ISO 16653-1:2008规定了带护栏系统的移动式升降工作平台（MEWPs）的安全要求。它将与ISO 16368结合使用。 本规范适用于此类MEWPs，其设计用于需要特殊进入特定工作区域的应用。这些MEWPs可以是自动推进的，也可以是手动推进的，用于将人员提升到一个水平，使其能够在日常基础上放置、安装或检索物体或材料。为了方便操作员进入工作区域，可能需要收回MEWP工作平台护栏系统的一部分。 它不适用于用于拾取和放置库存或存货的动力工业卡车。

ISO 16653-1:2008 specifies the safety requirements for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) with guardrail systems. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 16368. It is applicable to such MEWPs designed for applications requiring special access to specific work areas. 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. It is not applicable to powered industrial trucks used to pick and place stock or inventory.
