Mobile elevating work platforms - Design calculations - Stability criteria - Construction - Safety - Examinations and tests

1.1   This European Standard 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.
NOTE   Machines designed for the handling of goods which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable equipment are regarded as MEWPs.
1.2   This European Standard 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 European Standard 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);
c)   unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see e.g. EN 1808);
d)   elevating operator position on rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see EN 528);
e)   tail lifts (see EN 1756-1 and EN 1756-2);
f)   mast climbing work platforms (see EN 1495);
g)   fairground equipment;
h)   lifting tables (see EN 1570);
i)   aircraft ground support equipment (see e.g. EN 1915-1 and EN 1915-2);
j)   elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see EN 1726-2).
1.4   Classification:
MEWPs are divided into two main groups:
a)   Group A:   MEWPs where the vertical projection of the centre of the area of the platform in all platform configurations at the maximum chassis inclination specified by the manufacturer is always inside the tipping lines.
b)   Group B:   All other MEWPs.
Relating to travelling, MEWPs are divided into three types:
1)   Type 1   Travelling is only allowed with the MEWP in its transport configuration;
2)   Type 2   Travelling with raised work platform is controlled from a point of control at the chassis;
3)   Type 3   Travelling with raised work platform is controlled from a point of control at the work platform.
NOTE   Type 2 and type 3 can be combined.

1.1 Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in ukrepe za vse tipe in velikosti premičnih dvižnih delovnih ploščadi (MEWP, glej 3.1), ki so namenjene premikanju oseb na delovna mesta, kjer opravljajo delo na delovni ploščadi (WP), z namenom, da osebe prihajajo na delovno ploščad in odhajajo z nje le na dostopnih mestih na nivoju tal ali šasiji.
OPOMBA: Stroji za ravnanje z blagom, ki so opremljeni z delovnimi ploščadmi kot zamenljivo opremo, se štejejo za premične dvižne delovne ploščadi.
1.2 Ta evropski standard se uporablja za konstrukcijske izračune, merila stabilnosti, varnostne preglede in preskuse, preden se dajo premične dvižne delovne ploščadi prvič v uporabo. Opredeljuje nevarnosti, ki izhajajo iz uporabe premičnih dvižnih delovnih ploščadi in opisuje načine za odpravo ali zmanjšanje teh nevarnosti.
Ne zajema nevarnosti, ki izhajajo iz:
a) uporabe v potencialno eksplozivnih atmosferah;
b) elektromagnetne nezdružljivosti;
c) dela s ploščadi na zunanjih električnih sistemih pod napetostjo;
d) uporabe stisnjenih plinov za nosilne sestavne dele;
e) prihajanja na ploščad in odhajanja z nje z drugih nivojev;
f) posebnih uporab (npr. železnica, ladje), ki jih urejajo nacionalni ali lokalni predpisi.
1.3 Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za:
a) stroje za dvigovanje do stalnih nivojev (glej npr. standarde EN 81-1 in EN 81-2, EN 12159);
b) gasilske in reševalne enote (glej npr. standard EN 1777);
c) nevodene delovne košare, ki visijo z dvižnih naprav (glej npr. standard EN 1808);

1.4 Klasifikacija:
Premične dvižne delovne ploščadi so razdeljene v dve glavni skupini:
a) Skupina A: Premične dvižne delovne ploščadi, pri katerih je navpična projekcija središčnega dela ploščadi pri vseh oblikah ploščadi pri največjem naklonu šasije, ki ga določi proizvajalec, vedno znotraj zunanjih linij.
b) Skupina B: Vse druge premične dvižne delovne ploščadi.
Kar zadeva pomikanje, se premične dvižne delovne ploščadi delijo na tri tipe:
1) tip 1: pomikanje je dovoljeno le, če je premična dvižna delovna ploščad v konfiguraciji prevoza;
2) tip 2: pomikanje z dvignjeno delovno ploščadjo se nadzira s kontrolne točke na šasiji;
3) tip 3: pomikanje z dvignjeno delovno ploščadjo se nadzira s kontrolne točke na delovni ploščadi.

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 also assumed that MEWPs are checked for function daily before start of work and are not put into
operation unless all required control and safety devices are available and in working order.
If a MEWP is seldom used, the checks may be made before start of work.
Furthermore it is assumed that persons on the work platform in case of power supply failure are not
incapacitated and can assist in the emergency lowering.
— 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 utilisation 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).

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard 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.
NOTE Machines designed for the handling of goods which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable
equipment are regarded as MEWPs.
1.2 This European Standard 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 European Standard 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);
c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see e.g. EN 1808);
d) elevating operator position on rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see EN 528);
e) tail lifts (see EN 1756-1 and EN 1756-2);
f) mast climbing work platforms (see EN 1495);
g) fairground equipment;
h) lifting tables (see EN 1570-1);
i) aircraft ground support equipment (see e.g. EN 1915-1 and EN 1915-2);
j) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see EN 1726-2).
1.4 Classification:
MEWPs are divided into two main groups:
a) Group A: MEWPs where the vertical projection of the centre of the area of the platform in all platform
configurations at the maximum chassis inclination specified by the manufacturer is always inside the
tipping lines.

EN 280:2013+A1:2015 (E)
b) Group B: All other MEWPs.
Relating to travelling, MEWPs are divided into three types:
1) Type 1: Travelling is only allowed with the MEWP in its transport configuration;
2) Type 2: Travelling with raised work platform is controlled from a point of control at the chassis;
