Rick,

The standard you need is:

prEN1005-2 1993 Human physical performance -manual handling of objects associated to machinery.

It is, apparently, still at draft stage, and I don't know what the cause of the delay is. However, it's got the sort of data you are looking for and it seems to be wholly consistent with the requirements contained in the UK's Manual Handling Regulations.

AFAIK the MH regs, like PUWER, are based on an EU directive themselves so examination of the UK regs should be a good starting point for finding out what is required elsewhere.

Let me know if you have trouble getting a copy of the draft and I'll see whether I can get one from BSI for you.

Regards

Nick.

Hi group
            Is anyone aware of a standard UL or EN which details the
Weights that are acceptable as one and two person lifts.

I have come across a number of industry and company related
information but cannot find a standard.

Also is there an accepted international  warning label to cover this.

Regards

Brian Harlowe
