M/605 - MACHINERY

This document specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating cranes (herein referred to as manipulators), powered by an energy other than human energy, to assist an operator in the handling of loads.
This document does not cover:
-   mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs, counterweights or automatons;
-   manipulating robots;
-   operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields);
-   operation subject to special rules;
-   handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads);
NOTE   High risk applications are dealt by EN 13135:2018 and EN 13001-2:2021.
-   hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100:2010 applies.
This document is not applicable to manipulators manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document specifies stability and mechanical safety requirements and test methods for electrically operated furniture for domestic and non-domestic use, including requirements on shear, compression, entrapment, strength and durability.
The document applies to electrically operated furniture for use in areas accessible by adults and children of all abilities, and domestic pets.
The requirements in this document are intended to minimize the hazards that can occur during intended use and reasonably foreseeable use.
This document includes requirements related to all persons, including children from the age of 4 years in and around the products and the associated hazards.
This document excludes considerations and requirements related to children less than 4 years old operating the product.
This document does not include requirements related to the electrical safety of the item of furniture.
In general, it does not take into account:
-   damage to property or the environment.
This document does not apply to:
-   seating incorporated in other machines;
-   seats in vehicles.
If the electrically operated furniture has additional functions or can be converted into other products, other relevant European Standards can apply.
This document is not applicable to electrically operated furniture which is manufactured before the date of publication of this document.
Wherever the term "furniture" is used in this document, it means electrically operated furniture.
