It&#8217;s also one of the most misunderstood references in procurement.

A &#8220;goods hoist&#8221; can&#8217;t legally carry people just because the cage is big enough. And a temporary builders&#8217; hoist isn&#8217;t automatically suitable as a permanent building lift.<\/p><h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"what-changed-with-en-12159-2024\">What changed with EN 12159:2024<\/h2><p class=\"translation-block\">CEN approved the revised standard in <strong>June 2024<\/strong>, and it superseded the 2012 edition. National adoptions followed (for example DIN EN 12159:2024-11 in Germany and SS-EN 12159:2024 in Sweden). The revision work brought the standard up to date with current technology, and it deals more explicitly with the hoist <strong>installation<\/strong>, including landing gates and their frames.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>What this means for buyers:<\/strong> ask which edition a hoist&#8217;s EC type-examination and Declaration of Conformity refer to. A hoist designed and certified to the 2012 edition isn&#8217;t non-compliant just because a newer edition exists. Machinery already placed on the market isn&#8217;t re-certified each time a standard is revised. But for new procurement and tenders, it&#8217;s reasonable to ask how the supplier is addressing the 2024 changes.<\/p><h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"where-en-12159-sits-in-eu-machinery-law\">Where EN 12159 sits in EU machinery law<\/h2><h3 class=\"translation-block\">Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC (until 19 January 2027)<\/h3><p class=\"translation-block\">Construction hoists are machinery. Under Directive 2006\/42\/EC, devices for lifting persons, or persons and goods, with a hazard of falling from a vertical height of more than 3 m are listed in <strong>Annex IV<\/strong>, the list of higher-risk machinery. For these machines the manufacturer typically involves a <strong>Notified Body<\/strong>, for example through an <strong>EC type-examination<\/strong>, before affixing the CE mark.<\/p><h3 class=\"translation-block\">Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023\/1230 (from 20 January 2027)<\/h3><p class=\"translation-block\">The Regulation replaces the Directive and <strong>applies directly in every Member State from 20 January 2027<\/strong>. For hoist users, the key points are:<\/p><ul><li class=\"translation-block\">Machinery placed on the EU market from that date must meet the Regulation&#8217;s requirements.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">The list of higher-risk machinery and the conformity-assessment routes are reorganised (Annex I of the Regulation). Manufacturers of person-lifting equipment need to confirm the applicable route.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Instructions may be supplied in digital form, with a paper copy available on request.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Harmonised standards such as EN 12159 continue to be the main way to demonstrate conformity, once they are cited for the Regulation.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"translation-block\">Other EU legislation that applies to the electrical side<\/h3><ul><li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>EMC Directive 2014\/30\/EU<\/strong>: electromagnetic compatibility of the control system and drives.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Low-voltage safety objectives<\/strong>: covered for machinery through the essential requirements of machinery law.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"translation-block\">In <strong>T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong>, the Machinery Directive is transposed as the <em>Makine Emniyeti Y\u00f6netmeli\u011fi<\/em> (Machinery Safety Regulation), which is why Turkish manufacturers exporting to the EU work within the same CE framework.<\/p><h2 class=\"translation-block\" id=\"the-standards-that-sit-next-to-en-12159\">The standards that sit next to EN 12159<\/h2><p class=\"translation-block\">EN 12159 is a &#8220;type-C&#8221; product standard.
