ISO/DIS 18893
Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO

member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical

committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has

the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in

liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard ISO 18893 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 214, MEWPS-SAFETY

PRINCIPLES, INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION, Subcommittee SC , .

This second/third/... edition cancels and replaces the first/second/... edition (), [clause(s) / subclause(s) / table(s) /

ISO/DIS 18893
Introduction

This International Standard is one of a series of standards produced by ISO/TC 214 as part of its program of work

regarding standardization of terminology, ratings, general principles (technical performance requirements and risk

assessment), safe requirements, test methods, maintenance and operation for elevating work platforms used to

raise (elevate) and position personnel (and related work tools and materials) to a work position where a work task

is to be performed.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 18893
Mobile elevating work platforms — Safety requirements,
inspection, maintenance and operation
1 Scope
1.1 Technical safety requirements

This standard applies to all Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPS) having a work platform that can be used to

position persons, along with their necessary tools and materials, at work locations. MEWPS are power operated

with primary functions controlled from the work platform. These functions may include drive.

1.2 This standard applies to MEWPS to achieve the following objectives:
a) Prevention of personal injuries, property damage and accidents.
b) Establishment of criteria for inspection, maintenance and operation.
2 Normative references

The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of

this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these

publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to

investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For

undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC

maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

a) ANSI/NFPA 505 Powered Industrial Trucks, Including Type Designations, Areas of Use Maintenance, and

Operation

b) ISO 16368 Mobile elevating work platforms—Design calculations, safety requirements and test methods

c) ISO 18878 MEWPS—Training of operators
3 Terms and definitions

4 General Requirements

The requirements of this standard shall apply except where national or local regulations are more stringent.

4.1 Basic principles

The information in this standard shall be supplemented by good job management, safety control, and the

application of sound principles of safety, training, inspection, maintenance, application and operation. All data

available regarding the parameters of intended use and expected environment must be considered. Those with

direct control over the application and operation of MEWPs shall be responsible for the conformance with good

safety practices. Decisions on the use and operation of the MEWPs shall always be made with due consideration

for the fact that the machine will be carrying persons whose safety is dependent on those decisions.

The operation of any MEWP is subject to certain hazards that can be protected against only by the exercise of

intelligence, care, and common sense and not by mechanical means. It is essential to have competent, careful

persons trained in the intended use, safe operation, maintenance and service of this type of equipment

4.2 Manuals
4.2.1 Machine manual(s).
The custodian shall keep and maintain a copy(ies) of the:

See ISO 16368 Mobile elevating work platforms—Design calculations, safety requirements and test methods for

manual requirements
a) Operating manual
b) Maintenance manual
c) Parts manual
d) Repair manual

The operating manual and maintenance manual shall be provided with each rental, lease, or sale delivery and shall

be stored in the weather resistant storage compartment on the MEWPS (note mass replace). Manual(s) are

considered an integral part of the MEWPs and are vital to communicate necessary safety information to owners,

users and operators. In addition, repair and parts manuals should be provided with each sale delivery to the

maintenance and repair persons.
4.3 Record retention
The following records shall be retained:

a) Name and address of the purchaser of each MEWP by serial number and date of delivery shall be retained for

at least 4 years.

b) Records of the person(s) trained in the operation of a MEWP shall be retained for at least 4 years.

c) Written records of the frequent and annual inspections shall be retained for at least 4 years. The records shall

include deficiencies found, corrective action accomplished and the identification of the person(s) performing

the inspection.

d) Written records of all repairs accomplished on the MEWP shall include the date of any such repair, a

description of the work accomplished and identification of the person(s) performing the repair. These records

shall be retained for at least 4 years.
