DIN EN 1570-2:2017-03

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with these requirements. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harmonized" standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This standard incorporates the German version of EN 1570-2:2016 prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 "Lifts, escalators and moving walks" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests during preparation are represented by Working Committee NA 060-22-22 AA "Hubtische" ("Lifting tables") at Technical Section "Fördertechnik" ("Conveying technology") of DIN Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM). Representatives of the manufacturers and users of lifting tables and of the employers' liability insurance associations are involved in the preparation of this standard.
