1 Scope
1.1 These requirements cover electric-battery-powered cleaning machines such as buffers, scrubbers.
and polishers for industrial use.
1.2 Electric-battery-powered cleaning machines are intended to be operated, maintained, and used inaccordance with the truck type designations in the Standard for Powered industrial Trucks lncluding TypeDesignations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations, NFPA 505.
1.3 Electric-battery-powered cleaning machines are identified as follows:
