This European standard specifies appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.  0.3 Exclusions  The following are not covered:  a) operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields, etc.); b) operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, work on live lines); c) transportation of passengers from one level to another; d) handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/bases, radioactive materials, brittle loads); e) hazards occuring when handling suspended loads in conjunction with the suspended platform; f) hazards occuring when used on public roads, over water, or wherever it is not possible to lower the platform to a safe position; g) hazards arising from wind pressure acting on loads having a surface area in excess of 2 mý; h) SAE using cableless control systems.  The following applications for SAE are excluded from this standard: - Access to working areas with an incline in excess of 45ø compared to the vertical; - Working platforms suspended by cranes; - Silo access equipment; - Access equipment using fibre ropes or chains for the suspension of the platform; - SAE intended to be used underground; - SAE powered by combustion engines; - SAE intended to be used in shafts.

Part 2 of standard EN 1756 specifies safety requirements for design of tail lifts as defined in 3.1 for mounting on wheeled passenger vehicles.
Vehicles for the loading of disabled passengers onto aircraft and ships are included within the scope of the standard (although dock-mounted lifts are excluded).
It also specifies the verification of such tail lifts and the safety information that shall be provided for their use.
This document deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the operation of tail lifts when carried out in accordance with the specifications as intended by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.
It applies to passenger tail lifts:
-   used for the purpose of embarking and/or disembarking passengers to and from such vehicles;
-   intended to be fitted, temporarily or permanently, either inside or on the front, side or rear of the wheeled vehicle;
-   driven either by hand or by electric power;
-   equipped with a platform to support passengers who may be pedestrians or riders in wheelchairs and may be accompanied by an attendant.
Embarking and/or disembarking operations include the use of a tail lift to lift and/or lower passengers, and if specifically approved by the manufacturer, for use as a link bridge.
The standard covers the significant hazards which could occur when a tail lift is used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer.  A list of significant hazards is given in clause 4.
This document is not applicable to tail lifts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables for raising and/or lowering goods and/or persons associated with the movement of goods carried by the lifting table, for a vertical travel of up to 3,0 m. Note: These lifting table are intended for the transport of goods and not for the movement of passengers. 1.2  This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to lifting tables when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4).

This standard specifies the special safety requirements for Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWP) which are temporarily installed and are manuelly or power operated and which are designed to be used by one or more persons from which to carry out work. The vertical moving components (work platform) are also used to move those same persons and their equipmenet and materials to and from a single boarding point. These restrictions differentiate MCWPs from Builder's hoists.

This standard deals with power operated temporarily installed builders hoists (referred to as "hoists" in this standard) intended for use by persons who are permitted to enter sites of engineering and construction, serving landing levels, having a carrier - designed for the transportation of persons and materials; - guided; - travelling vertically or along a path within 15 degrees max. of the vertical; - supported or sustained by drum driven wire rope, rack and pinion, hydraulic jack (direct or indirect), or an expanding linkage mechanism;  etc.

1.1 This European Standard specifies technical safety requirements and measures for all types and sizes of Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) intended to move persons to working positions where they are carrying out work from the work platform (WP) with the intention that persons are getting on and off the work platform at one defined access position.
1.2 This European Standard is applicable to the structural design calculations and stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and tests before MEWPs are first put into service. It identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards.
It does not cover the hazards arising from:
a) operation by radio and other wire-less controls;
b) use in potentially explosive atmospheres;
c) electromagnetic incompatibility;
d) work on live electric systems;
e) use of compressed gases for load bearing components;
f) getting on and off the work platform at changing levels.
1.3 This European standard does not apply to:
a) permanently installed personnel lifting appliances serving defined levels (see e.g. EN 81-1:1998 and EN 81-2:1998);
b) fire-fighting and fire rescue appliances (see e.g. prEN 1777:1994);
c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see e.g. EN 1808:1999);
d) elevating operator position on rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see EN 528:1996);
e) tail lifts (see prEN 1756-1:1994 and prEN 1756-2:1997);
f) mast climbing work platforms (see EN 1495:1997);
g) fairground equipment;
h) lifting tables with a lifting height of less than 2 m (see EN 1570:1998);
i) builders hoists for persons and materials (see prEN 12159:1995);
j) aircraft ground support equipment (see e.g. prEN 1915-1 and 2:1995);
k) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see prEN 1726-2:1999).

This European Standard specifies additional requirements for the design of elevating control stations on cranes.
General requirements for control stations on cranes are specified in EN 13557.
This European Standard also specifies requirements for the driving mechanism, the supporting and suspension system and for safety devices for the elevating control station.
This European Standard does not cover hazards which could occur during transport, erection, commissioning, modification, maintenance, de-commissioning or disposal.
This European Standard does not apply to control stations which will move with a load or a load lifting attachment.
This European Standard does not apply to lifts for crane drivers.
This European Standard does not deal with noise hazards because noise due to the movement of the elevating control station is negligible compared to the noise due to the normal operation of the crane.
NOTE    Noise hazards are dealt within the appropriate European Standard for specific crane types.
The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in Clause 4.
This European Standard is not applicable to elevating control stations which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN.
