Power-operated mobile racking and shelving, carousels and storage lifts - Safety requirements

This European Standard deals with the safety requirements for the following types of power-operated storage equipment:
-   storage carousels;
-   storage lifts;
-   mobile shelving, pallet racking and cantilever racking
with the objective of eliminating or minimising the hazards described in Clause 4. These hazards can arise during installation, starting up, operation, maintenance, testing and dismantling of the equipment.
1.2   It is essential that the safety requirements and/or measures taken in this standard be applied to storage equipment which operates indoors. Under difficult conditions, it is essential that additional hazard analysis and safety measures be taken into account, e. g. outdoor conditions, freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields, risk of explosive atmosphere, radioactive conditions, storage goods which due to their nature could generate hazardous situations (e. g. molten metal, acids/alkalis, fragile goods or explosives), effects of earthquakes and also contact with food.
1.3   Examples of power-operated storage equipment to which this standard applies are shown in Annex A.
1.4   With regard to buildings and parts of buildings, this standard applies only insofar that an assessment regarding hazards and risks in connection with interfaces to the storage equipment is carried out.
1.5   Storage equipment whose only power source is directly used human labour or gravity are excluded from the scope of application of this standard.
1.6   Power-operated storage equipment or parts of them do not fall under the regulations for passenger lifts. They are intended to handle and store goods. They are not intended to transport passengers under normal use (except for maintenance) and therefore not considered to be lifts (elevators).
1.7   This standard does not take hazards into account, which arise from noisy environments or environments subject to electromagnetic interference outside the range quoted in EN 61000-6-2.

Kraftbetriebene verschiebbare Paletten- und Fachbodenregale, Umlaufregale und Lagerlifte - Sicherheitsanforderungen

1.1   Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die Sicherheitsanforderungen an die folgenden Arten von kraftbetriebenen Lagereinrichtungen:
   Umlaufregale;
   Lagerlifte;
   verfahrbare Fachboden-, Paletten- und Kragarmregale
mit dem Ziel, die in Abschnitt 4 aufgeführten Gefährdungen zu eliminieren oder zu minimieren. Diese Gefährdungen können während der Montage, der Inbetriebnahme, des Betriebes, der Instandhaltung, der Prüfung und der Demontage der Einrichtung entstehen.
1.2   Wesentlich ist, dass die Sicherheitsanforderungen und/oder Maßnahmen dieser Norm auf Lagereinrichtungen angewendet werden, die in geschlossenen Räumen betrieben werden. Beim Einsatz unter erschwerten Bedingungen kommt es darauf an, dass zusätzliche Gefährdungsanalysen und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen berücksichtigt werden, z. B. Bedingungen bei Betrieb im Freien, Kühlhausanwendungen, hohe Temperaturen, korrosive Umgebungen, starke magnetische Felder, Gefahr einer explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre, radioaktive Bedingungen, Lagergüter, die auf Grund ihrer Beschaffenheit gefährliche Situationen hervorrufen könnten (z. B. feuerflüssiges Metall, Säuren/Laugen, zerbrechliche Güter oder Sprengstoffe), Auswirkungen von Erdbeben und auch Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln.
1.3   Beispiele von kraftbetriebenen Lagereinrichtungen, für die diese Norm gilt, sind im Anhang A dargestellt.
1.4   Für Gebäude und Gebäudeteile gilt diese Norm nur insoweit, als eine Bewertung hinsichtlich Gefährdungen und Risiken im Zusammenhang mit Schnittstellen zu den Lagereinrichtungen erfolgt.
1.5   Vom Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm sind Lagereinrichtungen ausgenommen, deren einzige Kraft-quelle die unmittelbar angewandte menschliche Arbeitskraft oder die Schwerkraft ist.
1.6   Kraftbetriebene Lagereinrichtungen oder Teile davon fallen nicht unter die Vorschriften für Aufzüge. Sie sind zur Beförderung und Lagerung von Waren vorgesehen.

Élévateurs de stockage, carrousels et rayonnages à palette et à tablette, mobiles et motorisés - Prescriptions de sécurité

1.1   La présente Norme européenne traite des prescriptions techniques pour les types suivants d’équipements de stockage à commande mécanique :
   carrousels de stockage ;
   élévateurs de stockage ;
   rayonnage mobile, rayonnage à palettes et rayonnage en porte-à-faux ;
dans le but de réduire à un minimum les phénomènes dangereux décrits dans l’Article 4. Ces phénomènes dangereux peuvent survenir pendant l’installation, la mise en route, le fonctionnement, la maintenance, les essais et le démontage de l’équipement.
1.2   Il est essentiel que les prescriptions et/ou mesures de sécurité prises dans la présente norme s’appliquent aux équipements de stockage qui fonctionnent en intérieur. Dans des conditions difficiles, il est essentiel qu’une analyse des risques supplémentaire et des mesures additionnelles de sécurité soit prises en compte, par exemple : conditions extérieures, applications à basse température, hautes températures, environnement corrosif, champs magnétiques forts, risque d’atmosphère explosive, conditions radioactives, marchandises de stockage qui par nature sont susceptibles de créer des situations dangereuses (par exemple : métal fondu, acides/alcalis, marchandises fragiles ou explosifs), effets sismiques et également contact avec la nourriture.
1.3   Des exemples d’équipements de stockage motorisés auxquels la présente norme s’applique sont illustrés dans l’Annexe A.
1.4   En ce qui concerne les bâtiments et parties de bâtiments, la présente nome s’applique seulement dans la mesure où l’évaluation des phénomènes dangereux et des risques en rapport avec les interfaces aux équipements de stockage est exécutée.
1.5   Sont exclus du domaine d’application de la présente norme les équipements de stockage dont la seule source de puissance est la main-d’oeuvre humaine ou la gravité utilisée directement.

Introduction
This standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
For machines designed and built according to the specifications of this Type C Standard the following applies:
"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."
When this standard was prepared it was assumed that:
 only trained staff would operate, repair or maintain the machine;
 components without special requirements are
1) sized in accordance with good engineering practice and methods of calculation including all types of
failure;
2) correctly constructed mechanically and electrically;
3) made of materials of adequate loading capacity and of suitable quality;
4) made of materials that are fit for that purpose.
 components are kept in a good repair and operating condition so that the required characteristics can be
maintained in spite of wear and tear;
 sizing of load bearing parts ensures safe operation of the machine in a loading range from 0 % to 100 %
of the nominal capacity and during testing conditions if applicable;
 details of particular conditions of use and the installation site are agreed between user and manufacturer;
 working area is adequately illuminated;
 installation site permits safe operation of the machine.
