Decommissioning
Section 51. Lifting platforms that are operated and moved with power must be secured against
unauthorised use after decommissioning.
To Section 51:
Note
The term “Decommissioning” is addressed in the standard sheet DIN 32541 “Operation of
machinery and similar technical work equipment; terms
for activities” Edition May 1977).
According to this, decommissioning is deemed to be the “cessation of the provision for use”.
According to the meaning, decommissioning according to the standard sheet is therefore the
final withdrawal of a machine or the withdrawal of a machine over a prolonged period of time.
However, this interpretation for decommissioning within the meaning of the accident prevention
regulations would mean that this situation may already occur in the case of a work interruption,
if due to the operational circumstances it is necessary to secure the lifting platform against
unauthorised use.
