This Standard applies to battery-operated vehicles (i.e. trucks and tractors) which incorporate a storage battery of the lead-acid type as the source of power, which may be all-electric or electrohydraulic in operation, and which may be used where flammable gases or vapours may be present in the atmosphere. It does not apply to battery-operated vehicles within the scope of AS 2595.1.The Standard prescribes requirements for the electrical components and those mechanical or hydraulic components which may be capable of producing arcs, sparks, or hot surfaces that will present a fire or explosion hazard in the presence of flammable gases or vapours. It also prescribes the tests to which certain components will be subjected to establish their compliance with this Standard. Hazards other than the ignition of gases or vapours are excluded from this Standard.NOTE: Some authorities require that battery-operated vehicles, in addition to complying with this Standard, also comply with AS 2359.1.
