This document provides a means of classifying the performance of opening windows according to their strength in resisting, where appropriate, racking load, static torsion and their manual operating forces. Special aspects such as those of burglar resistance are not covered. 1)

1) Effects on other criteria, such as air permeability, are not addressed by EN 13115.

This document specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations.
This document applies to loader cranes designed to be installed on:
- road vehicles, including trailers, with load carrying capability;
- tractors (road or agricultural), where only a towed trailer has capability to carry goods;
- demountable bodies to be carried by any of the above;
- other types of carriers (e.g. separate loaders, crawlers, rail vehicles, non-seagoing vessels);
- static foundations.
This document also applies to loader cranes equipped with special tools or interchangeable equipment (e.g. grapple, clamshell bucket, pallet clamp, etc.), as specified in the operator’s manual.
This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessels or to articulated boom system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders.
The hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
NOTE The use of cranes for lifting of persons can be subject to specific national regulations.
This document is not applicable to loader cranes manufactured before the publication of this document. For loader cranes designed before the publication of this document, the provisions concerning stress calculations in the version of EN 12999 that was valid at the time of their design, are still applicable.

This document specifies safety requirements and protective/risk reduction measures, and the means for their verification, for all types and sizes of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving a person(s) along with their necessary tools and materials at an elevated work location.
This document also applies to MEWPs designed for applications requiring special access to specific work areas (formerly covered by ISO 16653-1). These MEWPs can be either self-propelled or manually propelled and are used to elevate personnel to a level at which they can place, install, or retrieve objects or material on a routine basis. To facilitate operator access to the work area, the retraction of a portion of the MEWP's work platform guardrail system(s) can be necessary.
This document is intended to serve as a guide for manufacturers, remanufacturers, engineers, and designers of MEWPs to achieve the following objectives:
— elimination or reduction of accidents and personal injuries;
— establishment of criteria for design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, testing and performance; and
— establishment and understanding by manufacturers, remanufacturers, engineers, and designers of their responsibilities.
The design and manufacturing requirements of this document apply to all MEWPs manufactured on or after the effective date, but it is not applicable to rebuilt or reconditioned MEWPs.
It identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards.
This document is not applicable to
a) permanently installed personnel-lifting appliances serving defined levels,
b) firefighting and fire rescue appliances (see for example, EN 1777:2010),
c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances (see for example, EN 1808:2015),
d) elevating operator position on rail-dependent storage and retrieval equipment (see for example, EN 528:2021),
e) tail lifts (see for example, EN1756 -1: 2001+ A1: 2008, EN 1756-2:2004+A1: 2009),
f) mast-climbing work platforms (see ISO 16369),
g) fairground equipment,
h) lifting tables with a lifting height of less than 2 m (see, for example, EN 1570-1:2011+A1: 2014),
i) builder's hoists for persons and materials,
j) aircraft ground-support equipment (see, for example, EN -1915 -1: 2013, EN -1915 -2: 2001+ A1: 2009),
k) digger derricks,
l) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks (see, for example, EN ISO 3691-3:2016),

m) elevating operator positions on cranes,
n) certain requirements for insulating aerial devices on a chassis for use in live work on electrical installations. (see Note 1)
o) multi-purpose elevating platform powered industrial trucks (MPEPs) controlled by a single standup riding operator and intended to be used for manually picking and transporting small items at height. (see, for example, ISO XXXXX: 20xx),
p) powered industrial trucks used to pick and place stock or inventory.
Note 1 For requirements for use near live electrical installations, see ISO 16653-2. For requirements for use on live electrical installations, see IEC 61057.
It does not cover hazards arising from
— use in potentially explosive atmospheres,
— use of compressed gases for load-bearing components,
— derailment and runaway of rail-mounted MEWPs,
— work on live electrical systems (See Note 2 and Note 3).
Note 2 Hazards arising from work on live electrical systems are addressed in IEC 61057.
Note 3 For MEWPs that employ aerial devices used for live working, this document will need to be used in conjunction with IEC 61057, taking into consideration the potential exceptions from this document that are specified in IEC 61057.
