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.
