EVS-EN ISO 14122-2:2016

ISO 14122-2 gives requirements for non-powered working platforms and walkways which are part of a stationary machine. It sets out requirements also for non-powered adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, sliding) and movable parts of those fixed means of access. ISO 14122-2 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the same means of access is required as the part of the building or civil construction (e.g. working platforms, walkways) where the machine is installed. The requirements are specified on condition that the main function of that part of the construction is to provide means of access to the machine.

It is intended that ISO 14122-2 be used with ISO 14122-1 to give the requirements for walking platforms and walkways. It does not apply to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication. The ISO 14122 series is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access are necessary. It does not apply to powered means of access such as lifts, escalators, or other devices specially designed to lift persons between two levels.

The international standard has been approved in Europe as EN ISO 14122-2:2016 without any changes and it supersedes EN ISO 14122-2:2001.

ISO 14122-2 can be used by:

— machine manufacturers (small, medium, and large enterprises),

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
