Rick,
>From IEC 1010 , a lift of 18 kg is acceptable as long as a means of lifting and
carrying directions are provided in the manuals. Also refer to IEC 1010, 7.4
Provisions for lifting and carrying
Also per the SEMATECH application guidelines 4.2, table III.30 the maximum lift
weight is dependent on repetition of lift and whether lift is at elbow level (
up to 42 lb. max. every 8 hours) or knuckle level ( up to 51 lb. every 8 hours).

Subject: European Ergonomic Standard
I am looking for the appropriate European Ergonomic standard that addresses
the issue of manual lifting in the workplace. The US equivalent standards
are the "NIOSH Work Practices Guide for Manual Lifting" , OSHA 1910,
MIL-STD-1472 or MIL-HDBK-795.
Its my understanding that there are standards available such as British
Standard 5827, "Health & Safety at Work Etc Act", "Health & Safety at Work
Regulations", and "Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations", but I
assume that these are UK requirements which may or may not be accepted in
the European community.
I realize that this is not necessarily a "Product Safety" issue but I am
hoping that someone may be familiar with this. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
