Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the first edition of CAN\/CSA-B354.6, Mobile elevating work platforms – Design, calculations, safety requirements, and test methods, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 16368 (second edition, 2010-05-15). It replaces the design, calculations, safety requirements and test methods sections of CAN\/CSA-B354.1-04, Portable elevating work platforms; CAN\/CSA-B354.2-01, Self-propelled elevating work platforms; and CAN\/CSA-B354.4-02, Self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms.<\/p>\n

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN\/CSA-B354.6 throughout.<\/p>\n

The Canadian deviations contain revisions and additional guidance to reflect Canadian practices and safety considerations.<\/p>\n

Note: It is recommended by the CSA Technical Committee that the requirements of this Standard be implemented within 12 months after the date of publication of this Standard.<\/p>\n

CSA gratefully acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Canadian government departments responsible for occupational health and safety standards. <\/p>\n

Scope<\/h4>\n

This International Standard specifies safety requirements and preventive measures, and the means for their verification, for all types and sizes of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving persons to working positions. It gives the structural design calculations and stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and security tests to be applied before a MEWP is first put into service, identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of those hazards.<\/p>\n

This International Standard is not applicable to<\/p>\n

a) permanently installed personnel-lifting appliances serving defined levels
b) fire-fighting and fire rescue appliances
c) unguided work cages suspended from lifting appliances
d) elevating operator position on rail-dependent storage and retrieval equipment
e) tail lifts
f) mast-climbing work platforms (see ISO 16369)
g) fairground equipment
h) lifting tables with a lifting height of less than 2 m
i) builders hoists for persons and materials
j) aircraft ground-support equipment
k) digger derricks
l) elevating operator positions on industrial trucks
m) under-bridge inspection and maintenance devices
n) certain requirements for insulating aerial devices on a chassis for use in live work on electrical installations.<\/p>\n

It does not cover hazards arising from <\/p>\n
