DIN EN 81-40:2009-04 EN 81-40:2008 (E) 5 Introduction
35、This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. The stairlifts defined in this European Standard are suitable for type A and type B
36、 wheelchairs as defined in EN 12183 and/or EN 12184. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A and type B standards the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designe
37、d and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. Assumptions With the aim of clarifying the intentions of the standard and avoiding doubts when reading it, the following assumptions were made when producing it: a) components without specific requirements are: 1) designed in accordanc
38、e with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes, including all failure modes; 2) of sound mechanical and electrical construction; b) general electrical hazards are dealt with according to B level electrical safety standards; c) components are kept in good repair and working order, in acc
39、ordance with the maintenance manual, so that the required characteristics remain despite wear; d) by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured throughout the entire maximum working load range; e) a mechanical device built according to good practice and the requi
40、rements of the standard, will not deteriorate to a point of creating a hazard without the possibility of detection; f) to ensure the safe functioning, the operating temperature range of the equipment has to take into account the conditions of the place of use of the machinery, inside the range of am
41、bient temperature between 0 C and +40 C. Negotiation occurs between the manufacturer (the person applying the CE mark) and the user concerning the specificity of the use and places of use of the stairlift: g) suitability for user (see Annex C); h) the place of installation allows a safe use for the
42、machine; i) any additional fire protection requirements. DIN EN 81-40:2009-04 EN 81-40:2008 (E) 6 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard deals with safety requirements for construction, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and dismantling of electrically operated stairlifts (chair, standing platform
43、 and wheelchair platform) affixed to a building structure, moving in an inclined plane and intended for use by persons with impaired mobility: travelling over a stair or an accessible inclined surface; intended for use by one person; whose carriage is directly retained and guided by a guide rail or
44、rails; supported or sustained by rope (5.4.4), rack and pinion (5.4.5), chain (5.4.6), screw and nut (5.4.7), friction traction drive (5.4.8), and guided rope and ball (5.4.9). 1.2 The standard identifies hazards as listed in Clause 4 which arise during the various phases in the life of such equipme
45、nt and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when used as intended by the manufacturer. 1.3 This European standard does not specify the additional requirements for: operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields); lightning protection; ope
46、ration subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres); handling of materials the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations; use of energy systems other than electricity; hazards occurring during manufacture; earthquakes, flooding, fire; type C wheelchairs as defined in EN
47、 12183 and/or EN 12184; evacuation during a fire; stairlifts for goods only; concrete, hardcore, timber or other foundation or building arrangement; design of anchorage bolts to the supporting structure. NOTE For the actual type of machinery, noise is not considered a significant nor relevant hazard
48、. 1.4 This document is not applicable to power operated stairlifts which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
