R 408.15821 Construction, modification, and remounting.

Rule 5821. (1) Aerial work platforms modified, remounted, designed, constructed, and tested after December 28, 1974, but before the effective date of this rule, shall be in compliance with the requirements of the following applicable American National Standards Institute Standards: (a) ANSI standard A92.2, “Standard for Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms,” 1969 edition. (b) ANSI standard A92.3, "Manually Propelled Elevating Work Platforms", 1990 edition. (c) ANSI standard A92.5, "Boom-Supported Elevating Work Platforms", 1992 edition. (d) ANSI standard A92.6, "Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms", 1999 edition. These standards are adopted by reference in R 408.15810. (2) A permanent label or tag shall be affixed to an aerial work platform modified, remounted, designed, constructed, or tested after March 28, 1975, but before the effective date of these rules, certifying compliance with subrule (1) of this rule. (3) Aerial work platforms modified, remounted, designed, constructed, and tested, after January 1, 2007, shall be in compliance with the requirements of the following applicable American National Standards Institute Standards: (a) ANSI standard A92.2, "Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices", 2001 edition. (b) ANSI standard A92.3, "Manually Propelled Elevating Aerial Platforms", 2006 edition. (c) ANSI standard A92.5, "Boom-Supported Elevating Work Platforms", 2006 edition. (d) ANSI standard A92.6, "Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms", 1999 edition. These standards are adopted by reference in R 408.15810. (4) An aerial work platform shall bear a permanent plate stating the designed rating capacity. (5) An aerial work platform shall be mounted on a vehicle capable of sustaining, or reinforced to sustain, the imposed load. The vehicle shall be a stable support for the aerial device. (6) The lifting and outrigger system of an aerial work platform shall be equipped with a means, such as, but not limited to, a pilot operated check valve to ensure that the system will not permit the work platform to drop in a free fall in event of a power or hydraulic line failure. (7) Aerial work platforms shall not be field-modified for uses other than those intended by the manufacturer, unless the modification has been certified in writing by the manufacturer or by any other equivalent entity, such as a nationally recognized testing laboratory, to be in compliance with the applicable ANSI standard and this rule, and to be at least as safe as the equipment was before modification.
