Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.

This document is modified to adopt ISO 21455:2020 "Mobile elevating work platform operator control device operating force, operating direction, Operation location and operation method.

The technical differences between this document and ISO 21455:2020 and their reasons are as follows.

--- Replaced ISO 16368:2010 with the normative reference GB/T 25849-2024.The degree of consistency between the two documents is Modified to adapt to my country's technical conditions and increase operability (see 5.1, 5.3);

--- Change "For MEWPs operating in countries where national or other MEWP industry regulations allow a minimum guardrail height of 0.9m" to for "MEWPs with a minimum guardrail height of 0.9 m specified by the manufacturer and user" (see 5.2.4);

--- Changed the clause expression type, changing "should be basically consistent with the direction of MEWP response" to "should be consistent with the direction of MEWP response" "Basically the same" (see 7.1.1);

--- Added marking requirements for control devices (see 9.1.3);

--- Replaced ISO 20381 with the normative reference GB/T 33081 to adapt to my country's technical conditions and increase operability (see 9.3).

The following editorial changes were made to this document.

--- The informative reference GB/T 27548-2011 replaces ISO 18893:2014.The consistency between the two documents is Equivalence;
