Introduction
This standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
For machines designed and built according to the specifications of this Type C Standard the following applies:
"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."
When this standard was prepared it was assumed that:
 only trained staff would operate, repair or maintain the machine;
 components without special requirements are
1) sized in accordance with good engineering practice and methods of calculation including all types of
failure;
2) correctly constructed mechanically and electrically;
3) made of materials of adequate loading capacity and of suitable quality;
4) made of materials that are fit for that purpose.
 components are kept in a good repair and operating condition so that the required characteristics can be
maintained in spite of wear and tear;
 sizing of load bearing parts ensures safe operation of the machine in a loading range from 0 % to 100 %
of the nominal capacity and during testing conditions if applicable;
 details of particular conditions of use and the installation site are agreed between user and manufacturer;
 working area is adequately illuminated;
 installation site permits safe operation of the machine.

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard deals with the safety requirements for the following types of power-operated
storage equipment:
 storage carousels;
 storage lifts;
 mobile shelving, pallet racking and cantilever racking
with the objective of eliminating or minimising the hazards described in Clause 4. These hazards can arise
during installation, starting up, operation, maintenance, testing and dismantling of the equipment.
1.2 It is essential that the safety requirements and/or measures taken in this standard be applied to storage
equipment which operates indoors. Under difficult conditions, it is essential that additional hazard analysis and
safety measures be taken into account, e. g. outdoor conditions, freezer applications, high temperatures,
corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields, risk of explosive atmosphere, radioactive conditions, storage
goods which due to their nature could generate hazardous situations (e. g. molten metal, acids/alkalis, fragile
goods or explosives), effects of earthquakes and also contact with food.
1.3 Examples of power-operated storage equipment to which this standard applies are shown in Annex A.
1.4 With regard to buildings and parts of buildings, this standard applies only insofar that an assessment
regarding hazards and risks in connection with interfaces to the storage equipment is carried out.
1.5 Storage equipment whose only power source is directly used human labour or gravity are excluded
from the scope of application of this standard.
1.6 Power-operated storage equipment or parts of them do not fall under the regulations for passenger lifts.
They are intended to handle and store goods. They are not intended to transport passengers under normal
use (except for maintenance) and therefore not considered to be lifts (elevators).
1.7 This standard does not take hazards into account, which arise from noisy environments or
environments subject to electromagnetic interference outside the range quoted in EN 61000-6-2.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and the following
apply.

SIST EN 15095:2008
EN 15095:2007 (E)
3.2
storage lifts
designed to take goods placed on load carriers (e. g. storage containers). The in-built lift unit carries the load
carriers (e.g. storage containers) from an access opening to storage locations in a racking tower, or from a
storage location to an access opening. Storage lifts can have one or more access openings on one or more
levels (see Figure A.3)
3.3
mobile shelving
mobile shelving comprises a series of hand loaded adjustable load carrying surfaces (shelves) supported by
upright frames all of which is in turn fixed to a movable base unit. This base unit is supported on wheels
mounted in the base unit which run on rails mounted in or on the floor. The system is designed to be loaded
by hand with multiple loads all of which are substantially less than the total carrying capacity of the shelf. The
system is not designed to be loaded or unloaded by mechanical equipment (see Figure A.4)
3.4
mobile racking
mobile racking comprises a skeleton framework of fixed or adjustable design supporting unit loads generally
without the use of shelves. This skeleton framework is in turn fixed to movable base units supported on
wheels mounted in the base unit, which run on rails mounted in the floor. The system is designed for the
storage of unit loads where loading or unloading is generally by mechanical means (see Figure A.5)

4 Significant hazards
NOTE Under this section the significant hazards are listed:
4.1 Mechanical hazards
4.1.1 Crushing and shearing hazards
These hazards can occur, when parts move towards, relative to, or past one another, or towards, relative to or
past fixed parts whereby people or parts of their body can be crushed or severed.
4.1.2 Entanglement hazards
These hazards can occur, when projecting sharp edges, teeth, wedges, screws, lubricating nipples, shafts,
ends of shafts or similar items move in such way that people, parts of their body or their clothing can be
caught and carried along.
4.1.3 Drawing-in hazards
These hazards can occur, when parts move in such way that a narrow throat is formed in which people or
parts of their body or their clothing can be pulled in.
4.1.4 Hazards from impact/collision
These hazards can occur, when parts move relative to people in such way that they themselves or parts of
their body can be injured through being impacted or run into.
4.1.5 Hazards arising from objects falling out and/or dropping
These hazards can occur through objects falling out of and/or dropping from the storage equipment, parts of
the storage equipment or the stored goods.
4.1.6 Hazards arising from potential failure of structure
These hazards might be caused, for example, by failure of supporting parts or fastenings.
4.1.7 Hazards arising from slipping, stumbling or falling
These hazards can occur, for example, due to the construction of flooring in the area of mobile storage
equipment.
4.1.8 Hazards arising from potential lack of tipping stability
These hazards can occur for example due to incorrect motor power/braking, inappropriate wheel carriage
design.
4.2 Electrical power hazards
Electrical hazards can occur for example through:
9

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST EN 15095:2008
EN 15095:2007 (E)
 direct or indirect contact with live parts as a consequence of damage to the insulation or ingress of dirt,
water etc.;
 incorrect isolation of power supply to the system or parts of the system due to inappropriate circuit design.
4.3 Hazards through ignoring ergonomic principles in machine design
These hazards can arise for example, as a result of:
 badly arranged operating equipment and working places;
 excessive strain on operating staff in regard to speed and energy requirements.
4.4 Hazards caused through failure of power supply, failure of machine parts or other
functional faults
Hazards caused by failure of the power supply can occur when storage equipment or storage goods run
backwards or fall unintentionally.
Hazards caused by failure of machine parts, such as the failure of suspension chains.
4.5 Hazards arising from inappropriate design or failure of safety systems
These hazards can, for example, occur through:
 unfavourable positioning of emergency shutdown devices;
 inappropriate positioning of safety related devices;
 inappropriate choice of safety devices;
 missing or faulty interlocking of maintenance access covers with the drive.
4.6 Hazards caused through electromagnetic influences
These hazards can, for example, occur through:
 inappropriate design of electrical control system;
 inappropriate selection of electrical subassemblies.
4.7 List of significant hazards
Table 1 shows a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to
persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. It also contains the relevant clauses in this standard that
are necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with those hazards.
