Australia 		This enquiry was received from Minnesota....I am currently trying to locate fork lift/lift truck standards from a number of countries around the world. I've found that most of the European standards are EN-1726-1, Australian standard is AS-2359, and the United States is ASME B56. Would you be able to help me in identifying other equivalent standards used by other countries, or recommend a source where I might locate this information. I greatly appreciate any help on this project.

Spain, Spain 		European Standards are EN- 1726-1 and 1726-2. The EN 1726 - 1 is in the way to be review in Brussels.

The lift truck training in Suisse is porposeful by "arrêt U 2003 from TFA Tribunal Federal des Assurances - 24 juny 1994 . In my opinion the Association Suisse de Logistique ASL knows very well more about : www.suva.ch/waswo

In Spain , we follow the european directive traslate by the "Real Decreto 1215 /97" .

Thanks to the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation and their gratis policy! This free use policy will greatly increase safety in the powered industrial truck arena as these standards are now readily available to safety personnel and safety trainers.
