Scope

This International Standard specifies particular safety requirements for mast-climbing work platforms (MCWP) which are temporarily installed and are manually or power-operated, and which are designed to be used by one or more persons from which to carry out work. NOTE The vertical-moving components (work platforms) are also used to move those same persons and their equipment and materials to and from a single boarding point. These restrictions differentiate MCWP from builder’s hoists. This International Standard is also applicable to permanently installed MCWP. This International Standard is applicable to work platforms which are elevated by a drive system and guided by and moved along their supporting masts, where the masts may or may not require lateral restraint from separate supporting structures. This International Standard is applicable to any combination of the following alternatives: -- one or more masts; -- mast tied or untied; -- mast of fixed or variable length; -- masts vertical or inclined between 0° and 30° to the vertical; -- masts which are standing or hanging; -- movable or static base (chassis or base frame); -- manual or power-operated elevation; -- towed or self-powered ground travel on site, excluding road traffic regulation requirements; -- driven using electric, pneumatic, hydraulic motors or internal combustion engines. This International Standard identifies the hazards arising during the various phases in the life of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards and for the use of safe working practices. This International Standard does not specify the requirements for dealing with the hazards involved in the manoeuvring, erection or dismantling, fixing or removing of any materials or equipment which are not part of the MCWP, nor does it deal with the handling of specific hazardous materials. This International Standard does not specify the requirements for delivering persons and materials to fixed landing levels. Such equipment is referred to as lifts or hoists and is dealt with by other International Standards. This International Standard does not apply to mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) in accordance with ISO 16368, suspended access equipment in accordance with EN 1808 or lifting tables in accordance with EN 1570.
