Fahrzeuge der Binnenschiffahrt - Schwenkbäume
Diese Norm gilt für Schwenkbäume auf Fahrzeugen der Binnenschiffahrt. Sie legt die Anforderungen und Prüfbedingungen fest, die aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen eingehalten werden müssen. Schwenkbäume dienen dem Übersetzen von Besatzungsmitgliedern an Land und zurück zum Ausbringen der Seile beim Festmachen des Schiffes sowie beim Lösen, insbesondere an Ufern mit Böschungen, wenn keine andere sichere Möglichkeit besteht, in diesen Fällen an Land zu kommen.
Bateaux de navigation intérieure - Sauterelles
Cette norme s'applique aux sauterelles utilisées sur les bateaux de navigation intérieure. Elle spécifie les exigences et conditions d'essai qui, pour des raisons de sécurité, doivent être respectées. La sauterelle est utilisée par l'équipage des bateaux pour gagner la terre ferme et retourner au bateau pour filer le cordage pendant la fixation et le détachement du bateau surtout lorsque celui-ci se trouve à proximité de la rive et au cas où il n'y a pas d'autre possibilité sûre de gagner la terre ferme.
