Overview

FprEN 13035-2 (prEN 13035-2:2020) is a CEN type-C standard that specifies safety requirements for equipment used to store, handle and transport flat glass outside the factory. It covers machinery and devices that are in direct contact with flat glass for road and rail transport, including vehicle-mounted frails, inloader vehicles, self‑propelled load‑securing systems and powered lifting/retention equipment. The standard applies to machinery within the scope of the EU Machinery Directive as well as certain equipment outside that scope (see Annex A). It complements EN 13035-1, which addresses equipment used inside the factory.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability: Defines which types of equipment are covered (frails with/without motorized angle adjustment, inloader vehicles, load‑securing systems, powered pickup devices) and what is excluded (manual lifting devices, cranes and vehicle elements not in contact with glass, glazed windows/frames, marine transport).
• Design and installation safety: Requirements for mechanical strength, bearer and cladding materials, and the construction of stillages and pallets intended for outdoor use.
• Glass‑retention and load‑securing: Rules for retention devices (stanchions, straps, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, airbags) and guidelines to prevent glass movement or impact during transport.
• Special systems: Particular provisions for inloader vehicles, truck/van‑mounted frails (angle of lean), vacuum lifting devices and rail transport configurations.
• Verification and information: Procedures for verification of compliance, marking, operator instructions, signals and documentation for safe commissioning, operation and maintenance.
• Risk coverage: Addresses foreseeable misuse and significant hazards during use while excluding noise (not considered significant here). Annex B lists significant hazards; Annex D provides guidance on retention devices.

Practical applications and users

This standard is practical for:

• Manufacturers of storage racks, inloader vehicles, frails, load‑securing systems and powered glass handling equipment.
• System integrators and fleet operators specifying safe transport equipment for flat glass.
• Health & safety professionals and market surveillance authorities assessing compliance with machine safety.
• Maintenance and service providers responsible for commissioning and in‑field checks. Using EN 13035-2 helps reduce breakage, worker injury and liability by standardizing safe equipment design and information for road and rail transport of flat glass.

Related standards

• EN 13035-1 (safety for storage, handling and transport inside the factory)
• EN ISO 12100 (general principles of risk assessment - type‑C standard relationship)
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (relevance for equipment within scope)

Keywords: flat glass safety, storage handling transportation equipment, EN 13035-2, CEN, inloader, frails, load‑securing, glass retention devices.

4.1 General
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In
addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for relevant,
but not significant, and which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
For the applications of a type-B document, such as EN 60204-1:2018, EN ISO 13849-1:2015,
EN ISO 13850:2015, EN ISO 13855:2010, EN ISO 13857:2019, EN ISO 14118:2018, EN ISO 14119:2013,
EN ISO 14120:2015, the manufacturer shall carry out an adequate risk assessment in relation to the
requirements contained in these standards and that need to be selected.

prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
NOTE This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards that are not
covered by this document.
4.2 General requirements
4.2.1 Equipment shall be designed in accordance with EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.2.3, and shall be
manufactured using materials complying with EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.2.3.
Equipment shall comply with prEN 13035-1:2020, unless otherwise stated in this clause.
4.2.2 Mechanical strength
Inloaders, inloader load-securing devices and frails with power-driven function shall be capable of
resisting a load of at least 1,5 times the maximum permissible load without permanent deformation. For
transportation by all types of vehicles, all equipment shall be capable of resisting a force caused by an
acceleration of 0,8 g in the driving direction (longitudinally) and 0,5 g in the perpendicular direction
(laterally), which results from the dynamic forces. If the equipment, e.g. stillages, is not able to resist these
forces by design, then it is necessary to give information about how to withstand these forces by using a
further (additional) retention device.
4.2.3 Mechanical strength for combined transport
If equipment is intended to be also used for rail transport, it shall be designed, in addition to 4.2.2, such
that it resists a force resulting from dynamic forces caused by an acceleration of 1,0 g longitudinally and
0,5 g in perpendicular direction.
4.3 Angle of lean
4.3.1 Frails shall have an angle of lean of at least 4° if the vehicle is parked on horizontal ground under
the most unfavourable loading conditions.
4.3.2 For loading or unloading single plates, the frail shall be provided with an indication device
showing to the operator that the angle of lean is maintained correctly (see Figure C.4)).
4.4 Glass-retention devices
4.4.1 General requirements
Provisions shall be made for retaining the glass. If retention devices are not part of the equipment,
appropriate instructions shall be included in the operating manual (see 6.3).
The design of glass-retention devices shall demonstrate sufficient resistance to the glass; the mass of the
glass to be transported, the dynamic forces and the friction forces (see A.2 Stillages), which can occur
under extreme operating conditions, shall be taken into account for:
a) prevention of damage to the glass;
b) prevention of damage by the glass;
c) measures against failure or unintended deactivation of the retention function.
4.4.2 Appropriate solutions for retaining the glass
Appropriate solutions for retaining the glass are:
a) hydraulic and pneumatic retention devices;
b) airbags/cushions;
oSIST prEN 13035-2:2020
prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
c) stanchions;
d) belts/straps.
See Annex D (informative) for additional guidance.
4.5 Bearer and cladding materials
4.5.1 Cladding materials shall be used in order to prevent contact with any substance harder than the
glass; it shall be softer than the glass. All fixing materials shall be sufficiently countersunk below any
surface likely to come in contact with the glass in order to avoid such contact even at maximum load.
4.5.2 Back bearers
Cladding materials for back bearers and stanchions shall be sufficiently resilient to cushion the glass.
4.5.3 Base bearers
Cladding materials for base bearers shall be able to resist the weight of the glass.
4.6 Special transportation systems
4.6.1 Inloader vehicle
4.6.1.1 For reversing operation, an automatically acting visual or auditory warning device in
accordance with EN 981:1996+A1:2008 is necessary to warn persons outside the viewable area and to
indicate to leave the area at the rear of the inloader.
4.6.1.2 All work stations and maintenance locations shall be accessible from floor level, or
appropriate means for access in accordance with the EN ISO 14122:2016 series shall be provided.
Integral task-specific lighting with an illuminance of at least 100 lx for work stations and of at least 50 lx
for maintenance locations shall be provided
a) where access is assumed to be frequent (more than once a day);
b) where it can be assumed that general ambient lighting at the place of use is not sufficient (e.g. inside
the load compartment and on the inside of the front platform).
4.6.1.3 Around the vehicle, the design shall provide for a minimum gap of 100 mm between the
ground and parts of the vehicle, except inside the load compartment and for those elements which are
necessary to pick up the load. In these areas, a minimum distance of 50 mm shall be provided.
Measures against fall (of persons) from platforms from a falling height of more than one meter, e.g. the
front platform inside the vehicle, are necessary in form of suitable barriers, e.g. a handrail at a height
between 1,00 m and 1,10 m and a knee rail at approximately half the height.
Parts inside the inloader where slipping, tripping or impact hazards are present shall be clearly marked
by yellow and contrasting black stripes in accordance with ISO 3864-1.
If a stillage is present inside the load compartment, access to this load compartment inside the vehicle
shall be prohibited by a prohibition sign in accordance with Figure E.2, completed by a supplementary
sign stating “Access prohibited when stillage inside” in accordance with ISO 3864-1.
A device shall be provided (e.g. a fixing bar) for locking the rear door in each normal open position (e.g.
90° and 270°) to prevent the door being closed due to gust.
oSIST prEN 13035-2:2020
prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
4.6.1.4 For movable kingpin frames, a locking device is necessary in the lifted position. This locking
