11、otheir secretary.SupersessionThis part of BS 1139 supersedes BS 1139-6:2005, which is withdrawn.Relationship to other standardsThis part of BS 1139 should be read in conjunction with, and is complementaryto, BS EN 1004, Mobile access and working towers made of prefabricatedelements Materials, dimens
12、ions, design loads, safety and performancerequirements.Information about this documentThis is a full revision of the standard and introduces the following principalchanges: clarification of the scope; updated terms and definitions; dimensions for certain components; new requirements for structural d
13、esign and positional stability; new requirements for design verification; new requirements for marking and for the information to be supplied.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the
14、principal auxiliary verb is“shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with The BSI guide tostandardization Section 2: Rules for the structure,
15、 drafting and presentation ofBritish Standards, subclause 11.3.1, which states, “Requirements should beexpressed using wording such as: When tested as described in Annex A, theproduct shall .”. This means that only those products that are capable ofpassing the specified test will be deemed to confor

18、n configurations that are outside ofthe scope of that standard.These configurations include:a) prefabricated tower scaffolds outside the height limits of BS EN 1004;b) towers with more than one working platform;c) large deck tower scaffolds;d) linked tower scaffolds;e) cantilever tower scaffolds;f)
19、stepped tower scaffolds;g) tower scaffolds used as a means of access;h) towers built on base plates instead of castors.This British Standard applies to prefabricated tower scaffolds subject to windloads up to and including 0.1 kN/m2.NOTE Where a prefabricated tower scaffold might be subject to wind
20、in excess of0.1 kN/m2, and it cannot be dismantled or moved to avoid these winds, suitablewind design criteria can be found in BS EN 1991-1-4.This British Standard does not cover prefabricated tower scaffolds using guys asa method of stabilization.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced docum
