    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies requirements for elevating work platforms as defined in AS 2549. Does not apply to passenger goods lifts, builders' hoists or fixed elevating work platforms, nor does it apply to any matter relating to firefighting or any matter relating to vehicles upon which aerial devices are mounted, except to a vehicle being, while stationary, a stable support for the aerial device. It includes a section on tests to be conducted on elevating work platforms, and new sections on requirements for glass-reinforced plastic and pedestrian-controlled elevating work platforms. It is intended for use with AS 2550.10, which specifies the requirements for the safe use of elevating work platforms and AS 1418.1.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard specifies the requirements for elevating work platforms as defined in AS 2549. It does not apply to passenger and goods lifts, builders' hoists, fixed elevating work platforms, or mast climbing platforms.It does not apply to any matter relating to firefighting equipment or to any matter relating to the vehicles upon which aerial devices are mounted, except to a vehicle which, while stationary, is a stable support for the aerial device.NOTES:1 Alternative methods for determining compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.2 For typical elevating work platforms, see Figures B1 to B5, Appendix B.3 For typical baskets, platforms, outriggers, stabilizers and extendible axles, see Figures C1 to C11, Appendix C.
