This part of ISO3691 is applicable to trucks equipped with a platform (which can be tilting) for the purpose of carrying materials or with a number of seats for the purpose of transporting passengers. It is not applicable to vehicles intended primarily for earth-moving or over-the-road hauling, driverless trucks, golf cars, tractors with a drawbar pull up to and including 20000N equipped with a platform for the purpose of carrying materials. This part of ISO3691 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, as listed in AnnexA, relevant to the applicable machines when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It does not establish requirements for hazards that can occur when using trucks on public roads or when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres.
