BES Standards 44 (British, European and International) ‘The preparation of standards for a wide range of lifing equipment components and associated materials together with codes and Fecommendations for safe use has resulted in a very good standard of safety when properly applied. All persons who are Concerned with the design, technical selection or use of liting equipment are advised to work to these standards, ‘The European standards programme is stil a long way from completion but, as can be seen below, there are now many standards bearing the BS EN profi. These European Standards ate intended to help the process of removing technical barriers to trade throughout Europe and beyond. The reader should ensure that they have the current edition of the standard, complete with any amendments Listed below are the main standards applicable to iting equipment British and European Standards CRANES, RUNWAYS, BLOCKS AND WINCHES.
