BS EN 1755:2015 applies to self-propelled and pedestrian propelled manual and semi-manual
industrial trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1 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 European Standard 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 European Standard does not include: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 European Standard is not applicable to trucks intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
of carbon disulphide (CS2), carbon monoxide (CO) and/or ethylene oxide (C2H4O) due to the special
properties of these gases.This standard is applicable to trucks intended for use in atmospheres with an ambient temperature range
of - 20 °C to +40 °C, i.e. trucks built in accordance with this European Standard will be satisfactory to any
service conditions within this range unless otherwise specified.NOTE 3 The ambient temperature range -20 °C to +40 °C is in line with EN ISO 3691-1.Cross References:EN 1127-1:2011EN 1149-5EN 1175-1:1998+A1:2010EN 1175-2EN 1175-3EN 1459EN 1525EN 1757-3EN 1834-1:2000EN 1834-3EN 13463-1:2009EN 13463-3EN 13463-5:2011EN 13463-8EN 14986EN 50271EN 60079-0:2012IEC 60079-0:2011EN 60079-7IEC 60079-7EN 60079-14:2014IEC 60079-14:2012EN 60079-15:2010IEC 60079 15:2010EN 60079-17IEC 60079-17EN 60079-29-1:2007IEC 60079-29-1:2007EN 60079-29-2IEC 60079-29-2EN 60079-31IEC 60079-31CLC/TR 60079-32-1EN 60529:1991IEC 60529:1989EN 61508-1IEC 61508-1EN 61508-6IEC 61508-6EN ISO 3691-1ISO 3691-1:2011EN ISO 13849-1ISO 13849-1EN ISO 20344ISO 20344ISO 284ISO 1813ISO 9563ISO 1587094/9/ECEN 1526EN 12053EN 12895EN 13059EN 13237:2012EN 16307-1EN 16307-5EN 16307-6EN 50272-3EN 50495:2010EN 60079-29-3IEC 60079-29-3EN 60079-32-2IEC 60079-32-2EN ISO 3691-5ISO 3691-5EN ISO 3691-6ISO 3691-6EN ISO 12100ISO 12100ISO 5053-1ISO 6292:2008ISO 13564-1ISO 22877:2004ISO/TS 3691-7All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
