Sicherheitsanforderungen an Hubtische

1.1   Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt Sicherheitsanforderungen für Hubtische zum Heben und/oder Senken von Gütern und/oder Personen in Zusammenhang mit der Bewegung der vom Hubtisch gehobenen Güter (d. h.d. h. nicht für die Benutzung von Personen allein).
1.2   Diese Europäische Norm behandelt von Hubtischen ausgehende signifikante Gefährdungen, wenn diese bestimmungsgemäß unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen (siehe Abschnitt 4) benutzt werden. Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die geeigneten technischen Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung der Risiken, die sich aus den zutreffenden Gefährdungen ergeben.
1.3   Sowohl kraftbetriebene als auch handbetriebene Hubtische, die ortsfest oder ortsveränderlich sein können, werden erfasst.
1.4   Diese Europäische Norm findet keine Anwendung auf folgende Geräte:
-   dauerhaft eingebaute Hubtische, die eine Kabine besitzen und festgelegte Ebenen eines Gebäudes anfahren;
-   Hubtische, deren Hubgeschwindigkeit 0,15 m/s überschreitet (es sei denn der Hubtisch ist sicher durch die Einbauposition und es werden keine Personen transportiert);
-   kraftbetriebene Hubplattformen für Behinderte;
-   fahrbare Hubtische als Flughafenbodengeräte;
-   Hubtische, die als Teil eines Aufzuges nach der Aufzugsrichtlinie benutzt werden;

Foreword
This document (prEN 1570:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 98 “Lifting
platforms”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1570:1998.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this
document.
Introduction
This standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN 12100.
This standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming
with the Essential Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. In addition, lifting
tables should comply as appropriate with EN 12100 for hazards which are not covered in this
standard.
Where, for clarity, an example of a safety measure is given in the text this shall not 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.
While producing this standard it was assumed that where there is a special requirement for a low
noise level, e. g. hospital applications, theatre applications etc. this will be specified by the customer
and appropriate measures taken by the manufacturer.
While producing this standard, it was assumed that only trained persons using the equipment in
accordance with manufacturers instructions operate the lifting tables and that the working area is
adequately lit.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables for raising and/or
lowering goods and/or persons associated with the movement of goods carried by the lifting table (i. e.
not for passenger use).
1.2 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to lifting tables when they
are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This
European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce the risks
arising from the significant hazards.
1.3 Both power operated and manually operated lifting tables are included whether stationary or
mobile.
1.4 This European Standard does not apply to the following equipment:
 permanently installed lifting tables, serving specific levels of a building and fitted with a car;
 lifting tables whose travel speed exceeds 0,15 m/s (unless safe by position and non person
carrying);
 power operated lifting platforms for persons with impaired mobility;
 mobile lifting tables for airport ground support equipment;
 lifting tables used as part of a lift under the “Lift Directive”;
 lifting tables used on ships;
 mobile elevating work platforms;
 vehicle lifts for maintenance;
 mobile lifting tables used for fire fighting;
 mobile lifting tables used as fork lift trucks, and order pickers;
 mobile lifting tables with a horizontal travelling speed of more than 1,6 m/s;
 rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment;
 theatre stage lifts;
 scissor lift pallet trucks;
 suspended lifting tables.
1.5 This standard does not consider the power supply to the lifting table by internal combustion
engine.
This standard does not establish the additional requirements for:
 operation in severe conditions (e. g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic
fields);
 operation subject to special rules (e. g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines);
 handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e. g. molten metal,
acids, radiating materials, especially brittle loads);
 hazards occurring during construction, transportation and disposal;
 equipment installed on the load platform or replacing it;
 integration into systems or other machines, control from more than two control stations, etc.;
 cable-less controls;
 lifting tables where the hydraulic pressure is derived directly from gas pressure.
