Iso 3691-4 Pdf -

ISO 3691-4:2023 is the definitive international safety standard for driverless industrial trucks, a category that includes Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and automated forklifts. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this "Type C" standard provides manufacturers and operators with a rigorous framework for risk assessment, safety-related control systems, and operational validation in shared human-robot environments. Scope and Applicability

: Covers the truck itself, its onboard or remote control system, guidance means, and load-handling attachments. Excluded Systems Iso 3691-4 Pdf

Critical Note: If your vehicle is manually driven (even occasionally), ISO 3691-1 applies. If it is driverless, ISO 3691-4 is mandatory. Safety lifecycle and management

Electro-sensitive Protective Equipment (ESPE): Laser scanners that create 2D safety fields. The truck must stop if a human leg enters the inner zone.
Bumpers (Mechanical): For speeds above a certain threshold, the truck must have a physical bumper that triggers a stop upon contact.

Safety lifecycle and management

Emphasizes a safety lifecycle approach: concept → design → implementation → validation/commissioning → operation/maintenance → modification/decommissioning.
Requires traceable records of hazard analyses, design decisions, test results, and maintenance/inspection logs.
Change control procedures and re-evaluation after modifications are necessary.

Improved safety: By specifying safety requirements, the standard helps reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
Increased efficiency: By standardizing safety features, the standard helps reduce the complexity of industrial truck design and operation.
Compliance with regulations: The standard helps manufacturers and users comply with relevant regulations and laws.

Physical Protection: Must include pressure-sensitive bumpers to detect physical contact. 2. Braking and Speed Control Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
