This document does not apply to:
—   stands with a Load Limit ≤ 3 kg;
—   camera stands;
—   wooden stands.
This document also specifies the information to be communicated between manufacturers and users, and the details that are to be provided with regards to the intended use of the machinery installations.
The significant hazards dealt with in this document are identified in Clause 4.

Razvedrilna tehnologija - Stroji za odre in druge prireditvene prostore - 2. del: Varnostne zahteve za stojala in ogrodna dvigala

Ta dokument določa varnostne zahteve v smislu Direktive 42/2006/ES, »Direktiva o strojih«.
Odstopanja od standarda EN 17206, določena v tem delu, temeljijo na posebnih obratovalnih pogojih za stojala in se jih ne uporablja za drugo strojno opremo.
Ta dokument se uporablja za ročno upravljana stojala in/ali stojala na električni pogon z omejitvijo razvedrilne obremenitve več kot 3 kg.
OPOMBA 1: Omejitev razvedrilne obremenitve je največja obremenitev, za katero je element dvižne opreme zasnovan, da jo dvigne, spusti ali drži.
Ta dokument se uporablja za stojala na mestih montaže in v odrskih in produkcijskih prizoriščih za dogodke in gledališčne produkcije.
V sklopu področja uporabe tega standarda se stojala uporabljajo za namene dviganja, spuščanja in držanja bremen (npr. elementov scene, ogrodij, opreme za razsvetljavo in avdiovizualne opreme). Mogoče je postaviti več stojal, da nosijo skupno breme.
Ta dokument ne zajema instalacij, ki se uporabljajo za prevoz oseb ali za premikanje bremen nad osebami.
Ta dokument zajema samo instalacije, kjer se osebe nahajajo pod bremenom, ko instalacije mirujejo.
OPOMBA 2:   Operater morda mora kratek čas zaradi operativnih razlogov med postavitvijo stati pod premikajočim se bremenom.
Ta dokument se uporablja tudi za instalacije z novimi tehnologijami ali prilagojenimi zasnovami, ki niso izrecno poimenovane v tem dokumentu, vendar se uporabljajo v enakih načinih delovanja.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za:
– stojala z omejitvijo obremenitve ≤ 3 kg;
– stojala za kamero;
– lesena stojala.
Ta dokument določa tudi informacije, ki si jih morajo sporočati proizvajalci in uporabniki, in podrobnosti, ki jih je treba zagotoviti v zvezi s predvideno uporabo strojne opreme.
Najpomembnejša tveganja, ki jih obravnava ta dokument, so navedena v točki 4.
