Mobile elevating work platforms - Design calculations - Stability criteria - Construction - Safety - Examinations and tests

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and measures for all types and sizes of Mobile Elevating Work Platform intended to move persons to working positions where they are carrying out work from the work platform (WP) with the intention that persons are getting on and off the work platform only at access positions at ground level or on the chassis.
NOTE Machines designed for the handling of goods which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable equipment are regarded as MEWPs.
This European Standard is applicable to the structural design calculations and stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and tests before MEWPs are first put into service. It identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards.
Classification: MEWPs are divided into two main groups:
a) Group A: MEWPs where the vertical projection of the centre of the area of the platform in all platform configurations at the maximum chassis inclination specified by the manufacturer is always inside the tipping lines.
b) Group B: All other MEWPs.
Relating to travelling, MEWPs are divided into three types:
1) Type 1: Travelling is only allowed with the MEWP in its transport configuration;
2) Type 2: Travelling with raised work platform is controlled from a point of control at the chassis;
3) Type 3: Travelling with raised work platform is controlled from a point of control at the work platform.
NOTE Type 2 and type 3 can be combined.

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
1 Modification to Clause 2 "Normative references"
Add the following new standards:
"EN 13001-3-1:2012+A1:2013, Cranes ― General design ― Part 3-1: Limit states and proof competence of
steel structure",
"EN 62061, Safety of machinery ― Functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable
electronic control systems (IEC 62061)" and
"ISO/TR 23849:2010, Guidance on the application of ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 in the design of safety-
related control systems for machinery".

2 Modification to 5.1.2
Replace the word "operated" by "powered".

3 Modification to 5.2.2 "Loads and forces"
Replace
"b) structural loads (see 5.2.3.2)"
by
"b) dead weights (see 5.2.3.2)".

4 Modification to 5.2.3.2 "Structural loads"
Replace the existing text by the following text:
"5.2.3.2 Dead weights
The masses of the components of the MEWP when they are not moving shall be taken to be static dead
weights.
The masses of the components of the MEWP when they are moving shall be taken to be dynamic dead
weights."
5 Modification to 5.2.3.5 “Special loads and forces”
In the second paragraph, replace "structural load" by "dead weight".

6 Modification to 5.2.4 "Stability calculations"
In the key of Figure 6 c), 6 d), 7 a), 8 a) and 8 b) change the definition of "M" to "manual force".
7 Modification to 5.2.5.2 “Calculation methods”
Replace the existing text before the figures by the following text:
"The strength of load bearing steel structures shall be calculated and proofed in accordance with EN 13001-3-
1. When EN 13001-3-1 is not applicable, e.g. the fatigue strength of welded connections with plates thinner
than 3 mm, the calculation and proof of the load bearing structures shall follow the principles of EN 13001-3-1,
and appropriate limits states shall be obtained from relevant sources.
Requirements laid down in 5.2.2, 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 above are to be considered for the determination of loads
and forces to be used in the calculations.
The elastic deformations of slender components shall be taken into account.
The analysis defined in 5.2.5.3 shall be made for the worst load combinations and shall include the effects of
the overload test (see 6.1.4.3) and the functional test (see 6.1.4.5)."

8 Modification to 5.2.5.2 “Calculation methods”, Table 2
In the heading row of the table replace "Structural loads" by "Dead weights".

9 Modification to 5.2.5.2 "Calculation methods"
Move Figure 5 a) to Figure 8 b) and Table 2 between last subclause of 5.2.4 (i.e. 5.2.4.4) and 5.2.5.
Additionally move Figure 5 a) to Figure 8 b) after Table 2.

10 Modification to 5.2.5.3 “Analysis”
Replace the text of the whole subclause by the following text:
"5.2.5.3 Strength analysis
5.2.5.3.1 Static strength analysis
All load bearing components and joints shall be proofed against failure by yielding or fracture. All load bearing
components subjected to compressive loads shall be proofed against failure by elastic instability (e.g. buckling
or crippling).
Loads can be considered to be either regular or occasional.
Regular loads occur frequently under normal operation. Regular loads are:
 rated load;
 dead weights.
Occasional loads occur infrequently, and are usually neglected in fatigue assessment. Occasional loads are:
 loads due to in-service wind;
 manual force.
These loads are combined into two load combinations, load combination A comprising only regular loads and
load combination B comprising both regular and occasional loads. The static strength of the structure shall be
assessed for both load combination A and B. The loads and forces defined in 5.2.3 shall thereby be multiplied
by the partial safety factors γ given in Table 3.

Table 3 — Partial load factors
Partial safety factors γ
p
Clause Loading
Load combination A Load combination B
5.2.3.1 Rated load 1.34 1.22
5.2.3.2 Dead weights 1.22 1.16
5.2.3.3 Wind loads − 1.22
5.2.3.4 Manual force − 1.22
Dead weights that are acting favourably (e.g. counterweights that reduce forces and stresses) in some load
carrying parts, shall be assigned the value γ = 1 when calculating those load carrying parts.
p
NOTE Load combinations from EN 13001-2 are not applicable within this standard."
5.2.5.3.2 Fatigue strength analysis
The fatigue stress analysis is the proof against failure by fatigue due to stress fluctuations. The analysis shall
be made for all load bearing components and joints which are critical to fatigue taking into account the
constructional details, the degree of stress fluctuation and the number of stress cycles. The number of stress
cycles can be a multiple of the number of load cycles. Other stress variations during use, caused by
movements (e.g. slewing, raising or travelling), can also contribute to the number of stress cycles. Usually,
only regular loads need to be considered and the partial safety factors γ shall be set to 1. Loads due to
p
misuse need not be considered.
NOTE 1 Due to the requirements in 5.4.6 and 5.6.13, no fatigue assessment is needed for stresses caused by
vibrations during transport.
For the proof, the different parts of the load bearing structure shall be assigned to S classes in accordance
with 6.3 of EN 13001-3-1:2012+A1:2013 (see also H.1). The S classes may be established either:
 by direct selection from H.2;
 by directly applying the formulae in EN 13001-3-1:2012+A1:2013 (see also H.3.2);
 in a simplified way described in H.3.3;
 by experience with technical justification.
NOTE 2 For the design of wire rope drive systems see Annex D.
Verification of the requirements of 5.2 ― by design check, static tests and overload test"

11 Modification to 5.6.14
Add the following new point:
"d) be positioned not more than 750 mm above the floor of the work platform."

12 Modification to 5.7.9
Replace the existing text by the following new structured text:
"5.7.9 Overriding of emergency stop and/or safety functions/devices
5.7.9.1 General
Overriding of emergency stops and safety functions/devices shall not be possible at the same time, except in
the case described in 5.7.9.4.
5.7.9.2 Overriding of emergency stop
Overriding of emergency stop according to 5.7.5 shall only be allowed:
 at a control station which is not in use (e.g. outrigger control station with ground control selected or
ground control with platform control selected and vice-versa) and/or
 for rescuing a trapped and/or incapacitated operator on the platform.
Verification ― by design check and functional test.
5.7.9.3 Overriding of safety functions/devices
Safety functions/devices may be overridden to recover the operator where a safety device has been tripped
(e.g. moment sensing system, load sensing system or position control).
Overriding of safety functions/devices is permitted only by the use of a mode selection device that is
independent from the control station selection device. Such a mode sel
