- à la manutention de grands récipients vrac souples, tels que définis dans l'ISO 21898:2004, transportés sous les fourches du chariot ou avec des accessoires destinés à cet effet;
- à tous les accessoires/moyens utilisés pour le levage de personnel ;
- aux équipements de levage ;
- aux chariots porte-conteneurs ;
- aux grues mobiles (couvertes par l’EN 13000:2010+A1:2014).
Le présent document traite de tous les phénomènes dangereux significatifs, situations dangereuses et événements dangereux relatifs aux les chariots manutentionnant une charge suspendue librement, lorsqu'ils sont utilisés comme prévu et dans des conditions de mauvaise utilisation qui sont raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant (voir l’Annexe A).
Le présent document ne traite pas du limiteur de charge pour les accessoires.
Le présent document n'est pas applicable aux chariots tout‐terrain à portée variable conçus et prévus pour manutentionner des charges suspendues fabriqués avant la date de sa publication.