device can be a mechanical or a redundant hydraulic locking device, e.g. with dual releasable non-return
check valves on two cylinders. If the unlocked position is possible, it shall be indicated by optical means
located close to the locking control device (e.g. by a yellow indicator light). Reaching the driving height
shall be indicated by marking, e.g. a pointer.
If the vehicle is equipped with a fixed king pin frame, the requirements for operating heights at the semi-
trailer coupling point of the tractor unit shall be indicated near the semi-trailer coupling point.
Furthermore, the specification of permissible dimensions of the profile of inloader stillages to be
transported is required for these types of vehicles.
4.6.1.5 A device for keeping the load in balance in all directions during lifting and lowering shall be
provided. If these devices make use of the inloader wheel-suspension system, this can be achieved by e.g.
an electronically controlled air-suspension system.
To avoid unexpected movement during lifting and lowering, an approved brake-release function is
necessary.
A device (fail-safe system) is required to avoid contact of the load (stillage) with the ground during
transportation (operating manual). The device shall be readily accessible from ground level and be
operable even when wearing the required personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves).
4.6.1.6 Control actuators and displays for the rear door, the kingpin frame and the load-securing
system (even if only parts of it are activated or deactivated) shall be arranged outside of the area from
which the danger zone can be reached, and they shall be clearly and unambiguously marked (e.g. function,
operating mode (functionality), preferably by using pictograms).
At the control station for closing and opening the rear door, the unobstructed view of the main closing
edge shall be possible. All other edges of the door shall be at a minimum distance of 25 mm to the vehicle
body. The free space can be filled with sufficiently soft material, e.g. foam rubber. In addition, a warning
sign (see Figure E.1) indicating the danger of finger crushing near the main closing edge is required.
A movement of the powered load-securing device shall only be possible by means of a hold-to-run control
device. The control device shall be accessible only after opening the rear door, and it shall enable the
operator to move to a location that is outside the danger zone of falling glass, e.g. by using a cable remote
control. The related parts of the control system shall be in accordance with of EN ISO 13849-1:2015,
performance level c. Close to the hold-to-run control device, an emergency-stop device for controlling the
load-securing system with a control circuit at least in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2015,
performance level c, is necessary. Devices indicating that the load-securing system has reached the end
position shall be provided for the glass-retaining position and the open position, where the glass-
retaining position shall be indicated permanently.
Engaging the door-locking device shall not be possible without prior activation of the load-securing
device. If no load-securing device is needed or with an empty “L” rack or during empty run, an
acknowledgement key shall be actuated which is located on the side of the inloader that is opposite to the
control units of the door-closing mechanism and the load-securing mechanism. This key shall be designed
as a hold-to-run control.
4.6.1.7 Technical measures shall be taken against the unexpected start of dangerous movements
after power return (e.g. when changing the tractor unit). This applies in particular to the load-securing
system and the rear door.
Measures are required to prevent the operation by unauthorised persons (e.g. by locking the control
actuators).
In order to prevent hydraulic movements during interventions, an isolating device such as a (pump) main
switch or a plug connection to the tractor unit (lockable) is required.
oSIST prEN 13035-2:2020
prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
4.6.1.8 If the load-securing device is not self–locking, a device is necessary to warn the driver during
transportation in case the load-securing device fails. This device shall be visual and/or auditory and
directly or indirectly perceivable from the driver's position. Unless the device indicates the normal load-
securing condition, the indicator device shall be redundant.
4.6.1.9 For hydraulic load-securing devices (e.g. hydro-push system), a pressure gauge is required.
This device shall be visible from the operator's position during the load-securing process. The safe
operating range of the load-securing system shall be clearly visible, e.g. by a red/green marking.
4.6.1.10 The stillage inside of the inloader shall be secured rearwards against an acceleration of 0,5 g.
This can be achieved by e.g. improving the friction value.
4.6.2 Truck and van-mounted frails with motorized adjustment of the angle of lean
4.6.2.1 An indication device is necessary to inform the operator that the angle of lean is adequate for
the loading and unloading process. Systems indicating the current angle of lean shall clearly differentiate
between the working range and the dangerous range, e.g. by a two-colour system.
4.6.2.2 A device for tilting the frail to an angle ≥ 4° for the loading and unloading process is required.
This can be achieved by the following methods:
a) adjustment of the frail (e.g. Figures C.1 and C.2);
b) adjustment of the vehicle frame (e.g. Figure C.3).
For adjustment methods that include control functions, the relevant parts of the control system shall be
