NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 22915-13 : 2012 ‘Industrial trucks — Verification of stability — Part 13: Rough-terrain trucks with mast’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Transport Tractors, Trailers and Industrial Trucks Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1992 and subsequently revised in 2003. First revision of this standard was identical with ISO 8379 : 1998. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 22915-13 : 2012.

This standard is published in two parts. The other part in this series is:

Part 2 Rough-terrain variable-reach trucks

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
