EN 12999 Amendment Published
BSI recently published ‘BS EN 12999:2020+A1:2025’, an Amendment to the European design Standard for loader cranes. ALLMI has been heavily involved with the Amendment via its representation on CEN/TC 147/WG 18, the European Working Group responsible for the Standard.
ALLMI Technical Manager and member of WG 18, Keith Silvester, comments “The Amendment was, in the main, originally driven by ALLMI’s swing-up stabiliser work and the resulting UK position, so it includes new requirements for the design of this leg-type. However, various other changes have been made, a full breakdown of which has been provided to our members and accredited thorough examiners.”
He continues “The Amendment is expected to be current for around two years, as it is anticipated that a full revision of the Standard will be required before the transition from the Machinery Directive to the Machinery Regulation on 14th January 2027.”
