What is PD CEN/TR 1459-6- Safety requirements and verification of variable-reach rough-terrain truck about?  
PD CEN/TR 1459-6 describes the risk assessment methodology followed to determine the Performance Level required (PLr), as defined in EN ISO 13849-1:2008, for specific safety-related parts of control system (SRP/CS) of rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by pr EN 1459-1, EN 1459-2 and EN 1459-3.
Note: PD CEN/TR 1459-6 does not apply to SRP/CS that includes no electrical/electronic components.
Who is PD CEN/TR 1459-6- Safety requirements and verification of variable-reach rough-terrain truck for? 
PD CEN/TR 1459-6 on safety requirements and verification of variable-reach rough-terrain truck is useful for: 
- Truck manufacturers
- Truck operators
- Safety regulatory organizations
- Truck Servicemen
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 1459-6- Safety requirements and verification of variable-reach rough-terrain truck?  
PD CEN/TR 1459-6 has been prepared to explain the rationale used to determine the minimum required Performance Levels for rough terrain variable reach trucks as listed in EN 1459 series.
PD CEN/TR 1459-6 is intended to provide a solid basis to the Performance Level Required (PLr) required for the Safety Related Part of Control System (SRP/CS) referred to in pr EN 1459-1, EN 1459-2, and EN 1459-3. The PLr has been defined by using approaches from appropriate standards for the safety of machinery and proven general principles for design.
The methodology described in PD CEN/TR 1459-6 may be used by other Technical Committees to assess the risk and determine PLr for machines covered by other type C-standards. PD CEN/TR 1459-6 helps to ensure trust in the reliability of the Industrial trucks by demonstrating their safety and effectiveness, and ultimately the protection of the emergency teams who use them.
