Standards Development
This document specifies the requirements for dimensions, safety and performance of mobile working platforms made of prefabricated elements used as low height and low load capacity temporary work equipment.
This document applies to the design of mobile working platforms:
− with wheels;
− for assembly by one person;
− for use by one or more persons;
− with no more than one platform level;
− made of prefabricated elements with dimensions which are fixed by the design;
− with a platform height limited to 2,0 m;
− with minimum platform dimensions of 0,5 m x 1,0 m and maximum
− platform dimensions of 2,0 m x 3,5 m;
− used indoors or outdoors.
This document does not apply to:
− scaffolds according to EN 12810-1 and EN 12811-1;
− mobile access towers according to EN 1004-1;
− mobile ladders with platform according to EN 131-7;
− ladders with separate platform according to EN 131-8;
− where different load assumptions and verification methods are applied.
The need for this standard for temporary work at height equipment has arisen because mobile access towers with heights less than 2,50 m were previously outside of the scope of BS EN 1004:2004, (Mobile access and working towers made of prefabricated elements. Materials, dimensions, design loads, safety and performance requirements) which covered towers from 2,50m to 8,0m platform height when used outdoors and 12,0m when used indoors.
