Cranes, hoists and winches - Part 10: Mobile elevating work platforms
Addresses the requirements for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) in general and, in addition, those intended for specific applications such as use near live electrical conductors, or operation in orchards where specific design requirements are necessary to address the risks associated with the intended use. Additional requirements are also specified for portable MEWPs.
