> <p>— during operation on a public road;</p> <p>— during operation in potentially explosive environments;</p> <p>— during operation in military applications;</p> <p>— during operation with specific hygienic requirements;</p> <p>— during operation in ionizing radiation environments;</p> <p>— during the transportation of (a) person(s) other than (the) intended rider(s);</p> <p>— when handling loads the nature of which can lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials);</p> <p>— for rider positions with elevation function higher than 1 200 mm from the floor/ground to the platform floor.</p> <p>This document does not contain safety requirements for trailer(s) being towed behind a truck.</p> <p>This document does not contain safety requirements for elevated operator trucks.</p> <p>This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.</p>
