ICS 53 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 2798 standards classified under ICS 53 (MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

— bridge cranes, gantry cranes and wall cranes travelling on fixed runways;
— fixed machines that cause a harmonic dynamic loading on fixed supporting structures.
(4) The principles provided in EN 1991-3 can be applied also to determine actions on supporting structures of cranes other than those referred to in (3).
(5) EN 1991-3 does not provide partial factors for actions.
NOTE For partial factors for actions, see EN 1990-1:2023+A1:2026, Clause A.5.
(6) EN 1991-3 does not provide actions or provisions for the design of cranes and machines.

This document establishes the minimum performance requirements and tests for seat-belt assemblies and seat-belt anchorages on earth-moving machinery, necessary to restrain an occupant within a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) in the event of a machine roll-over (see ISO 3471:2008, ISO 12117-2:2008/Amd 1:2016, and ISO 13459:2012/Amd 1:2022), or within a tip-over protection structure (TOPS) in the event of a machine tip-over (see ISO 12117:1997).
This document is not applicable to seat-belt assemblies and seat-belt anchorages manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document specifies the electrical requirements for the design and construction of the electrical installation in self-propelled industrial trucks that are within the scope of ISO 5053-1:2020, except rough-terrain variable-reach trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020, 3.21 and 3.22, straddle carriers as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020, 3.18 and 3.19, and all those functions utilized for the automatic operation of driverless industrial trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020, 3.32. It provides the electrical/electronic and safety-related parts of control system requirements for those self-propelled industrial trucks identified above.
NOTE 1 For detailed information about the electrical/electronic requirements for driverless trucks see EN ISO 3691-4:2023, 4.1.3.
NOTE 2 Reference is made to this document in other standards which cover the non-electrical requirements of the various industrial truck types.
This document deals with safety requirements for all electrical and electronic components of industrial trucks, including electrically actuated hydraulic/pneumatic valves. It specifies minimum performance levels required for safety functions realized by safety related parts of control systems. It is intended to be used to avoid or minimize hazards or hazardous situations listed in Annex I. These situations can arise during the operation in the area of use for which it is designed and during maintenance of trucks in accordance with the specifications and instruction given by the manufacturer.
This document does not deal with hazards which could occur:
- during construction;
- when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;
- because of malfunction of non-electric safety-related parts of control systems, e.g. hydraulic and pneumatic elements like pistons, non-electric valves, pumps, etc.;
- when operating outside the range of 30 % to 95 % (not condensing) of relative humidity.
NOTE 3 The level of the defined required performance for electrical safety related control systems can be used as a guideline to determine the performance of non-electric systems.
NOTE 4 Hazards due to penetration of water and dust are covered by the definition of PLr of safety functions, according to EN ISO 13849-1:2023.
NOTE 5 Safety measures outside the scope of the electrical/electronic system are covered by other safety standards e.g. EN ISO 3691 series and EN 16307 series.

This document specifies the minimum technical information that the manufacturer of earth moving machinery and the manufacturer of interchangeable equipment are required to make available in their instruction handbook.
It is applicable to the combination of earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment covered by the intended use of each of the products, where the respective manufacturers do not identify in the instruction handbook specific models of interchangeable equipment or compatible host machines for coupling.
It gives guidelines in order to define the essential characteristics of interchangeable equipment and host machine for their safe coupling considering the following significant hazards or hazardous situations:
• a loss of longitudinal or lateral stability;
• exceeding maximum dimensions;
• errors of fitting;
• access (egress) to (from) operating position(s);
There are cases where specific technical or operational needs may require different approaches, so the information given by the manufacturer of the host machine and/or the manufacturer of the interchangeable equipment may differ from that set out in this document. In these cases, this document does not apply and the analysis of the risks created by the coupling of the host machine and interchangeable equipment shall be carried out by the manufacturer of the interchangeable equipment or by who makes the combined machinery.
The road circulation of the coupled host machine and interchangeable equipment on public roads and the resulting prescriptions are not subject to this document.
It does not cover the design and/or performance requirements for the engagement and locking of interchangeable equipment to the host machine, which is the subject of other European and International standards.
This document does neither deal with lifting persons with earth moving machinery nor with any interchangeable equipment mounted to it.
This document is not applicable to earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment manufactured before the date of its publication.
