Overview

This standard applies to body structures on trucks and trailers. It includes test procedures and the specification and certification of reinforced body strength, which makes it possible to absorb some of the load securing forces. The necessity of additional load securing measures depends on the respective load and the type of body and shall be checked in each specific case by the carrier, freight forwarder or driver. This standard specifies basic minimum requirements for standard vehicle bodies (side walls, front and rear walls) and for reinforced vehicle bodies and specifies appropriate tests. Forces applied according to the test requirements described can be invoked for load securing purposes. The vehicle floor is not part of the chassis. This document does not apply to vans according to ISO 27956.
