This document specifies the design, calculations, safety requirements and test methods for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) with non-conductive (insulating) components. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 16368. It is applicable to all types and sizes of MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components, including dielectric components designed and tested to meet the specific electrical properties consistent with the manufacturer's identification plate. This equipment is intended to move persons, tools and equipment to working positions where they can carry out work from a work platform located above a non-conductive (insulating) boom section. This document covers structural design calculations and the application of stability criteria, construction, safety examinations and tests done before MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components are first put into service. Annex A identifies the hazards arising from the use of MEWPs with non-conductive (insulating) components and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards. MEWPs covered in this document are not intended to have any of their components make contact with live parts of electrical installations. The electrical properties of a MEWP's non-conducting (insulating) components can provide electrical protection in case of inadvertent contact above the non-conductive boom component at the platform end. If a MEWP is equipped with a chassis insulating system, it can provide electrical protection for ground personnel in case of inadvertent contact above that system. This document is not applicable to MEWPs designed for or capable of operating in live working conditions (see IEC 61057). The electrical insulation level is limited to voltages experienced in electrical distribution systems 46 kV and below.

This document is applicable to insulating aerial devices for mounting on a chassis, to be used
for live working on electrical installations at nominal voltages above 1 000V r.m.s. AC in the
range 45 Hz to 65 Hz and 1 500V DC.
The primary purpose of an aerial device is for work positioning of personnel. Other devices,
such as jibs, may be fitted in order to assist the operator in performing the work.
This document also includes requirements and tests for the parts of the chassis influencing
the performance of the insulating aerial devices to be used for live working.
When mounted on a chassis, the insulating aerial device becomes a component of a mobile
elevating work platform (MEWP). Complementary requirements for the resulting MEWP are
included in ISO 16368.
NOTE 1 In Europe, EN 280 instead of ISO 16368 is often used as reference for complementary requirements.
The products designed and manufactured according to this document contribute to the safety
of users, provided they are used by skilled persons, in accordance with safe methods of work
and the instructions for use.
NOTE 2 Any requirements that are in conflict with or are meant to be complementary to ISO 16368 are delineated
herein.
Radial boom (digger) derricks are not covered by this document.

This standard specifies the special safety requirements for Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWP) which are temporarily installed and are manually or power operated and which are designed to be used by one or more persons from which to carry out work. The vertical moving components (work platform) are also used to move those same persons and their equipment and materials to and from a single boarding point. These restrictions differentiate MCWPs from Builder's hoists. The standard can also be used for permanently installed MCWP. This standard is applicable to work platforms elevated by rack and pinion and guided by and moving along their supporting masts, where the masts may or may not require lateral restraint from separate supporting structures. This standard is applicable to any combination of the following alternatives: One or more masts; Mast tied or untied; Mast of fixed or variable length; Masts vertical or inclined between 0° and 30° to the vertical; Masts which are standing or hanging; Movable or static base (chassis, or base frame); Manually or power operated elevation; Towed or self powered ground travel on site, excluding road traffic regulation requirements; Driven using electric, pneumatic or hydraulic motors.
