Publication date:   Jan 9, 2025

Scope

1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables which fulfil the following characteristics:
- serving more than 2 fixed landings, and
- having a vertical travel speed of no more than 0,15 m/s, unless safe by position, and
- raising or lowering goods and not person(s), and
- only accessible to persons during the loading/unloading phases, and
- permanently installed.
1.2 This document does not apply to the following equipment:
- permanently installed lifting tables, serving specific levels of a construction, with a vertical travel speed exceeding 0,15 m/s (EN 81-31);
- lifting tables serving not more than two fixed landings of a construction (EN 1570-1);
- lifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a construction for lifting operators, with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s;
- lifting tables carrying operators and installed in enclosures with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s;
- lifting tables used on ships;
- lifting tables designed for artists and stage set features during artistic performances.
1.3 This document does not consider the additional requirements for:
- electromagnetic compatibility;
- operation in severe conditions (e.g. strong magnetic fields);
- operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines);
- handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids, radiating materials, particularly brittle loads, loose loads (gravel, tubes));
- hazards occurring during construction, transportation, and disposal;
- equipment installed on the load platform or the replacing or maintaining of it;
- integration into broader systems or other machines, etc.;
- cable-less controls, i.e. wireless;
- lifting tables where the hydraulic pressure is derived directly from gas pressure;
- lifting tables powered by internal combustion engines.
This document is not applicable to lifting tables manufactured before the date of its publication.
