Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
All quantities are in metric units.
For work platforms with front guards that can be opened, restraint devices (harness and lanyard) are
used as personal protective equipment (PPE) and are intended to be the protection against the risk of
falling; to reach this objective, requirements related to the length of the harness have been specified. Also,
protective measures are consequently provided in this document assuming that not connecting harness
to lanyard or lanyard to anchorage on the work platform is a foreseeable misuse, therefore requirements
related to monitoring the harnesses have been specified. It is also assumed that not wearing harness is a
foreseeable misuse, and warnings and information for use are required accordingly.
Work platforms having a front guard that can be opened at height are not intended for general work
activities and should only be used where they can be demonstrated to be the safest work method possible
for an activity.
EN 1459-9 covers platforms for roof material removal. It does not cover other platforms for other roofs
activities, which can have different technical solutions to cover the risk of falling.
1 Scope
