SIST EN 15512:2021/oprA1:2021

Steel static storage systems - Adjustable pallet racking systems - Principles for structural design

This European Standard specifies the structural design requirements applicable to all types of adjustable beam pallet rack systems fabricated from steel members intended for the storage of unit loads and subject to predominantly static loads. Both un-braced and braced systems are included.
This European Standard gives guidelines for the design of clad rack buildings where requirements are not covered in EN 1993. The requirements of this European Standard also apply to ancillary structures, where rack components are employed as the main structural members.
This European Standard does not cover other generic types of storage structures. Specifically, this European Standard does not apply to mobile storage systems, drive-in, drive-through and cantilever racks or static steel shelving systems, nor does this European Standard establish specific design rules for the assessment of racking in seismic areas.

Overview

SIST EN 15512:2021/oprA1:2021 is a European Standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that sets out the principles for the structural design of steel static storage systems, specifically adjustable pallet racking systems. These systems are fabricated from steel and are designed to store unit loads under predominantly static loading conditions. The standard encompasses both braced and un-braced rack systems and provides essential structural design requirements to ensure stability, safety, and durability.

This standard also addresses design considerations for clad rack buildings, where rack components act as primary structural elements, complementing the design rules covered in EN 1993. However, it explicitly excludes certain storage types such as mobile storage, drive-in/drive-through and cantilever racks, static steel shelving, and seismic design criteria.

Key Topics

• Structural Design Requirements
  Guidelines focus on adjustable beam pallet rack systems built from steel members and cover critical factors like load capacity, stability, deformation limits, and member buckling resistance.

• Design Methods and Analysis
  SIST EN 15512:2021/oprA1:2021 outlines acceptable methods of structural analysis ranging from first-order linear analyses to second-order nonlinear calculations. It includes procedures to account for initial bow imperfections, global imperfections, and material behavior consistent with EN 1993.

• Clad Rack Buildings
  The standard provides design principles for clad rack buildings where rack components serve as main structural members, advising on additional requirements outside the scope of EN 1993.

• National Legislative Deviations
  The amendment incorporates country-specific deviations, including Dutch legislative requirements for structural safety, design working life expectations, wind load considerations, progressive collapse risk analysis, and storage of hazardous goods.

• Design Working Life
  Emphasizes a minimum design working life of 15 years for industrial applications and 50 years for shopping buildings, disallowing load reduction based on shorter periods.

Applications

SIST EN 15512:2021/oprA1:2021 is vital for multiple industries and applications that rely on safe and efficient warehouse storage solutions:

• Warehouse and Logistics Facilities
  Ensures the safe design of adjustable pallet racking systems that handle static loads in warehouses - essential for maintaining storage integrity and operational efficiency.

• Industrial Storage Systems
  Guides the construction and verification of steel storage racks in manufacturing plants and distribution centers where heavy unit loads are stored.

• Clad Rack Building Design
  Supports architects and structural engineers in designing buildings with rack systems as integral structural components, enhancing space utilization and cost-effectiveness.

• Safety-Critical Storage Environments
  Helps comply with regulations when storing hazardous materials or environments requiring enhanced structural safety and progressive collapse prevention measures.

Related Standards

• EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) – Design of steel structures, providing foundational rules for material behavior and structural analysis.
• EN 15620, EN 15629, EN 15635 – Non-structural measures related to storage equipment for improving overall safety and compliance.
• EN 1990 – Basis of structural design, particularly relevant for verifying structural safety and serviceability.
• National Annexes – Supplementary documents adapting EN 15512 provisions to country-specific regulatory frameworks and safety requirements.

---

SIST EN 15512:2021/oprA1:2021 is an essential standard for engineers, designers, and architects involved in designing and evaluating steel static storage systems, ensuring durability, safety, and compliance with European structural codes. Its comprehensive guidance supports the creation of reliable adjustable pallet racking systems critical to modern logistics and storage infrastructure.
