This document does not cover:
- mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs or counterweights;
- manipulating robots;
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
This document does not establish the additional requirements for:
- operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as : freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields);
- operation subject to special rules;
- handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads);
- hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100-2 applies.
