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

This document specifies safety requirements and protective/risk reduction measures, and the means for their verification, for all types and sizes of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving a person(s) along with their necessary tools and materials at an elevated work location. This document also applies to MEWPs designed for applications requiring special access to specific work areas. These MEWPs can be either self-propelled or manually propelled and are used to elevate personnel to a level at which they can place, install, or retrieve objects or material on a routine basis. To facilitate operator access to the work area, the retraction of a portion of the MEWP's work platform guardrail system(s) can be necessary. This document is intended to serve as a guide for manufacturers and remanufacturers of MEWPs to achieve the following objectives: — elimination or reduction of accidents and personal injuries; — establishment of criteria for design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, testing and performance; — establishment and understanding by manufacturers and remanufacturers of their responsibilities. The design and manufacturing requirements of this document apply to all MEWPs manufactured or remanufactured on or after the effective date, but it is not applicable to rebuilt or reconditioned MEWPs. It identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards. This document is not applicable to a) permanently installed personnel-lifting appliances serving defined levels, b) firefighting and fire rescue appliances (see for example, EN 1777), c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see for example, EN 1808), d) elevating operator position on rail-dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see for example, EN 528), e) tail lifts (see for example, EN 1756-1:2001+A1:2008, EN 1756-2:2004+A1:2009), f) mast-climbing work platforms (see ISO 16369), g) fairground equipment, h) lifting tables with a lifting height of less than 2 m (see for example, EN 1570-1:2011+A1:2014), i) builder's hoists for persons and materials, j) aircraft ground-support equipment (see for example, EN-1915-1:2013, EN-1915-2:2001+A1:2009), k) digger derricks, l) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see for example, ISO 3691-3), m) elevating operator positions on cranes, n) certain requirements for insulating aerial devices on a chassis for use in live work on electrical installations (see Note 1), o) multi-purpose elevating platform powered industrial trucks (MPEPs) controlled by a single stand-up riding operator and intended to be used for manually picking and transporting small items at height, p) powered industrial trucks used to pick and place stock or inventory. NOTE 1 For requirements for use near live electrical installations, see ISO 16653-2. For requirements for use on live electrical installations, see IEC 61057. It does not cover hazards arising from: — use in potentially explosive atmospheres, — use of compressed gases for load-bearing components, — derailment and runaway of rail-mounted MEWPs, — work on live electrical systems (see Note 2 and Note 3). NOTE 2 Hazards arising from work on live electrical systems are addressed in IEC 61057. NOTE 3 For MEWPs that employ aerial devices used for live working, this document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61057, taking into consideration the potential exceptions from this document that are specified in IEC 61057.

Mobile elevating work platforms — Design, calculations, safety requirements and test methods relative to special features — Part 2: MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components

This document specifies the design, calculations, safety requirements and test methods for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) with non-conductive (insulating) components. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 16368. It is applicable to all types and sizes of MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components, including dielectric components designed and tested to meet the specific electrical properties consistent with the manufacturer's identification plate. This equipment is intended to move persons, tools and equipment to working positions where they can carry out work from a work platform located above a non-conductive (insulating) boom section. This document covers structural design calculations and the application of stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and tests done before MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components are first put into service. Annex A identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards. MEWPs covered in this document are not intended to have any of their components make contact with live parts of electrical installations. The electrical properties of a MEWP's non-conducting (insulating) components can provide electrical protection in case of inadvertent contact above the non-conductive boom component at the platform end. If a MEWP is equipped with a chassis insulating system, it can provide electrical protection for ground personnel in case of inadvertent contact above that system. This document is not applicable to MEWPs designed for or capable of operating in live working conditions (see IEC 61057). The electrical insulation level is limited to voltages experienced in electrical distribution systems 46 kV and below.

Elevating work platforms — Mast-climbing work platforms

ISO 16369:2007 specifies particular safety requirements for mast-climbing work platforms (MCWP) which are temporarily installed and are manually or power-operated, and which are designed to be used by one or more persons from which to carry out work. ISO 16369:2007 is also applicable to permanently installed MCWPs. ISO 16369:2007 is applicable to work platforms which are elevated by a drive system and guided by and moved along their supporting masts, where the masts may or may not require lateral restraint from separate supporting structures. ISO 16369:2007 is applicable to any combination of the following alternatives: one or more masts; mast tied or untied; mast of fixed or variable length; masts vertical or inclined between 0o and 30o to the vertical; masts which are standing or hanging; movable or static base (chassis or base frame); manual or power-operated elevation; towed or self-powered ground travel on site, excluding road traffic regulation requirements; driven using electric, pneumatic, hydraulic motors or internal combustion engines. ISO 16369:2007 identifies the hazards arising during the various phases in the life of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards and for the use of safe working practices. ISO 16369:2007 does not specify the requirements for dealing with the hazards involved in the manoeuvring, erection or dismantling, fixing or removing of any materials or equipment which are not part of the MCWP, nor does it deal with the handling of specific hazardous materials. ISO 16369:2007 does not specify the requirements for delivering persons and materials to fixed landing levels. Such equipment is referred to as lifts or hoists and is dealt with by other International Standards. ISO 16369:2007 does not apply to mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), suspended access equipment or lifting tables.
