The work of developing International Standards is carried out through IsO technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adoptedby the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. International Standard ISO 1819 was developed by Technical Committee IsO/Tc 101, Continuous mechanical handling equipment, and was circulated to thememberbodiesinMarch1976. It has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries : Australia France South Africa, Rep. of Germany Austria Spain Belgium India Sweden Bulgaria Japan Turkey United Kingdom Chile Mexico Philippines U.S.S.R. Czechoslovakia Finland Poland Yugoslavia The member bodies of the following countries expressed disapproval of the docu- ment on technical grounds : Netherlands Norway This International Standard cancels and replaces ISO Recommendation R 1819-1970, of which it constitutes a technical revision. @ International Organization for Standardization, 1977 Printed in Switzerland COPYRIGHTInternational 1819-77 ISO 1819-1977 (E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Continuous mechanical handling equipment - Safety code - General rules 0 INTRODUCTION Skilled personnel - fitters, maintenance and repair person- nel, who only work from time to time at the request of the It must be understood that the present International person responsible for the plant - - shall observe special Standard applies only to conveyingdevices that have been rules, particularly those set out in 2.3.17 to 2.3.21. correctly designed, and constructed and erected with care.
