ISO/FDIS 16368

Mobile elevating work platforms — Design, calculations, safety requirements and test methods

ISO 16368:2010 specifies safety requirements and preventive measures, and the means for their verification, for all types and sizes of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving persons to working positions. It gives the structural design calculations and stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and security tests to be applied before a MEWP is first put into service, identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of those hazards.

Plates-formes élévatrices mobiles de personnel — Conception, calculs, exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai

L'ISO 16368:2010 spécifie des exigences de sécurité et des mesures de prévention, ainsi que les moyens de les vérifier, pour tous les types et tailles de plates-formes élévatrices mobiles de personnel (PEMP) destinées à déplacer des personnes vers une position de travail. Elle fournit les calculs de conception de la structure et les critères de stabilité, la construction, les examens et les essais de sécurité à appliquer avant la première mise en service des PEMP. Elle identifie les phénomènes dangereux résultant de l'utilisation des PEMP et décrit des méthodes pour éliminer ou réduire ces phénomènes.
