Introduction
This document is one of a series of standards produced by CEN/TC 10/SC 1 “Building hoists” as part of
the CEN programme of work to produce machinery safety standards.
The document is a type-C standard relating to safety for builder’s hoists for goods.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate
with EN ISO 12100:2010 for hazards which are not covered by 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.

Introduction
This document is one of a series of standards produced by CEN/TC 10/SC 1 “Building hoists” as part of
the CEN programme of work to produce machinery safety standards.
The document is a type-C standard relating to safety for builder’s hoists for goods.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
a) machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
b) health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
c) machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
d) machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
e) service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
f) consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate
with EN ISO 12100:2010 for hazards which are not covered by 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.

1 Scope
1.1 This document deals with power-operated temporarily installed builder’s hoists (referred to as
“hoists” in this standard) intended for use by persons who are permitted to enter sites of engineering and
construction, serving landing levels, having a load-carrying device:
— designed for the transportation of goods only;
— guided;
— travelling vertically or along a path within 15 degrees max. of the vertical;
— supported or sustained by drum-driven wire rope, chain, rack and pinion or an expanding linkage
mechanism;
— where masts, when erected, may or may not require support from separate structures;
— which permits the access of instructed persons during loading and unloading;
— which are driven by appointed persons;
— which permits, if necessary, during erection, dismantling, maintenance and inspection, the access
and travel by persons who are competent and authorized.
1.2 The document identifies hazards as listed in Annex D which arise during the various phases in the
life of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when
used as intended by the manufacturer.
1.3 This document does not specify the additional requirements for:
— operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields);
— lightning protection;
— operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres);
— electromagnetic compatibility (emission, immunity);
— handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal,
acids/bases, radiating materials, fragile loads);
— the use of combustion engines;
— the use of remote controls;
— hazards occurring during manufacture;
— hazards occurring as a result of mobility;
— hazards occurring as a result of being erected over a public road;
— earthquakes;
— noise.

4 Safety requirements and/or measures
4.1 General
4.1.1 Design considerations
The design of the hoist shall consider safe use, erection, dismantling and maintenance. It shall be possible
to erect the hoist using safe access methods such as those offered by the platform or equivalent facilities.
The design of all components that have to be handled during erection, e.g. mast sections, shall have their
weight assessed against manual handling. Where the permissible weight for manual handling is exceeded,
the manufacturer shall make available suitable lifting equipment. All removable and detachable covers
shall be retained by captive fastenings.
Builders' hoists for goods shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this
clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for
relevant, but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
4.1.2 Proof calculation
The objective of this calculation is to prove theoretically that a hoist, taking into account the service
conditions agreed between the user, designer and/or manufacturer, as well as the states during erection,
dismantling and transport, has been designed in conformance to the safety requirements to prevent
mechanical hazards.
The proof of competence according to this standard shall be carried out by using the general principles
and methods appropriate for this purpose and corresponding with the recognized state of the art in
mechanical design. For guidance governing analysis of structural members and their connections (e.g.
fatigue, welding, bolts), EN 13001-3-1:2012+A2:2018 is recommended. For aluminium, consider
EN 1999-1-1:2007/A2:2013.
