This document applies to the design of mobile access and working towers made of prefabricated elements with dimensions which are fixed by the design and with a height up to 12 m (indoors) and up to 8 m (outdoors). This document applies to mobile access and working towers used as temporary work equipment.<\/p>\n
This document:<\/p>\n
gives guidelines for the choice of the main dimensions and stabilizing methods,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
gives safety and performance requirements, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
gives information on complete towers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This product standard does not apply to scaffolds according to EN 12810\u20111 and EN 12811\u20111.<\/p>\n
