This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
16、 text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held
17、responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1398:1997. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s). For relationship
18、with EC Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Cz

BS EN 1398:2009EN 1398:2009 (E) 5 Introduct
20、ion This European Standard is a type C-standard as defined in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate with EN
21、ISO 12100 for hazards which are not covered by this European Standard. Where provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that hav
22、e been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. BS EN 1398:2009EN 1398:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for design, construction, installation, maintenance and testing of dock levellers and for safety components on dock le
23、vellers. With the exception of: a) dock levellers for marine and aircraft applications; b) lifting tables; c) vehicle mounted tail lifts. NOTE 1 Requirements for lifting tables are laid down in EN 1570. NOTE 2 Requirements for vehicle mounted tail lifts are laid down in EN 1756-1. 1.2 This European
24、Standard is applicable to dock levellers which are used by persons and/or manual or power driven transport equipment (e. g. forklift trucks) as traffic paths between goods vehicles, both road vehicles and rail wagons, and parts of buildings such as loading docks. This standard does not deal with oth
25、er bridging devices not shown in Figure 1. a) Bridge plate (dock plate) manually operated, mobile b) Manually or power operated dockleveller, fixed at the dock edge c) Manually operated dock leveller, installed in a pit, hinged lip d) Power operated dock leveller, installed in a pit, telescopic or h
26、inged lip Figure 1 Types of dock levellers NOTE Only dock levellers fitted with a drive system other than directly applied human effort are machines in the sense of the Machinery Directive. 1.3 This European Standard specifies requirements in order to protect persons and objects against accidents an
27、d health problems and damage during use and operation of dock levellers. BS EN 1398:2009EN 1398:2009 (E) 7 Persons to protect are: a) operators and users; b) maintaining and inspecting personnel; c) persons near the dock leveller. Objects to be protected are: d) goods on dock levellers; e) transport
28、 equipment on dock levellers. 1.4 The significant hazards of dock levellers are listed in Clause 4. These hazards have been identified by risk assessment according to EN ISO 12100-2 and require actions to avoid the hazard, or to reduce the risk, which are covered in Clause 5. 1.5 The safety requirem
29、ents are based on the assumption that the dock levellers are regularly maintained by competent persons to the instructions of the manufacturer and that the operating person has been instructed in the use of the dock leveller. 1.6 This European Standard is not applicable to dock levellers which are m
30、anufactured before the date of its publication as EN. 1.7 This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to dock Levellers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). 2 Normative references
