General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 147/WG 22 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Manually controlled load manipulating devices" and is responsible for: To prepare a draft standard on manually controlled load manipulating devices within the scope of CEN/TC 147. This committee has published 2 standards.
CEN/TC 147/WG 22 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: To prepare a draft standard on manually controlled load manipulating devices within the scope of CEN/TC 147. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This document specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating devices (herein referred to as manipulators), powered by an energy other than human energy, to assist an operator in the handling of loads.
This document does not cover:
- mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs or counterweights;
- manipulating robots;
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
This document does not establish the additional requirements for:
- operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as : freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields);
- operation subject to special rules;
- handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads);
- hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100-2 applies.
This document is applicable to manipulators which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

This document specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating cranes (herein referred to as manipulators), powered by an energy other than human energy, to assist an operator in the handling of loads.
This document does not cover:
- mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs, counterweights or automatons;
- manipulating robots;
- operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields);
- operation subject to special rules;
- handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads);
NOTE High risk applications are dealt by EN 13135:2018 and EN 13001-2:2021.
- hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100:2010 applies.
This document is not applicable to manipulators manufactured before the date of its publication.
