The AGVs covered by this Outline includeIndustrial Truck AGVs (inherently load bearing), load bear

14、ing service AGVs, and non-load bearing serviceAGVs, as defined within this outline. Industrial truck AGVs are intended to be used in accordance with 1.2and all AGVs shall be used in accordance with 1.3. The AGV is battery powered using either lead acidbatteries or lithium ion based batteries that ar

15、e charged through a conductive system while either on boardor off board the vehicle.1.2 The Industrial Truck AGV is intended to be used and installed in accordance with both the SafetyStandard for Driverless, Automatic Guided Industrial Vehicles and Automated Functions of MannedIndustrial Vehicles,

16、ANSI/ITSDF B56.5-2012, and in accordance with the Safety Standard for PoweredIndustrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations,NFPA 505.1.3 Portions of an AGV system, such as the charger, that are located off board the AGV, are intended tobe instal

17、led in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70.1.4 This outline will indicate all requirements for battery powered AGVs and peripheral systems includingthe specific charging device intended to be used with the AGV.1.5 This Outline does not include requirements for AGVs that funct

18、ion as people movers. Requirementsfor these devices are under consideration and may be included as part of a future revision.1.6 This outline does not include requirements for industrial robots, which are covered under the Standardfor Robots and Robotic Equipment, UL 1740.1.7 This Outline does not i

19、nclude requirements for AGVs that function as commercial and industrial floorcleaning equipment. This equipment is covered under ANSI C22.2 No. 336, Particular Requirements forRechargeable Battery-Operated Commercial Robotic Floor Treatment Machines with Traction Drives.2 Components2.1 Except as ind

20、icated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this outline shall comply with therequirements for that component.2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that:a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in theproduct cover

21、ed by this outline; orb) Is superseded by a requirement in this outline.MARCH 20, 2018UL 31006UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions o

22、fuse.2.4 Specific components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities.Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures notexceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.3 Unit
