AMENDMENT 1: Guidance on the use of structural analysis for already certified structures

This document is applicable to self-propelled and pedestrian propelled manual and semi-manual industrial trucks as defined in ISO 5053 1:2020 including their load handling devices and attachments (hereafter referred to as trucks) intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. NOTE 1 Attachments mounted on the load carrier or on fork arms which are removable by the user are not considered to be a part of the truck. This document specifies supplementary technical requirements for the prevention of the ignition of an explosive atmosphere of flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts by industrial trucks of equipment group II and equipment category 2G, 3G, 2D or 3D. NOTE 2 The relationship between an equipment category (hereafter referred to as category) and the corresponding zone (area classification) is shown in informative Annex B. This document does not apply to: — trucks of equipment group I; — trucks of equipment group II, equipment category 1; — trucks intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres with hybrid mixtures; — protective systems. This document does not apply to trucks intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of carbon disulfide (CS2), carbon monoxide (CO) and/or ethylene oxide (C2H4O) due to the special properties of these gases. Technical requirements relating to lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells as energy sources are not given in this document due to their specific hazards.

This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power-driven winches for which the prime mover is an electric motor, hydraulic motor, or pneumatic motor. Winches are designed for the movement or manipulation of loads supported on level or inclined planes in situations where risks resulting from a failure of the winding mechanism or pulling medium are mitigated by external measures. This document is not applicable to devices which handle suspended loads. Generally, a winch is used without any additional transport movement, except in cases where a winch is used on a stranded vehicle for self-recovery of the vehicle. Applications of winches covered are for example, but not limited to: a) rope winches; b) belt winches, except steel belts used as pulling media; c) traction winches, including double capstan and traction sheave winches. These types of winches a) to c) also include the following specific applications: — vehicle recovery winches; — winches for boat trailers; — winches for stationary offshore applications. NOTE Examples are shown in Annex H. This document does not apply to: — power-driven hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2; — forestry winches in accordance with EN ISO 19472-1; — winches for seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units; — winches for the lifting of persons; — NGL building hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2; — winches for the handling of hot molten masses. This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to power driven winches when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable, identified in Annex A. This document does not specify additional requirements for hazards related to the use of power driven winches in explosive atmospheres in underground mines.
