GB/T 30032.2-2013 Mobile elevating work platforms—Design,calculations,safety requirements and test methods relative to special features—Part 2:MEWPs with non-conductive(insulating) components

Scope

This part of GB/T 30032 specifies the design, calculation, safety requirements, and test methods for mobile elevating work platforms (hereinafter referred to as MEWPs) equipped with non-conductive (insulated) components. This part is used in conjunction with GB 25849. This part applies to all types and specifications of MEWPs equipped with non-conductive (insulated) components, including insulated components that meet the specific electrical performance requirements consistent with the manufacturer's license for design and testing. Such MEWPs are intended for transporting personnel, tools, and equipment to work positions for operations on work platforms located above insulated boom sections. This part includes structural design calculations, the application of stability provisions, and safety inspections and tests conducted before the first use of MEWPs equipped with non-conductive (insulated) components. It points out various hazards associated with the use of MEWPs equipped with non-conductive (insulated) components and proposes methods to eliminate or reduce these hazards. No component of the MEWPs covered by this part comes into contact with the live parts of electrical equipment. The electrical performance of the non-conductive (insulated) components of MEWPs should provide electrical protection to prevent accidental contact on the non-conductive boom sections at the end of the work platform. If the MEWP is equipped with a chassis insulation system, this system can provide electrical protection for ground personnel to prevent accidental contact above the system. This part does not apply to MEWPs for live work (see IEC 61057).
