EN 1570-1:2024 Safety requirements for lifting tables - Part 1: Lifting tables serving up to two fixed landing

EN 1570-1 specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables with the following characteristics:

- serving no more than 2 fixed landings but able to pass a fixed landing and,
- having a vertical travel speed of no more than 0,15 m/s,
- for raising or lowering goods (with or without operators or authorized persons), or,
- for raising or lowering operators or authorized persons with or without goods, to positions where they can carry out work from a fixed or movable lifting table that is guided throughout its vertical travel only.

As lifting tables are used in a wide range of applications, it is equally necessary to perform individual risk assessments in accordance with ISO 12100 for the actual operating conditions. Products sold indirectly to end-users should be built to cover all the risks related to the use and all conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer, as described and detailed in the instruction manual.

EN 1570-1 specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating and reducing the risks arising from significant hazards. Where the text gives an example of a safety measure for greater clarity, this should not be considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is permissible if an equivalent or increased level of safety is achieved.
