Mobile elevating work platforms

SI 5697 part 2 - Mobile elevating work platforms: Vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating insulating aerial devices used for live working; (7 page(s), in Hebrew), (88 page(s), in English)

Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 5697 part 2 dealing with safety features of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP). This proposed standard revision adopts the American Standard ANSI/SAIA A92.2 - 2021, with a few national changes that appear in the standard's Hebrew section.

The major differences between the old standard and this new proposal are as follows:

·        Adopts the new edition of the American Standard and removes the alternative European route of compliance;

·        Deletes from the national deviations the requirements for the load sensing and for the moment sensing systems;

Both the old and proposed standards will apply for three years from the entry into force. During this time, products may comply with either.
