UNI ISO 16368:2024
Piattaforme di lavoro mobili elevabili - Progettazione, calcoli, requisiti di sicurezza e metodi di prova
Data disponibilità: 05 dicembre 2024
Adotta: ISO 16368:2024

La norma specifica i requisiti di sicurezza e le misure di protezione/riduzione del rischio, nonché i mezzi per la loro verifica, per tutti i tipi e le dimensioni di piattaforme di lavoro mobili elevabili (MEWP) destinate alla movimentazione di una o più persone insieme agli strumenti e ai materiali necessari in un luogo di lavoro elevato.
________

MEWP UNI ISO 16368:2024 Definition

3.22 mobile elevating work platform

MEWP
machine/device intended for moving a person(s), along with their necessary tools and materiai to an elevated work location, consisting of at least a work platform (3.58) with controls, an extending st ructure (3.8) and a chassis (.3.3)
________

MEWP EN 280-1:2022 Definition

3.1 mobile elevating work platform

MEWP
mobile machine that is intended to move persons to working positions where they are carrying out work from the work platform with the intention that persons are getting on and off the work platform only at access positions at ground level or on the chassis and which consists as a minimum of a work platform with controls, an extending structure and a chassis
________

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 16368:2010), which has been technically revised.

The main changes are as follows:
- all requirements from ISO 16653-1 have been integrated into this document;
- in the Scope, additional details have been added included intended use and objectives;
- the normative references have been updated;
- in Clause 3, seven new definitions have been added to support their use in the text;
- Clause 4 has been updated to include a new figure for the rated load of tools and materials; Table 1 and Figure 3 have been revised to show load-sensing and enhanced stability examples separately and to include more working configurations; verification methods have been removed from each clause and placed in new Table 7 in Clause 5; access system requirements have been revised to include Table 4 and Table 5;
- in Clause 6, the contents of Annex F have been merged into 6.2.1 and the previous Annex F has been deleted
________

This document specifies safety requirements and protective/risk reduction measures, and the means for their verification, for all types and sizes of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving a person(s) along with their necessary tools and materials at an elevated work location.

This document also applies to MEWPs designed for applications requiring special access to specific work areas. These MEWPs can be either self-propelled or manually propelled and are used to elevate personnel to a level at which they can place, install, or retrieve objects or material on a routine basis.

To facilitate operator access to the work area, the retraction of a portion of the MEWP's work platform guardrail system(s) can be necessary.

This document is intended to serve as a guide for manufacturers and remanufacturers of MEWPs to achieve the following objectives: 

- elimination or reduction of accidents and personal injuries; 
- establishment of criteria for design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, testing and performance; 
- establishment and understanding by manufacturers and remanufacturers of their responsibilities.

The design and manufacturing requirements of this document apply to all MEWPs manufactured or remanufactured on or after the effective date, but it is not applicable to rebuilt or reconditioned MEWPs.

It identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards.

This document is not applicable to

a) permanently installed personnel-lifting appliances serving defined levels,
b) firefighting and fire rescue appliances (see for example, EN 1777),
c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see for example, EN 1808),
d) elevating operator position on rail-dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see for example, EN 528),
e) tail lifts (see for example, EN 1756-1:2001+A1:2008, EN 1756-2:2004+A1:2009),
f) mast-climbing work platforms (see ISO 16369),
g) fairground equipment,
h) lifting tables with a lifting height of less than 2 m (see for example, EN 1570-1:2011+A1:2014),
i) builder's hoists for persons and materials,
j) aircraft ground-support equipment (see for example, EN-1915-1:2013, EN-1915-2:2001+A1:2009),
k) digger derricks,
l) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see for example, ISO 3691-3),
m) elevating operator positions on cranes,
n) certain requirements for insulating aerial devices on a chassis for use in live work on electrical installations (see Note 1),
o) multi-purpose elevating platform powered industrial trucks (MPEPs) controlled by a single stand-up riding operator and intended to be used for manually picking and transporting small items at height,
p) powered industrial trucks used to pick and place stock or inventory.

NOTE 1 For requirements for use near live electrical installations, see ISO 16653-2. For requirements for use on live electrical installations, see IEC 61057.

It does not cover hazards arising from:

- use in potentially explosive atmospheres,
- use of compressed gases for load-bearing components,
- derailment and runaway of rail-mounted MEWPs,
- work on live electrical systems (see Note 2 and Note 3).

NOTE 2 Hazards arising from work on live electrical systems are addressed in IEC 61057.

NOTE 3 For MEWPs that employ aerial devices used for live working, this document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61057, taking into consideration the potential exceptions from this document that are specified in IEC 61057.
