scope:

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables for raising and/or lowering goods and/or persons associated with the movement of goods carried by the lifting table (i. e. not for passenger use). This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to lifting tables when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce the risks arising from the significant hazards. Both power operated and manually operated lifting tables are included whether stationary or mobile. This standard does not consider the power supply to the lifting table by internal combustion engine.
