Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance
etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document
by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the
drafting process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous
events are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or
type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements
of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the
requirements of this type-C standard.
All quantities are in metric units.
Tools
Being excluded from interchangeable equipment according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as amended)
Article 2 b), tools as such are not subject to the Machinery Directive. Characteristics of tools which
may be fitted to the machinery can be found in the instructions for use given by the truck
manufacturer according to 1.7.4.2 (n) Directive 2006/42/EC.
Interchangeable equipment
An interchangeable equipment is not part of the truck, according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as
amended) Article 2 b), because it is assembled with the truck by the operator himself in order to
change its function or attribute a new function. The instructions for machinery allow several uses
intended by design depending on the equipment used and the instructions for the interchangeable
equipment contain the information necessary for safe assembly and use of the basic machinery and
the interchangeable equipment that can be fitted (see Directive 2006/42/EC, 3.6.3.2).
The following items should be taken into account:
a) identification of a specific point on the truck for the installation of the interchangeable
equipment, i.e. truck-related side of the interface (hereafter referred to as “interface”): the
carriage;
b) interface safety-related design and coupling performances:
4
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 1459-5:2021
EN 1459-5:2020 (E)
— avoidance of unintentional displacements: locking (normal operation condition and truck
power supply failure condition);
— strength requirements: calculation and static and dynamic test;
— controls;
— information.
c) interchangeable equipment compatibility in order to be installable on the truck, i.e. choice of
approved types of interchangeable equipment, correct usage in combination with the truck,
minimum safety requirements.
Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC states that “The manufacturer of the
interchangeable equipment must ensure that the combination of the interchangeable equipment
and the basic machinery with which it is intended to be assembled fulfils all the relevant essential
health and safety requirements of Annex I and must carry out the appropriate conformity
assessment procedure”.
This document considers primary function of the truck the load handling, stacking and lifting
function, e.g. with forks.

4.2 Unintentional detachment
The interface shall be designed such that unintentional detachment of the attachment is
prevented, according to 4.7.
Verification by design check.
The interface shall be provided with means to prevent the separation of the attachment in the
event of malfunctions in the truck power supply.
Verification by design check.
4.3 Unintended movement of the attachment
Interface shall be designed such that any movement of the attachment shall not occur when the
relevant control devices on the truck are in the neutral position.
Verification by design check.
4.4 Load-clamping attachment interface
The interface shall allow load-clamping attachment to reach its nominal clamping force and to
maintain it when the relevant control devices on the truck are in their neutral position.
To prevent unintentional release of the load, the opening movement of a load-carrying clamp
operated from the truck shall:
a) be possible only with a two-action control or positioned and/or guarded in order to avoid
inadvertent activation, and
b) not be automatically activated when the truck is switched on.
Verification by design check.
In case of failure of power supply or engine shut down, the interface shall allow the rated load of
the load-clamping attachment to remain clamped.
Verification by design check.
4.5 Interface hydraulic system
If the interface has a hydraulic system, it shall comply with the relevant requirements of
EN 1459-1 and EN 1459-2.
4.6 Design
The attachment interface of the truck shall be designed for the most severe forces deriving from
truck configuration and load combination expected for the intended use of the truck.
NOTE EN 13001-3-1 provides guidance for calculation.
Verification by design check and calculation.
4.7 Mechanical connection of the attachment to the carriage
4.7.1 General
Means shall be provided to pick-up, fasten and lock the attachment to the structural part of the
interface which the attachment is mechanically assembled to.
NOTE Fastening and locking may be obtained by just one device, depending on its design.

4.7.2 Fastening and locking
The means according to 4.7.1 shall meet the following requirements:
— The fastening system and the locking system shall hold the attachment in the working
position described in the information for use of the truck.
Verification by type test.
— The locking system shall prevent unintended unfastening of the attachment:
— in the case of a fastener put in place manually, the fastener should be locked mechanically
(e.g. a pin);
— in the case of a powered fastener operated through a control at the operator station, the
fastener shall be held in the position which ensures the permanent linkage between the
attachment and the carriage including the case of energy failure.
Verification by type test.
— It shall be possible to verify (e.g. by automatic sensing, visual indication in the cab, direct
vision) from the primary operator
