Compliance with Belgian fire safety standards (Royal Decree 07/07/1994) and Eurocodes (EN 1990–1999) for structural integrity.
BMUs must comply with the EU Machinery Directive and carry CE marking.
EN 1808:2015 is the main European standard that sets safety rules for suspended access equipment, covering design, stability, construction, and required testing. It applies to both permanent and temporary equipment, whether powered or hand-operated, and ensures the safety of all parts like rails, tracks, and support systems connected to buildings while excluding special cases such as transporting passengers or extreme environments.
French Code du travail Articles on Safety and Lifting Work
Arrêté du 1er Mars 2004, Articles 1-6:
Detailed regulatory requirements for lifting and handling equipment inspection and maintenance:
Governs workplace safety, including work-at-height and use of suspended working platforms.
The main statutory regulation controlling design, installation, safe operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of Suspended Working Platforms (SWPs).
Applies to lifting appliances, lifting gear, and certain suspended access equipment categories.
Relevant for construction-stage façade access activities, including certain lifting and suspended gear.
Requires approval for anchorage, structural loads, and installation details affecting the building structure.
Regulates the qualifications of engineers involved in design, testing, certification, and approval.
The official COP under FIUO, providing mandatory safety and operational requirements, including:
Required for design of SWP stability and wind loading in docked/operating conditions.
Referenced when designing fixings, anchorage, and structural connections for BMUs/SWPs.
The Hong Kong COP recognises equivalent international standards if they meet or exceed referenced requirements. Included standards:
Referenced for safety standards relating to suspended gondolas.
Guidance note on safety belts and anchorage systems
In Malaysia, the Department of Safety and Health (DOSH) under the Ministry of Human Resources uses these guidelines as a reference for Working at Height. For BMU design, they follow the standard from the country of origin where the machine is manufactured.
For example:
As of now, Malaysia does not have a specific standard for BMU machine design.
The installations must comply with the laws, regulations, provisions, and standards, including all updates, that apply three months prior to the publication of these specifications.
