14、 by means of suspended equipmentat heights in excess of 35 ft (11 m) above a safe surface, e.g., grade, street, floor, or roof level.The provisions of the Standard are intended to apply to all known systems used to supportsuspended maintenance equipment as well as the suspended equipment itself (eit

15、her permanentlyinstalled or transportable equipment). Guidelines are also included for a buildings structuralsupport areas as well as the building surfaces that actually interface with the equipment.The Standard does not apply to other suspended powered platforms used for remedial renova-tions or mo

16、difications to buildings. The safe use of these types of scaffolds is addressed byAmerican National Standard ANSI A10.8. The A120.1 Standard also does not relate to any serviceperformed by persons supported by equipment covered by any of the ANSI A92 Standards.The purpose of this Standard is to ensu

17、re the protection of all powered platform users as wellas persons potentially exposed to use of the equipment. In developing this Standard, safety hasbeen held as the primary consideration. The Standard requires that permanently installed ortransportable equipment be properly designed by a qualified

18、 professional engineer, taking intoaccount specific building features rather than attempting to accommodate the system to a build-ings structure and facade features that may not be suitable for its safe operation. In addition,care has been taken so as not to exclude or render obsolete any existing p

19、roduct or equipment.Operation and maintenance instructions in this safety standard are intended for general applica-tions. The equipment manufacturer and/or installer shall be consulted for specific operating ormaintenance instructions.This Standard reflects the evolution of a project begun in 1962

20、by the American NationalStandards Committee on Window Cleaning Safety, A39. At that time, the Committee recognizedthat a new method was being developed for cleaning fixed sash windows by means of a specialscaffolding. In order to deal expertly with this new development, a new project was established

21、,separate from that handled by the A39 Committee. Following a general conference, the AmericanNational Standards Committee on Powered Platforms, ANSI A120, was formed, with the NationalSafety Council acknowledged as sponsor. In 1965, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) was approved as

22、 co-sponsor. In 1984, the Building Owners and Managers AssociationInternational was approved as secretariat.A previous edition of the Standard, A120.1-1970, was administratively withdrawn in 1989. ThisStandard had established safety requirements for the design, construction, installation, inspection

23、,and use of power-operated platforms for exterior building maintenance. The Standard did notapply to temporary equipment used for construction work or to devices raised and loweredmanually.A120.1-1992 was the result of joint action by participating organizations under the auspices ofthe American Nat

24、ional Standards Institute (ANSI). That Standard was approved through twovotes of the ANSI A120 Committee, at a meeting in New York City (October 17, 1991) and byletter ballot (dated December 30, 1991).In 1995, ASME again assumed sponsorship of the Standard. ASME A120.1-1996 was approvedby ANSI on Ap

25、ril 17, 1996. ASME A120.1-2001 was approved by ANSI on July 3, 2001.ASME A120.1-2006 was approved by ANSI on September 20, 2006. ASME A120.1-2008 wasapproved by ANSI on July 16, 2008.This revision was approved by ANSI on March 4, 2014.ivASME A120 COMMITTEESafety Requirements for Powered Platformsfor

34、ING MAINTENANCE1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ANDDEFINITIONS1.1 ScopeThis Standard establishes safety requirements forpowered platforms (scaffolds) for buildings where win-dow cleaning and related services are accomplished bymeans of suspended equipment at heights in excess of35 ft (11 m) above a safe su

35、rface (e.g., grade, street, floor,or roof level). Additionally, this Standard establishessafety requirements for permanent traveling ladders andgantries (TLG).It pertains to either permanently installed or trans-portable equipment meeting the requirements of thisStandard.Powered platforms and TLGs m

36、ay be used or operatedby one or more persons engaged in services such asnormal building maintenance. The equipment may alsobe used for tasks such as caulking, metal polishing,reglazing, or other building repairs.This Standard does not apply to other suspendedpowered platforms used for remedial renov

37、ations ormodifications to buildings. The safe use of these scaf-folds is included in ANSI A10.8-2001, SafetyRequirements for Scaffolding.This Standard does not relate to any service performedby persons supported by equipment covered by any ofthe ANSI A92 standards.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this Stan

38、dard is to ensure the protec-tion of powered platform users and traveling ladder andgantry users, and persons exposed to equipment usedwith the previously described maintenance of buildings.It is also intended for use by architects, engineers,designers, manufacturers, inspectors, purchasers, build-i

39、ng owners, and others associated with the installation ofpowered platforms and traveling ladders and gantries.Additionally, it is recommended for use by enforce-ment agencies having jurisdiction over the installationof powered platforms and traveling ladders and gantriesto ensure that the platforms

40、meet the safety provisionsof this Standard.11.3 Application of This Standard1.3.1 Applications. This Standard applies to theinstallation of all powered platforms and traveling lad-ders and gantries.1.3.2 Deviations. Deviations from the requirementsof this Standard may be granted by the enforcing aut

41、hor-ity if it is determined that a specific requirement createspractical difficulty or excessive hardship, or where thespecific requirement prevents the use of a novel design,only when equivalent safety is provided.1.3.3 Alterations(a) Any existing building being serviced may con-tinue to be service

42、d until the building is altered, requir-ing a modification of the installation. Alteration of thebuilding and equipment modification shall then bemade to comply with the applicable parts of thisStandard.(b) If the authority having jurisdiction believes thathazards exist to warrant a change in an exi

43、sting installa-tion, the authority may require compliance with anypart of this Standard. If a qualified person deems thata hazard exists, the hazard shall be corrected, and thecorrection shall be in compliance with this Standard.(c) Once a building permit is issued or modified, thecurrent version of

44、 the Standard shall apply.1.4 Applicable UnitsThis edition of the Standard uses U.S. Customary unitswith acceptable metric (SI) units shown in parentheses.NOTE: The metric values stated may not be exact equivalents tothe U.S. Customary units.Information on the usage of SI units and their conver-sion

45、 from U.S. Customary units is contained in theIEEE/ASTM SI 10-1997, Standard for the Use of theInternational System of Units (SI): The Modern MetricSystem; or ASME Guide SI-1, Orientation and Guidefor Use of SI (Metric) Units.1.5 ReferencesWhen a nationally recognized standard, other thanthat specif
