Mobile elevating work platforms - Part 1: Design calculations - Stability criteria - Construction - Safety - Examinations and tests
1.1 This document specifies safety requirements and measures for all types and sizes of Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP, see 3.1) 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.
This document also covers static elevating work platforms of group B (see 1.4).
NOTE Machines designed for the handling of goods which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable equipment are regarded as MEWPs.
1.2 This document 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.
It does not cover the hazards arising from:
a) use in potentially explosive atmospheres;
b) electromagnetic incompatibility;
c) work from the platform on external live electric systems;
d) use of compressed gases for load bearing components;
e) getting on and off the work platform at changing levels;
f) specific applications (e.g. railway, ships) covered by National or local regulations.
1.3 This document does not apply to:
a) machinery serving fixed landings (see e.g. EN 81-1 and EN 81-2, EN 12159);
b) fire-fighting and fire rescue appliances (see e.g. EN 1777);

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
The object of this document is to define rules for safeguarding persons and objects against the risk of
accidents associated with the operation of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).
— This document does not repeat all the general technical rules applicable to every electrical,
mechanical or structural component.
— The safety requirements of this document have been drawn up on the basis that MEWPs are
periodically maintained according to manufacturers' instructions, working conditions, frequency of
use and national regulations.
It is assumed that MEWPs are used only by qualified and trained operators.
It is also assumed that MEWPs are checked for function daily by the operator before start of work and
are not put into operation unless all required control and safety devices/functions are available and in
working order.
If a MEWP is seldom used, the checks may be made before start of work.
— As far as possible this document sets out only the requirements that materials and equipment need
to meet in the interest of safety, and it is assumed that persons operating MEWPs are adequately
trained.
— Where for clarity an example of a safety measure is given in the text, this does not need to be
considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is
permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved.
— As no satisfactory explanation could be found for the dynamic factors used for stability calculations
in previous national standards, the results of the tests carried out by the former CEN/TC 98/WG 1 to
determine a suitable factor and stability calculation method for MEWPs have been adopted. The test
method is described in Annex C (informative) as a guide for manufacturers wishing to use higher or
lower operating speeds and to take advantage of developments in control systems.
Similarly, to avoid the unexplained inconsistencies in coefficients of utilization for wire ropes found in
other standards for lifting devices, appropriate extracts of the widely accepted standard DIN 15020-1
have been taken into 4.5.2 and Annex D (normative) with a worked example in Annex E (informative).
This document may also be used as guidance for static elevating work platforms where the vertical
projection of the centre of the area of the platform can be outside the tipping lines.

Introduction
This standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.
The object of this European Standard is to define rules for safeguarding persons and objects against the
risk of accidents associated with the operation of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).
— This European Standard does not repeat all the general technical rules applicable to every electrical,
mechanical or structural component.
— The safety requirements of this European Standard have been drawn up on the basis that MEWPs
are periodically maintained according to manufacturers' instructions, working conditions, frequency
of use and national regulations.
It is assumed that MEWPs are used only by qualified and trained operators.
It is also assumed that MEWPs are checked for function daily by the operator before start of work and
are not put into operation unless all required control and safety devices/functions are available and in
working order.
If a MEWP is seldom used, the checks may be made before start of work.
— As far as possible this European Standard sets out only the requirements that materials and
equipment need to meet in the interest of safety, and it is assumed that persons operating MEWPs
are adequately trained.
— Where for clarity an example of a safety measure is given in the text, this does not need to be
considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is
permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved.
— As no satisfactory explanation could be found for the dynamic factors used for stability calculations
in previous national standards, the results of the tests carried out by the former CEN/TC 98/WG 1 to
determine a suitable factor and stability calculation method for MEWPs have been adopted. The test
method is described in Annex B (informative) as a guide for manufacturers wishing to use higher or
lower operating speeds and to take advantage of developments in control systems.
Similarly, to avoid the unexplained inconsistencies in coefficients of utilization for wire ropes found in
other standards for lifting devices, appropriate extracts of the widely accepted standard DIN 15020-1
have been taken into 5.5.2 and Annex C (normative) with a worked example in Annex D (informative).
