Foreword
This document (EN 1777:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 192 “Fire
service equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2005.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s).
For relationship with EC Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
This document includes a Bibliography.
It is one of a series of standards produced by CEN/TC 192 as part of the CEN/CENELEC programme
of work to produce machine safety standards. It is based on the work of CEN/TC 98 EN 280 Mobile
Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), and allows for future adaptation of any type and size of MEWP to
firefighting and rescue. Because of the wide variety of sizes and types of Hydraulic Platforms (HPs), it
is not a detailed specification and performance specifications other than safety requirements are a
matter for agreement between suppliers and customers. It is intended to be used in conjunction with
Parts 1 and 2 of EN 1846.
It was accepted that the safety related parts of the control system would need to be reformulated to
take account of the methodology of EN 954 but, in view of the further delays to publication this would
cause, it was decided to defer this to a second stage.
Similarly, it was accepted that re-consideration of the need for load control on HPs with a single rated
load should be deferred to a second stage, to avoid further delays to publication of the standard.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming
with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and its amending Directives, and
associated EFTA Regulations.
It is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
HPs are machines used primarily to provide Fire Services with a means of firefighting, rescuing
persons from dangerous locations and access to other hazardous and/or working locations, by means
of a platform on an extending structure mounted on a base.
Where the mass/rigidity of the base does not provide inherent stability, stability is assured by
stabilizers interlocked with movements of the extending structure.
The movements of the extending structure are normally made by fluid power (hydraulics).
The platform is self-levelling and is primarily used to carry one or more persons and any necessary
equipment and/or materials. It can be fitted with one or more monitors for projecting water or other
fire-fighting fluids or semi-solid materials.
Controls are provided at the platform and at the base, to control movements of the extending structure.
They can also control movements of the monitor(s) and of the base if it is mobile.
The extended positions of the platform can be above and/or below and horizontally beyond the
surface supporting the base.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this document.
The safety requirements of this document have been drawn up on the basis that HPs are periodically
maintained by persons trained according to manufacturer's instructions, working conditions, frequency
of use, and national regulations.
It is also assumed that HPs are not put into operation unless all required control- and safety-devices
are available and in working order and that persons operating HPs are adequately trained.
When mention is made of a design for the sake of clarity, this should not be considered to be the only
possible design; any other solution may be applied if it is at least equally safe.
As no satisfactory explanation could be found for the dynamic factors used for stability calculations in
previous national standards, the results of the tests carried out by CEN/TC 98 "Lifting Platforms" to
determine a suitable factor and stability calculation method for mobile elevating work platforms
(MEWPs) have been adopted. The test method is described in Annex B as a guide for manufacturers
wishing to use higher or lower operating speeds and to take advantage of developments in control
systems.
Similarly, to avoid the unexplained inconsistencies in wire rope coefficients of utilization and drum and
pulley diameters found in other standards for lifting devices, Annex C, of EN 280:2001, based on
DIN 15020, together with Annex D of EN 280:2001, have been adopted.
1 Scope
1.1 General
This document identifies the significant hazards (see 4) in the use of all sizes of HP by fire fighting
and rescue services, on the basis that they are supplied in a complete form, tested and ready for use,
and gives methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards and for the use of safe working
practices.
NOTE The principles of this standard have been used for HPs ranging from the smallest up to working
heights exceeding 70 m, and are expected to be applicable to all foreseeable developments of HPs for Fire
Services.
This document deals with HPs, the base of which is normally a motor vehicle, but can also be static or
fixed, or mobile in the form of:
— a trailer or de-mountable unit
— any other type of self-propelled vehicle
For vehicle mounted HPs this document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846-2, Fire
fighting and rescue service vehicles —Part 2: Common requirements — Safety and performance.
This document is not applicable to HPs which were manufactured before the date of publication of this
document by CEN.
1.2 This document is applicable to the structural design calculations and stability criteria,
constructional details and tests of HPs, and gives guidance on the intended life limits for HPs
(see 5.2.5.2.2).
NOTE This document may also be used for machines similar to HPs equipped with monitors, surveillance or
other equipment for firefighting use but not intended for lifting persons.
1.3 This document does not specify the special requirements for:
HPs operated by programmable electronic systems and/or radio which do not rely on cables;
use in underground work (mines);
use in potentially explosive atmospheres;
the use of pneumatic cylinders to operate load carrying components.
1.4 Classification
HPs are divided into two main types:
Type A: HPs where the vertical projection of the centre of gravity of the load is always inside the
tipping lines.
Type B: HPs where the vertical projection of the centre of gravity of the load may be outside the
tipping lines.
HPs are further divided into three groups related to travelling:
Group 1: Travelling is only allowed with the HP in its transport position.
Group 2: Travelling with raised platform is controlled only from a point of control at the chassis.
Group 3: (Self-propelled) Travelling with raised platform is controlled from a point of control at the
platform.
