Describes the technical specification to allow the design of racking and shelving in its various forms such as adjustable pallet racking (APR), crane serviced racking, drive-in racking (DIR), cantilever racking and shelving systems, including their various forms of construction, using manually operated and controlled mechanical handling systems.

This European Standard supplies guidelines for the technical specification to allow the design of racking and shelving in its various forms such as adjustable pallet racking (APR), crane serviced racking, drive-in racking (DIR), cantilever racking and shelving systems, including their various forms of construction, using manually operated and controlled mechanical handling systems. Some other forms of storage equipments are only partially covered and further consideration, beyond the scope of this document, may be required.

This European Standard gives guidance for the specifier of storage systems to coordinate suppliers of all equipment including individual responsibilities.

This European Standard does not cover storage equipments manufactured from materials other than steel (except for certain accessories) and equipment intended to be used for domestic storage purposes.
