1.1本欧洲标准草案涉及到建筑结构的电动垂直升降平台的施工，制造，安装，维护和拆除的安全要求，该建筑结构旨在供行动不便者使用: - 沿着垂直方向倾斜不超过15°的导向路径在预定义水平之间垂直行进; - 有或没有轮椅的人使用; - 由齿条和小齿轮，绳索牵引驱动，非圆形弹性涂层钢悬挂构件（以下称为平带）牵引驱动，绳索驱动，链条，齿形带，螺钉和螺母，导向链，剪刀机构或液压千斤顶支撑或维持（直接或间接）; - 带封闭式升降机; - 速度不大于0.15米/秒; - 载体不完全封闭的平台。 1.2欧洲标准草案处理与起重平台相关的所有重大危险，按照制造商预期的条件使用（见第4条）。 1.3本欧洲标准草案未规定以下方面的附加要求: - 在恶劣条件下运行（如极端气候，强磁场）; - 闪电防护; - 操作受制于

1.1 This draft European Standard deals with safety requirements for construction, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and dismantling of electrically powered vertical lifting platforms affixed to a building structure intended for use by persons with impaired mobility: - travelling vertically between predefined levels along a guided path whose inclination to the vertical does not exceed 15°; - intended for use by persons with or without a wheelchair; - supported or sustained by rack and pinion, rope traction drive, noncircular elastomeric-coated steel suspension members (hereafter called flat belt) traction drive, rope positive drive, chains, toothed belts, screw and nut, guided chain, scissors mechanism or hydraulic jack (direct or indirect); - with enclosed liftways; - with a speed not greater than 0,15 m/s; - with platforms where the carrier is not completely enclosed. 1.2 This draft European Standard deals with all significant hazards relevant to lifting platforms, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). 1.3 This draft European Standard does not specify the additional requirements for: - operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields); - lightning protection; - operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres); - handling of materials, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations; - vertical lifting platforms whose primary function is the transportation of goods; - vertical lifting platforms whose carriers are completely enclosed; - vertical lifting platforms prone to vandalism; - hazards occurring during manufacture; - earthquakes, flooding; - firefighting, evacuation and behaviour during a fire; - noise and vibrations; - the design of concrete, hard core, timber or other foundation or building arrangement; - the design of anchorage bolts to the supporting structure; - type C wheelchairs as defined in EN 12183 and/or EN 12184. NOTE For the actual type of machinery, noise is not considered a significant nor relevant hazard. 1.4 This draft European Standard is not applicable to Vertical Lifting Platforms intended for use by persons with impaired mobility which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.
