This European Standard specifies product requirements, methods of structural and general design and tests for protection fans for scaffolds to protect workers as well as members of public from objects that may fall off the outside edge of scaffolds being used close to where they are working or passing by. This European Standard only applies to protection fans while the scaffold is being used as a working place. Protection fans attached to structures other than scaffolds as defined in EN 12811-1 are outside the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard applies only to protection fan systems on to which construction debris may fall from 24 m or less. This European Standard ensures resistance of protection fans for most blunt falling objects representing an impacting energy not exceeding 720 J.   
NOTE   This energy corresponds to a 3 kg object falling from 24m.
This Standard does not cover the requirements for the total area to be protected against falling items.

This part of 61439 defines the specific requirements of ACS as follows:
– ASSEMBLIES for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V in case of a.c. or 1 500 V in case of d.c.;
– ASSEMBLIES where the nominal primary voltage and the nominal secondary voltage of
transformers incorporated in ACS are within the limits specified above;
– ASSEMBLIES intended for use on construction sites, both indoors and outdoors, i.e. temporary places of work to which the public do not generally have access and where building construction, installation, repairs, alteration or demolition of property (buildings) or civil engineering (public works) or excavation or any other similar operations are carried out;
– transportable (semi-fixed) or mobile ASSEMBLIES with enclosure. The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer. This standard does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which will comply with the relevant product standards. This standard does not apply to ASSEMBLIES for use in the administrative centres of construction sites (offices, cloakrooms, ASSEMBLY rooms, canteens, restaurants, dormitories, toilets, etc.).

prEN 74-2 specifies for half couplers, reduction couplers for right angle and swivel
couplers, and sleeve couplers with shear suds:
- Materials
- design requirements
- strength classes with different structural parameters including nominal values
for resistances and stiffness which a coupler has to achieve
- test procedures
- assessment
- recommendations for on-going production control
for use principally in falsework and scaffolds. Each coupler is able to be fixed at least to 48.3 mm diameter steel or aluminium tube.
For testing, screw couplers are tightened with a torque of 50 Nm and wedge couplers are tightened with a 500 g hammer until the jarring blow.

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and methods of structural and general design for access and working scaffolds, referred to from hereon as working scaffolds. Requirements given are for scaffold structures, which rely on the adjacent structures for stability. In general these requirements also apply to other types of working scaffolds. Normal requirements are set down, but there is also provision for special cases.
This European Standard also specifies structural design rules when certain materials are used and general rules for prefabricated equipment.
The standard excludes:
- platforms suspended by ropes, whether fixed or movable;
- horizontally movable platforms including Mobile Access Towers (MAT);
- power-operated platforms;
- scaffolds used as protection for roof work;
- temporary roofs.
NOTE 1    Most working scaffolds are formed from prefabricated components or from tubes and couplers. Some examples of working scaffolds are façade scaffolds, static towers and birdcage scaffolds, but details are not given for all of these.
NOTE 2   Although they may be erected using the same structural elements working scaffolds are not falsework and shoring.
NOTE 3   Particular requirements for façade scaffolds made of prefabricated components are specified in prEN 12810 -1 and prEN 12810-2.

This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and the general requirements of structural design and assessment for prefabricated façade scaffold systems. The façade scaffolds are intended for use while connected to the façade with ties. Scaffold systems are classified by six criteria, see Table 1
It is limited to façade scaffold systems that have standards made of steel or aluminium alloy and have other elements made of these materials or timber based materials.
It defines a standard set of system configurations under which the structural design is carried out. Other configurations may be possible with some systems, but they are outside the scope.
This standard should be read in conjunction with prEN 12811-1, prEN 12811-2, EN 12811-3 and prEN 12810-2 which specify certain of the requirements.
This standard does not specify requirements for protection fans. It does not give information about erection, use, dismantling or maintenance.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for non-alloy steel tubes for use with EN 74 couplers in the construction of falsework and working scaffolds.  It includes detailed requirements for marking to aid long term identification, for protective coating by reference to European and International Standards, and for inspection and testing.
NOTE 1: Tubes to this European Standard, which have a specified outside diameter of 48,3 mm and specified thickness of 3,2 mm or 4,0 mm, may also be used in conjunction with other sizes and grades of steel tubes for applications such as prefabricated scaffolds.
NOTE 2: The use of these tubes should be in accordance with appropriate International and national requirements, for example prEN 12811 and prEN 12812.
