GB/T 17888.2-2020 Safety of machinery—Permanent means of access to machinery—Part 2:Working platforms and walkways
Basic Information
Scope
This part of GB/T 17888 specifies the requirements for non-powered work platforms and walkways that are components of fixed machines, as well as the requirements for non-powered adjustable (e.g., foldable, sliding) components and movable components on such fixed access facilities.
Note 1: "Fixed" access facilities refer to access facilities that can only be removed with tools after installation (e.g., by screws, nuts, or welding).
The minimum requirements specified in this part also apply to similar access facilities (such as work platforms and walkways) in buildings where machines are installed, provided that the main function of such facilities is to provide access to machines.
Note 2: If no other standards exist, this part also applies to access facilities outside the scope of this part.
This part is used in conjunction with the requirements specified for work platforms and walkways in GB/T 17888.1.
GB/T 17888 applies to fixed machines and mobile machines equipped with fixed access facilities, but not to powered access facilities such as elevators, escalators, or other devices specifically designed to lift people between two levels.
