Lifting platforms - Mast climbing work platforms

This standard specifies the special safety requirements for Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWP) which are temporarily installed and are manuelly or power operated and which are designed to be used by one or more persons from which to carry out work. The vertical moving components (work platform) are also used to move those same persons and their equipmenet and materials to and from a single boarding point. These restrictions differentiate MCWPs from Builder's hoists.

Hebebühnen - Mastgeführte Kletterbühnen

Die vorliegende Norm legt besondere Sicherheitsanforderungen an mastgeführte Kletterbühnen (MKB) fest, die vorübergehend aufgestellt werden, Hand- oder Kraftantrieb haben und zur Benutzung von einer oder mehreren Personen vorgesehen sind, die von der Kletterbühne aus Arbeiten durchführen. Die sich vertikal bewegenden Arbeitsbühne wird auch dazu verwendet, dieselben Personen und deren Ausrüstung sowie Materialien von einer einzigen Einstiegsstelle und zurück zu transportieren. Diese Einschränkungen unterscheiden MKB von Bauaufzügen.

Matériels de mise à niveau - Plates-formes de travail se déplaçant le long de mât(s)

La norme spécifie les règles de sécurité particulières aux plates-formes de travail se déplaçant le long de mât(s), installées d'une manière provisoire, mues manuellement ou mécaniquement et utilisées par une ou plusieurs personnes pour réaliser des travaux à partir de celles-ci. Les parties se déplaçant verticalement (plates-formes de travail) sont aussi utilisées pour déplacer ces mêmes personnes avec leur équipement et matériaux jusqu'à et depuis un point d'accès unique. Les PTDM se différencient des ascenseurs de chantier par ces restrictions.

This document is applicable to stationary and mobile vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered.
The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal.
This document does not exclude a person from entering a lifted vehicle on wheel supporting lifts, e.g. for special works or for periodical technical inspection, and vehicle lifts for rail-bound vehicles.
This document does not contain requirements for hazards which may arise on vehicle lifts where the carrying device can be tilted.
NOTE Noise does not play a role in vehicle lifts in the majority of cases and is therefore not considered in this document.
This document does not apply to:
- vehicle lifts movable when loaded;
- equipment for power driven parking of motor vehicles (see EN 14010:2003+A1:2009).

SIST EN 280-1:2022

1.1   This document 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 document 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)   work from the platform on external live electric systems;
c)   use of compressed gases for load bearing components;
d)   getting on and off the work platform at changing levels;
e)   specific applications (e.g. railway, ships) covered by National or local regulations.
1.3   This document does not apply to:
a)   machinery serving fixed landings (see e.g. EN 81-20:2020 and EN 81-50:2020, EN 12159:2012);
b)   fire-fighting and fire rescue appliances (see e.g. EN 1777:2010);
c)   unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see e.g. EN 1808:2015);
d)   elevating operator position on rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see EN 528:2021);
e)   tail lifts (see EN 1756-1:2021 and EN 1756-2:2004+A1:2009);
f)   mast climbing work platforms (see EN 1495:1997+A2:2009);

i)   aircraft ground support equipment (see e.g. EN 1915-1:2013 and EN 1915-2:2001+A1:2009);
j)   elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see EN ISO 3691-3:2016).
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 position;
2)   Type 2: Travelling with lifted work platform is controlled from a point of control at the chassis;
3)   Type 3: Travelling with lifted work platform is controlled from a point of control at the work platform.
NOTE   Type 2 and type 3 can be combined.

SIST EN 280-2:2022

This document, which is to be used in conjunction with EN 280-1:2022, specifies the additional safety requirements for MEWPs of Type 1 Group B equipped with a load lifting appliance. The load-lifting appliance is designed for lifting suspended loads only as part of the task being carried out by personnel from the work platform. This document deals with the additional hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to load lifting appliances either on the extending lifting structure or on the work platform, when the MEWP and load lifting appliance are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer of the MEWP. The significant hazards covered by this document are listed in Annex A.
This document does not cover the following:
a)   the use of a MEWP for lifting persons as a suspended load;
b)   the use of a MEWP for lifting suspended loads from a control position other than the work platform;
c)   requirements for lifting accessories;
d)   lifting or lowering of suspended loads for general materials handling as carried out by a crane;
e)   MEWPs compliant with EN 280-1:2022, 4.4.1.5 and/or 4.4.1.6 (enhanced stability and overload criteria);
f)   MEWPS others than Type1 Group B.
Load lifting appliance can be:
g)   fixed load attachment points on the work platform or on the extending lifting structure where the load can be positioned in reach of the personnel on the platform;
h)   lifting equipment for lifting or lowering the load with a stationary platform. The equipment is attached to the work platform or extending structure and may have a load lifting jib.
