Introduction 0.1 Racking Racking systems are load bearing structures for the storage and retrieval of goods in warehouses. The goods to be stored are generally on pallets or in box-containers. Racking is constructed from steel components including upright frames, beams and decking. Special beam to column (upright) connections and bracing systems are utilised, in order to achieve a three dimensional steel ‘sway’ or ‘braced’ structure with “aisles” to enable order pickers, industrial trucks or stacker cranes to reach the storage positions. Although components are standardised they are only standard to each manufacturer. These components differ from traditional column and beam structures in the following regard. 1) Continuous perforated uprights. 2) Hook-in connections. 3) Structural components for racking generally consist of cold formed thin gauge members. 0.2 Requirement for EN Standards for racking and shelving in addition to the Eurocodes
Because of the differences in shape of structural components, detailing and connection type's additional technical information to the Eurocodes are required, in order to have reliable state of the art guidance for the practicing designer involved in designing racking. The scope of CEN/TC 344 is to establish European Standards providing guidance for the specification, design, methods of installation, accuracy of build and guidance for the user on the safe use of steel static storage systems. This, together with the need for harmonised design rules was the reason that the European Racking Federation ERF / FEM Racking and Shelving has taken the initiative for CEN/TC 344. CEN/TC 344 is in the course of preparation of a number of European Standards for specific types of racking and shelving and particular applications which exist as European Standards (EN) and working group activities (WG) as follows: EN 15512: Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for structural design. EN 15620: Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking - Tolerances, deformations and clearances. EN 15629: Steel static storage systems - The specification of storage equipment. EN 15635: Steel static storage systems - The application and maintenance of storage equipment WG 3c: Terms and Definitions. WG 4:Technical Principles for the Design of Adjustable Drive-in and Drive-through Racking Systems. WG 5a:Technical principles for the Design of Pallet Racking Systems in Seismic Regions. WG 5b:Technical Principles for the Design of Drive-in and Drive-through Racking Systems in Seismic Regions. WG 6:Technical Principles for the Design of Shelving Systems. SIST EN 15512:2009

EN15512 may also be used for design cases not covered by the Eurocodes (other structures, other actions, other materials) serving as a reference document for other CEN TC´s concerning structural matters. EN 15512 is intended for use by committees drafting design related product, testing and execution standards, designers and structural engineers, relevant authorities. Numerical values for partial factors and other reliability parameters are basic values that provide an acceptable level of reliability assuming an appropriate level of workmanship and quality management. As part of the design process, reference to EN 15629 and EN 15635 shall be required to ensure that both specifier and designer are aware of the interface constraints in each other’s responsibility and to allow an effective design to be produced. SIST EN 15512:2009

This European Standard does not cover other generic types of storage structures. Specifically, this European Standard does not apply to mobile storage systems, drive-in, drive-through and cantilever racks or static steel shelving systems, nor does this European Standard establish specific design rules for the assessment of racking in seismic areas. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Zudem wird in der Norm auch auf Nebengebäude eingegangen, die Rackkomponenten als Hauptstrukturselemente nutzen, was die Vielseitigkeit und Anwendbarkeit der Richtlinien weiter erhöht. Ein weiterer Vorteil der EN 15512:2009 ist die Klarheit in Bezug auf die Grenzen ihrer Anwendung. Es wird deutlich festgelegt, dass die Norm nicht für mobile Lagersysteme, Durchlaufregale oder statische Stahlregale gilt. Diese präzise Abgrenzung hilft bei der Vermeidung von Missverständnissen und der Gewährleistung, dass die vorgesehenen Anforderungen gezielt und effektiv umgesetzt werden. Insgesamt bietet die EN 15512:2009 eine entscheidende Grundlage für die Gestaltung und Planung stabiler und sicherer Lagersysteme in der Industrie. Die Norm ist ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug für Ingenieure und Planer, um die strukturelle Integrität und die Sicherheit von verstellbaren Palettenregalen zu gewährleisten und somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer effizienten Lagerhaltung zu leisten.

La norme EN 15512:2009, intitulée "Systèmes de stockage statique en acier - Systèmes de rayonnages à palettes réglables - Principes pour la conception structurelle", établit des exigences essentielles pour la conception structurelle des systèmes de rayonnages à palettes fabriqués en acier. Cette norme s'applique à tous les types de rayonnages au sol conçus pour le stockage de charges unitaires, principalement soumis à des charges statiques. L'inclusion des systèmes non renforcés et renforcés renforce la portée de cette norme, permettant de répondre à divers besoins de stockage. L'un des points forts de la norme EN 15512:2009 est sa capacité à fournir des lignes directrices claires et détaillées pour la conception de bâtiments à rayonnages habillés, ce qui est crucial lorsque d'autres normes, comme l'EN 1993, ne couvrent pas certains aspects essentiels. Cela confère à la norme un rôle crucial dans l'harmonisation des pratiques de conception et de construction dans le secteur de la logistique et des entrepôts. De plus, les exigences de la norme s'étendent aux structures auxiliaires, où les composants de rayonnage jouent un rôle capital en tant que membres structuraux principaux. Cela souligne non seulement la polyvalence de la norme, mais aussi son importance pour assurer la sécurité et la fiabilité des installations de stockage. Cependant, il est important de noter que la norme EN 15512:2009 ne traite pas d'autres types de structures de stockage génériques. Elle exclut spécifiquement les systèmes de stockage mobiles, les rayonnages à palettisation par entraînement, les rayonnages à passage et les systèmes de rayonnages en acier statiques, sans établir de règles de conception spécifiques pour l'évaluation des structures en zones sismiques. Cela limite peut-être la portée de la norme, mais permet également une spécialisation approfondie dans le domaine des systèmes de rayonnages réglables.
