scope:

1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety requirements forindustrial lifting tables for raising and/or lowering goods and theoperator(s): ? where the lifting table does not pass a fixedlanding; ? serving not more than 2 fixed landings. 1.2 ThisEuropean Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent tolifting tables when they are used as intended by the operatinginstructions and under the conditions foreseen (includingforeseeable misuse) with the operating instructions (see Clause 4).This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measuresto eliminate or reduce the risks arising from the significanthazards. 1.3 Both power operated and manually operated liftingtables are included whether stationary or mobile. 1.4 This EuropeanStandard does not apply to the following equipment: ? liftingtables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a building, forlifting goods with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s(EN 1570-2); ? lifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landingsof a building for lifting operators, with a vertical travel speednot exceeding 0,15 m/s (EN 1570-3); ? lifting tables carryingoperators and installed in full enclosures (EN 1570-3); ?permanently and temporarily installed lifting tables, servingspecific levels of a building for lifting operators, with avertical travel speed exceeding 0,15 m/s (EN 81-1 and EN 81-2); ?lifting tables with flat or toothed belts lifting systems for thecarrying of operators; ? lifting tables whose vertical travel speedexceeds 0,15 m/s (unless safe by position and non person carrying);? power operated lifting platforms for persons with impairedmobility (EN 81-41); ? mobile lifting tables for airport groundsupport equipment (EN 1915-2 and EN 12312-1); ? lifting tableswhich are designed as part of a lift according to Directive(95/16/EC); ? lifting tables used on ships; ? mobile elevating workplatforms (EN 280); ? static elevating work platforms; ? vehiclelifts for maintenance (EN 1493); ? mobile lifting tables used forfire fighting (EN 1777); ? mobile lifting tables used as fork lifttrucks and order pickers; ? mobile lifting tables with a horizontaltravelling speed of more than 1,6 m/s; ? rail dependent storage andretrieval equipment (EN 528); EN 1570-1:2011+A1:2014 (E) 7 ?theatre stage lifts intended to move performers; ? scissor liftpallet trucks (EN ISO 3691-5); ? suspended lifting tables; ?lifting tables operated by pushing chains. 1.5 This standard doesnot establish the additional requirements for: ? electromagneticcompatibility; ? operation in severe conditions (e.g. extremeclimates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields); ?operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosiveatmospheres, mines); ? handling of loads, the nature of which couldlead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids, radiatingmaterials, especially brittle loads); ? hazards occurring duringconstruction, transportation and disposal; ? equipment installed onthe load platform or replacing it; ? integration into systems orother machines, control from more than two control stations, etc.;? cable-less controls; ? lifting tables where the hydraulicpressure is derived directly from gas pressure; ? the power supplyto the lifting table by internal combustion engine.