at least in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1:2015, performance level c. For other systems, the adjusted
position shall be maintained, e.g. by using automatic self-locking systems.
4.6.2.3 A retention device is necessary in the front and at the back of each load on the frail to prevent
the glass plates from sliding out in the travel direction as well as in the opposite direction. In combination
with the other load-securing elements, the devices shall comply with the requirements of 4.2.2.
4.6.2.4 Frails shall be mounted on vehicles complying with the requirements specified by the vehicle
manufacturer.
4.7 Vacuum-lifting device
Regardless of the type of hoisting mechanism, vacuum-lifting devices for flat glass shall comply with the
requirements of EN 13155:2020 and with the additional requirements stated below.
Reliability shall be such that failure of one vacuum circuit has no effect on the rated capacity that is
required according to EN 13155:2020.
If vacuum-lifting devices are intended to be used in an area where it is difficult to leave the danger zone
or to warn persons within the danger zone, the requirements of EN 13155:2020, 5.2.2.8, only apply to the
extent that one single fault (e.g. failure of the largest sub-circuit) shall not lead to the condition that the
remaining circuits are not being able to hold twice the rated capacity at the end of the work range. Rating
the capacity of the vacuum-lifting device according to EN 13155 (twice the capacity) shall be done
independently from the type of the lifting device and its capacity. The plate geometry shall be considered
especially for horizontal use. The test according to EN 13155:2020, Annex C, shall be carried out for all
single faults.
The safety-related part of the control system should at least comply with EN ISO 13849-1:2015,
performance level c. Cableless controls shall comply with EN 60204-1:2018, 9.2.7.
oSIST prEN 13035-2:2020
prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
All movements shall be controlled using a hold-to-run control device. These devices shall be secured
against unintended actuation.
NOTE When designing vacuum-lifting devices for flat glass, the nature of the glass surface (e.g. smooth or
textured, coated or powdered) it needs to be taken into account.
4.8 Special requirements for rail transport
4.8.1 Inloader - General
The inloader shall contain a device to fix the stillage in order to prevent gliding during transport while
travelling in reverse direction. It shall be dimensioned in accordance with appropriate specifications in
order to be able to withstand longitudinal acceleration according to EN 12195-1:2010.
4.8.2 Load-securing system
The load-securing system shall maintain its full securing function even if the transport takes places over
an extended period of time, even for several days.
Climatic influences shall not affect the functionality under no circumstances. For this reason, the load-
securing system shall
a) be equipped with an on-board energy supply (e.g. a battery), and/or
b) be designed mechanically (e.g. spindle drive) and/or hydraulically (e.g. check valves) self-locking.
4.8.3 Gripping edges
Design and arrangement of the lifting points shall comply with the currently published UIC Leaflet 50596-
5.
Positioning of the gripping-edge system shall ensure nearly symmetric loading of the lifting device, with
a maximum permissible deviation in accordance with UIC Leaflet 50596-5.
The structure of the inloader chassis shall be such that a sufficient load-bearing connection between the
gripping edges and the inloader mounting profile is provided.
NOTE This is proven by a test carried out by a recognized railway organization and documented by issuing a
certificate. The inloader needs to be marked accordingly after having received the certificate (see 6.4 and
Figure E.3).
4.8.4 Transportation heights
During rail transport, the front of the inloader is connected to the fifth-wheel coupling of the railway
wagon. The fifth-wheel coupling height of the railway wagon shall be adjusted to 1 130 mm. The inloader
shall correspond to that fifth-wheel coupling height.
The inloader shall be arranged on the railway wagon such that it is in horizontal position in its
longitudinal direction at the specified fifth-wheel coupling height and with unpressurized air suspension
(bogie).
Therefore, it shall be supplied with a height-adjustment device at the bogies, by which the necessary
inloader height with unpressurized air suspension can be adjusted at the bogie.
The height-adjustment device shall be designed sufficiently stable and shall be provided on all axles.
The structure of the inloader regarding its height and shape shall comply with the structural clearance
which has been determined by a recognized railway organization.
The railway wagon shall be fundamentally capable of retaining and transporting glass inloaders and shall
therefore fulfil the following conditions:
oSIST prEN 13035-2:2020
prEN 13035-2:2020 (E)
a) the railway wagon shall provide a sufficient loading width in order to transfer the inloader-axle load
at the tyre-contact patch and no vertical forces occur inside the tyre walls of the inloader;
b) all tyres of the inloader shall rest over their entire contact patch on the ground of the railway wagon;
c) the reinforcing profiles on the ground of the railway wagon shall not exceed a height of 120 mm so
that the reinforcing profiles cannot come in contact with the base of the glass stillage during
transport;
d) the position of reinforcing cross beams on the ground of the railway wagon shall be selected such
that they do not conflict with the wheels of the inloader.
