What is ISO 22915-17 about?  
The truck to be tested shall reflect its operating weight and shall include all options and accessory items approved by the truck manufacturer which, when installed, will decrease the stability of the truck. Personnel carriers shall be tested in the conditions of least stability with respect to the number and location of passengers. If provided, seats shall be adjusted to the mid-point adjustment position of seats in each test.
ISO 22915-17 specifies the tests for verifying the stability of towing tractors, burden, and personnel carriers as defined in ISO 50531. ISO 22915-17 specifies the tests for verifying the stability of Towing tractors, burden, and personnel carriers, equipped with load-handling attachments.
Who is ISO 22915-17 for? 
ISO 22915-17 on verification of stability of trucks is useful for: 
- Industrial Truck manufacturers 
- Industrial Truck operator 
- Safety regulatory bodies 
- Industrial truck servicemen 
 Why should you use ISO 22915-17?  
 Operating a towing tractor, burden, and personnel carriers require not only an understanding of the controls to drive them but also the possible hazards of the workplace surroundings. Operators also need to understand the importance of load stability. 
The truck stability test in ISO 22915-17 helps the operator to stack goods correctly and evenly, avoiding damage to goods and racking. By conducting stability verification specified in ISO 22915-17, the manufacturers can demonstrate the safety and stability of their industrial trucks increasing the operator’s confidence and ultimately reducing the probability of hazardous situations. The stability of these trucks shall be verified by means of the procedures specified in ISO 22915-17.
