UNE-EN 1570-2:2017

1.1This European Standard specifies the safety requirements applicable to lifting tables presenting the following characteristics:¾ðserving 2 or more fixed landings of a building or construction;¾ðable to pass landings;¾ðdesigned exclusively for lifting or lowering goods and not persons;¾ðonly accessible to persons during the loading/unloading phases;¾ðwith a travel speed of no more than 0.15 m/s;¾ðpermanently installed.1.2This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to lifting tables when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Article 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating and reducing the risks arising from the significant hazards.1.3This European Standard does not apply to the following equipment:¾ðpermanently installed lifting tables, serving specific levels of a building, with a vertical travel speed exceeding 0.15 m/s (EN 81-31);¾ðlifting tables serving not more than two fixed landings of a building and not passing a landing (EN 1570-1); ¾ðlifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a building for lifting operators, with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s (prEN 1570-3);¾ðlifting tables carrying operators and installed in full enclosures (prEN 1570-3);¾ðlifting tables used on ships;¾ðlifts designed for lifting artists and stage set features during artistic performances;¾ðlifts driven by pusher chains.1.4This European Standard does not establish the additional requirements for:¾ðelectromagnetic compatibility;¾ðoperation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields);¾ðoperation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines);¾ðhandling 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));¾ðhazards occurring during construction, transportation and disposal;¾ðequipment installed on or replacing the load platform;¾ðintegration into broader systems or other machines, etc.;¾ðcable-less controls;¾ðlifting tables where the hydraulic pressure is derived directly from gas pressure;¾ðlifting tables powered by internal combustion engines.
