of machinery when the primary source of energy is an external electrical supply.
This document does not provide performance requirements for safety related functions
of control system(s).
The following significant and relevant hazards are not covered in this document:
— Laser;
— Lightning.
This document does not deal with towing of trailers.
This document does not deal with demolition machinery.
This part also deals with fork application, log handling application, single heavy
object handling application and lifting operation application.
