Overview
This standard applies to manually and or machine-operated stands with a safe working load of more than 3 kg. This standard applies to stands which are used in entertainment technology. Stands within the meaning of this standard are used for the purposes of lifting, lowering, and holding loads (such as scenic elements, trusses, lighting and audio-visual equipment). It is also possible for several stands to carry a common load. These installations are not permitted to be used for the transportation of persons or for the movement of loads above people's heads. Standing under loads is permitted when these are at rest. This standard also applies to installations with new technologies or customized designs that are not expressly named here but are being used in identical modes of operation. This standard does not apply to: - stands with a safe working load ≤ 3 kg; - camera stands; - wooden stands.
