DEFINIZIONI
unità di Manutenzione Permanente
(BMU):
• Nota Una BMU è solitamente utilizzata da
operatori per lavori di ispezione, pulizia e
manutenzione su un edificio, dove in genere
può verificarsi pubblico passaggio al di sotto
della piattaforma sospesa.
piattaforme sospese temporanee
(TSP):
• Nota Una TSP è solitamente utilizzata da
operatori per lavori di costruzione,
rivestimento, verniciatura, manutenzione e
restauro di edifici, ponti, ciminiere ed altre
opere edili.

EN 1495: 1997 +A2:2009 /AC 2010
Piattaforme di Lavoro Autosollevanti
• Piattaforme di Lavoro Autosollevanti su Colonne (PLAC) sono macchine installate
temporaneamente, azionate a mano o motorizzate e concepite per essere
utilizzate da una o più persone che dalle stesse possono eseguire lavori. Le parti
che si muovono in senso verticale (piattaforma di lavoro) vengono usate anche per
spostare quelle stesse persone e le loro attrezzature e materiali da e per un solo
punto di accesso. (queste limitazioni differenziano le PLAC dagli ascensori da
cantiere).
Le piattaforme di lavoro sono sollevate a mezzo di pignone e cremagliera e guidate
dalle colonne di supporto lungo le quali si muovono, ove le colonne possono o
meno essere ancorate lateralmente a strutture portanti separate.

The amendments have been accepted and have been published as EN 280: 2013 has been published although
it its reference has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. CEN/TC 98 has
accepted to adopt a Preliminary Work Item corresponding to an amendment to new EN 280:2013 (decision
177/2013): this amendment will include the proposals of the two ad hoc groups to be discussed in Mannheim on
1-2 October. Proposal Description Status
1 Use of EN 62061 as an alternative for
electrical based safety functions.
Text proposed for incorporation into
clause 5.11.1.
2 Re-specify the Categories listed in Table 4
of clause 5.11 as SILs and Performance
Levels.
Text proposed for incorporation into
clause 5.11.1.
3 State minimum Performance Level. Text proposed for incorporation into
clause 5.11.1.
4 Unmonitored Category 3 circuits. Additional Annex H proposed.
Suggested text in section H.2.
5 Allow a qualitative justification for safety
functions that only use certified
components.
Rejected.
6 Proven-in-use Rejected at this meeting since the
amendment to EN 62061 considers
Route 2H "not suitable for general
machinery."
7 Clarify and state if architectural
requirements apply to the whole function,
or just a component such as the logic, input
or output
Not required.
8 Refer to PD/TR 23849: 2010 clauses 7.1
and 7.3 for information on how to combine
EN 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1 in the
same safety function
Text proposed for incorporation into
clause 5.11.1.
9 Complex circuits where the failure mode
cannot be reliably predicted.
Rejected on the basis that Proposal 5
was rejected
10 PL-D functions with Category 2 architecture Additional Annex H proposed.
Suggested text in section H.1.
•Incorporation of Proposals Into Proposed Amendment of
EN 280
Ten proposals were discussed at the previous four meetings.
The status of these proposals is summarised below.

Amendment (ISO/DAM 13848-1) della
ISO 13849-1
proposta sui sistemi di controllo
SRPC/CS (capacità della parte del sistema di controllo della
macchina relativo alla sicurezza di garantire la protezione entro
predefinite condizioni di funzionamento) avente lo scopo
di ridurre i problemi di mancanza di
dati per i componenti pneumatici ed
anche idraulici.
Si è chiesto di inserire il concetto di
proven in use per offrire un’ alternativa al
componente well tried ed alla procedura
di reperimento dati, considerate le
difficoltà che si incontrano. Il punto 3.1.39
non è presente nella norma in quanto è la
definizione del termine proven in use
(testato in uso) che è stata introdotta
prelevandola dalla norma IEC 61508.

1.This European Standard specifies safety requirements
and measures for all types and sizes of Mobile Elevating
Work Platform (MEWP, see 3.1) intended to move
persons to working positions where they are carrying out
work from the work platform (WP) with the intention that
persons are getting on and off the work platform only at
access positions at ground level or on the chassis.
NOTE Machines designed for the handling of goods which
are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable
equipment are regarded as MEWPs.

destinate a svolgere varie funzioni utilizzando attrezzature
intercambiabili devono includere le informazioni necessarie per
montare e usare in sicurezza la combinazione della macchina di
base e le attrezzature intercambiabili.
• Il fabbricante della macchina di base deve:
fornire informazioni dettagliate sull’interfaccia fra la macchina di
base e le attrezzature intercambiabili
e
indicare le caratteristiche essenziali delle attrezzature
intercambiabili compatibili o specificare le attrezzature
intercambiabili che possono essere montate in sicurezza sulla
macchina.
• Questo requisito è complementare a quello che prevede che il
fabbricante delle attrezzature intercambiabili specifichi quale sia la
macchina di base con cui le attrezzature possono essere utilizzate in
sicurezza e fornire le relative istruzioni di

Rough-terrain trucks — Safety requirements and verification — Part 3: Additional
requirements relating to the interface of trucks equipped with a man platform

19.
Foreword
The purpose of this standard is to give requirements for the specific aspects related to the fitting
and interface of a work platform to a variable-reach truck designed for the lifting of persons. This
standard does not give requirements for the complete truck fitted with a work platform.
Trucks which are equipped with work platforms as interchangeable equipment are regarded as
Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) as defined in 3.1 of EN 280:2013, and listed under
Annex IV, item 17 of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

6.10 WG 18 Loader Crane
Proposal from UNI for two additional annexes in EN 12999 (N 893)
• To convert loader cranes to function as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs)
• For railway applications
To support the need for the additional annexes the delegation from Italy gave a brief presentation, this is re-produced
as annex F.
The use of loader cranes together with work platforms
The proposal from Italy is for EN 12999 to provide some requirements for how a loader crane could be
designed to also comply with EN 280 when used as a MEWP with a working platform fitted as
interchangeable equipment.
Such dual purpose machines are always provided with some kind of status switch that defines the
operational mode so that the machine is in either of these two states, but never in both states.
In this situation as
• A loader crane that should comply with EN 12999
or
• A MEWP that should comply with EN 280.
At the conclusion of an open discussion the Chairman asked the delegation from Italy to develop a draft of
their proposed annex and to state if it should be considered normative or informative.
• Action: Italy
