Industry Standards
Indian Standards For Automotive Released In 2017-18 — R.R. Singh, Head, Transport Engineering Department, Bureau of Indian Standards Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), specifies verification of stability of single the national standards body of India is side loading trucks. This test method engaged in the process of formulation standard is relevant for ensuring safety of national standards with active of industrial trucks. Max load and max. involvement of relevant stake holders. height of lifting has been specified in the BIS has brought out more than 19000 standard in order to prevent overturning standards till date. These standards of trucks on flat as well as on slopes. Proper include standards on products, methods implementation of this standard will be of tests, code of practices, management useful in prevention of accidents during systems etc. Transport Engineering material handling in manufacturing units Department of BIS is a dedicated such as Automobiles and warehouses, Department for formulation of godowns, stores etc. Potential users of this Standards related to Automotive Sector. standard are manufacturers of industrial TED of BIS has brought out following and forklift trucks and test agencies such Standards related to Automotive Sector as ARAI,CIRT,GARC,ICAT etc who are engaged in testing of pallet stackers. in 2017-2018. IS 7631/ ISO 22915-4 : 2009 : Industrial Trucks–Pallet Stackers, Double Stackers and Order Picking Trucks with operator Position Elevating up to and including 1 200 mm Lift Height – Verification of Stability (Second Revision) This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 22915-4:2009. This standard specifies verification of stability of Pallet Stackers, Double Stackers and Order Picking Trucks with operator position elevating up to and including 1 200 mm lift height. This test method standard is relevant for ensuring safety of industrial trucks. Max load and max. height of lifting has been specified in the standard in order to prevent overturning of trucks on flat as well as on slopes. Proper implementation of this standard will be useful in prevention of accidents during material handling in manufacturing units such as Automobiles OEMs and warehouses, godowns, stores etc. Potential users of this standard are manufacturers of industrial and forklift trucks and test agencies such as ARAI, CIRT, GARC, ICAT etc who are engaged in testing of pallet stackers. IS 15611 (Part 1)/ ISO 22915-5 : 2014 Industrial Trucks – Single Side Loading Trucks – Verification of Stability ( First Revision) This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 22915-5:2014. This standard PG.26 | Smart Automotive | Nov - Dec 2018
IS 10766/ ISO 3842 : 2006 : Road Vehicles – Fifth Wheels – Interchangeabilty ( Second Revision). This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 3842:2006. This standard lays down the dimensional characteristics necessary for mounting and interchangeability of the fifth wheel mounted on plate or directly on frame. Fifth wheel is an interchangeable flexible coupling used between tractor and trailer. This standard lays down the dimensional characteristics necessary for mounting and interchangeability of the fifth wheel. This standard is useful for the manufacturers of Industrial Tractors and Trailers. Potential users of this standard are Industrial trucks and trailers are manufacturing units of all types, logistics companies, ware houses, godowns and large departmental stores. Proper implementation of this standard will be quite useful for manufacturers of fifth wheel and test agencies such as ARAI, CIRT, GARC, ICAT etc IS 13302 (Part 2) :2018/ ISO 22915-14 : 2010 : Industrial Trucks – Verification of Stability Part 2 Rough-Terrain Variable – Reach Trucks (Second Revision) This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 22915-14:2010. This standard specifies tests for verifying the stability of rough-terrain variable reach trucks, equipped with fork arms or with
load carrying or non-load carrying attachments. It is not applicable to those trucks designed for handling freight containers or for lifting people or suspended loads. This test method standard is relevant for ensuring safety of industrial trucks by ensuring its stability. Verification of stability tests according to this standard helps to prevent overturning of trucks on flat surfaces as well as on slopes. Proper implementation of this standard will be useful in prevention of accidents during material handling in manufacturing units such as Automobiles OEMs, warehouses, godowns, stores, ports ,yards and container depots etc. Potential users of this standard are manufacturers of industrial and forklift trucks and test agencies such as ARAI, CIRT, GARC, ICAT etc who are engaged in testing of industrial trucks. IS 13302 (Part 1) :2018/ ISO 22915-13 : 2012 : Industrial Trucks – Verification of Stability Part 2 Rough-Terrain Trucks with Mast (Second Revision) This standard is an identical adoption of ISO 22915-13 : 2012. This standard specifies the tests for verifying the stability of rough-terrain counterbalanced trucks with mast, equipped with fork arms or with load handling attachments with a rated load up to and including 10 000 kg. It is not applicable to those trucks designed for handling freight containers. This test method standard is relevant for ensuring safety of industrial trucks by ensuring its stability. Verification of stability tests according to this standard helps to prevent overturning of trucks on flat surfaces as well as on slopes. Proper implementation of this standard will be useful in prevention of accidents during material handling in manufacturing units such as Automobiles OEMs and warehouses, godowns, stores, ports ,yards and container depots etc. Potential users of this standard are manufacturers of industrial and forklift trucks and test agencies such as ARAI, www.telematicswire.net
