New European standard for lifting
platforms with enclosed lift-ways.
CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, was founded in
1961 by the national standards bodies in the European Economic
Community and EFTA countries.
CEN is contributing to the objectives of the European Union and
European Economic Area with voluntary technical standards which
promote free trade, the safety of workers and consumers.
The working group CEN/TC10/WG8 has completed a new
European safety standard for lifting platforms with enclosed
ways, EN 81-41.
The standard has been published and may be used by
manufacturers to show compliance with the relevant Essential
Health and Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC
