This European Standard shall be given the status of a national s
16、tandard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2005. This document supersedes HD 1004:1992. The development of mobile access and working towers system is from two roots: sc
17、affold manufacturers placed prefabricated unanchored scaffolds on four legs and castors and ladder manufacturers began to construct mobile access towers with light-weight ladders using aluminium frames and castors. Taking this into account, CEN/TC53 decided in 1980 to standardize the manufacture of
18、mobile access and working towers in parallel with the European standardization of prefabricated service and working scaffolds EN 12810-2 and EN 12811-3. For materials, this document refers only to valid documents. However, a large stock of equipment made of materials conforming to documents no longe
19、r valid is in use. This document does not cover this equipment. During discussion of the draft it was noted that the average height of people is increasing and that consideration will have to be given in later editions to altering vertical dimensions. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulation
20、s, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
21、 Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 1004:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This document applies to the design of mobile access and working towers made of prefabricated elements with a height from 2,5 m to 12,0 m (indoors) and from 2,5 m to 8,0 m (outdoors). Thi
22、s document: gives guidelines for the choice of the main dimensions and stabilizing methods; gives safety and performance requirements; and gives some information on complete towers. NOTE In this document “indoors“ means that the towers is not be exposed to wind, and “outdoors“ means that the towers
23、may be exposed to wind. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
