BS EN 1004-1:2020 pdf download.Mobile access and working towers made of prefabricated elements Part 1: Materials, dimensions, design loads, safety and performance requirements.
6 Materials
Materials shalt fulfil the requirements given in European standards, where design data are provided. If European standards do not exist. ISO standards can be applied.
Materials shall be sufficiently robust and durable to withstand normal working conditions. Additional requirements for some materials are given in EN 12811-2.
When materials are used, whose properties in relation to the intended application (e.g. temperature, ageing. UV-degradation) are not given in any available standard an adequate assessment is required. Steel shall be protected by one of the methods given in EN 12811-2. or zinc plated to the level required for the design service environment stated in EN ISO 2081.
7 General requirements
7.1 General
A mobile access and working tower shall only consist of a single-bay structure.
The mobile access and working tower shall be designed such that It can be assembled, altered and dismantled without the need for personal fall protection equipment.
Only one platform shall be a working platform at one time.
The mobile access and working tower shall be designed in such a way that the uppermost platform is a working platform and lower platforms are intermediate platforms.
NOTE An intermediate platform can be changed to he the working platform if it is equipped with side protection, Including toe boards.
