1.1This standard contains the requirements for safety for the design and installation of equipment intended for the storage (as defined in 3.2.1), handling (as defined in 3.2.2) and transportation (as defined in 3.2.3) of flat glass outside the factory (as defined in 3.1.1) and including stillages, pallets, frails fixed to vehicles, in-loader vehicles, specific glass-securing devices, stanchions and vacuum-lifting devices which are used for road transport and on building sites.1.2Specific hazards due to the use inside the factory are dealt with in EN 13035-1.1.3This standard deals only with the devices which are directly in contact with the glass. This standard does not apply to manual handling equipment such as carrying straps and vacuum pads. Tractors, cranes, hoists and fork lifts are out of the scope as well as parts of other powered vehicles that are not in contact with the glass. This European Standard does not apply to equipment for the transport by other ways than on road e.g. by ship or train, and the transportation of glazed windows/frames.1.4This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to equipment for the storage, handling and transportation of flat glass, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards during commissioning, the operation and maintenance. Noise has not been considered to be a significant hazard for any type of equipment in the scope of this standard.1.5This document is not applicable to storage, handling or transportation equipment for flat glass outside the factory, which is manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
