ALTHOUGH BRITISH STANDARDS ARE FOR GUIDANCE ONLY AND AS
SUCH, COMPLIANCE IS NOT MANDATORY, WE USUALLY RECOMMEND
THAT THE GUIDANCE CONTAINED WITHIN THESE STANDARDS IS
FOLLOWED AS THIS WILL USUALLY HELP YOU COMPLY WITH YOUR
DUTIES UNDER HEALTH & SAFETY LEGISLATION. HOWEVER, SOME
STANDARDS HAVE BEEN REVISED / REWRITTEN BY EUROPEAN
TECHNICAL COMMIT TEES AND UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF THE
REPLACEMENT STANDARDS, SPECIFICALLY BS EN 13157, APPEARS TO
HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY PERSONS WITH VERY LITTLE OR INDEED NO
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT, I.E. THE NEW STANDARD
DOES NOT CONTAIN THE QUALITY TECHNICAL INFORMATION
NOR SAFETY ADVICE CONTAINED IN THE VARIOUS STANDARDS IT
SUPERSEDED. IT ALSO ADDRESSES LIFTING EQUIPMENT THAT
HAS NEVER EXISTED (NOR NEVER WILL). FOR THAT REASON, AND
IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, WE WILL CONTINUE TO QUOTE THE
PREVIOUS WITHDRAWN STANDARDS.
