Cranes - Safety - Requirements for equipment

Edition date: 2026-07-22
In Force
Available languages: German, English, French
Summary: This document specifies requirements for the design and selection of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment used in all types of cranes and their associated fixed load lifting attachments with the objectives of protecting personnel from hazards affecting their health and safety. NOTE 1 Specific requirements for particular types of cranes, and for load lifting attachments, are given in the appropriate European Standard. The electrical equipment covered by this document commences at the point of connection of the supply to the crane (the crane supply switch) including systems for power supply and control feeders situated outside the crane, e.g. flexible cables, conductor wires or bars, electric motors and cableless controls. The principles to be applied for cranes transporting hazardous loads are given in this document. Particular requirements are given for cranes transporting hot molten metal. This document does not cover the detail design of individual items of equipment except with regard to their selection for specific aspects of use. The proof of competence calculations and related strength requirements or safety margins of equipment and components are not covered by this document. NOTE 2 Some safety margins are given here for issues not covered in the EN 13001 series. Hazards due to noise are not covered by this document. They are addressed in safety standards specific to each type of crane. The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionizing radiation, and operation in electromagnetic fields are not covered by this document. The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A. This document is not applicable to cranes manufactured before the date of its publication.

Le présent document spécifie des exigences pour la conception et le choix des équipements électriques, mécaniques, hydrauliques et pneumatiques utilisés pour tous les types d’appareils de levage à charge suspendue et leurs accessoires fixes de levage de charge, dans le but de s’assurer de la fiabilité des fonctions et de protéger le personnel des phénomènes dangereux qui pourraient affecter leur santé et leur sécurité. NOTE 1 Des exigences spécifiques pour des types particuliers d’appareils de levage à charge suspendue et pour leurs accessoires de levage de charge sont données dans la Norme européenne appropriée. L’équipement électrique couvert par le présent document commence au point de raccordement de l’alimentation de l’appareil de levage à charge suspendue (l’interrupteur d’alimentation de l’appareil de levage à charge suspendue), il comprend les alimentations de puissance et les alimentations de commande situées à l’extérieur de l’appareil de levage à charge suspendue, telles que les câbles souples, les fils électriques ou les barres conductrices, les moteurs électriques et les commandes sans fil. Les principes à suivre pour des appareils de levage à charge suspendue transportant des charges dangereuses sont donnés dans le présent document. Des exigences particulières sont indiquées pour les appareils de levage à charge suspendue transportant du métal en fusion. Le présent document ne couvre pas la conception détaillée des éléments individuels de l’équipement, sauf en ce qui concerne leur sélection pour des aspects spécifiques d’utilisation. Les calculs de vérification d’aptitude et les exigences relatives à la résistance ou aux marges de sécurité correspondantes s’appliquant à l’équipement et aux composants ne sont pas couverts par le présent document. NOTE 2 Certaines marges de sécurité sont données ici pour les éléments qui ne sont pas traités dans la série EN 13001. Les phénomènes dangereux liés au bruit ne sont pas couverts par le présent document. Ils sont traités dans les normes de sécurité spécifiques de chaque type d’appareil de levage à charge suspendue. Les phénomènes dangereux spécifiques dus à des atmosphères potentiellement explosives, au rayonnement ionisant et à l’utilisation dans des champs électromagnétiques, ne sont pas couverts par le présent document. Les phénomènes dangereux significatifs couverts par le présent document sont identifiés à l’Annexe A. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux appareils de levage à charge suspendue fabriquées avant la date de sa publication.

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an die Konstruktion und Auswahl der elektrischen, mechanischen, hydraulischen und pneumatischen Ausrüstung für alle Arten von Kranen und an deren zugehörige fest eingescherte Lastaufnahmemittel fest, mit dem Ziel, das Personal vor Gefährdungen seiner Sicherheit und Gesundheit zu schützen. ANMERKUNG 1 Besondere Anforderungen an spezielle Kranarten und Lastaufnahmemittel sind in den entsprechenden Europäischen Normen angegeben. Die elektrische Ausrüstung, die von diesem Dokument abgedeckt wird, beginnt an der Netzanschlussstelle des Krans (dem Kranhauptschalter) und schließt Systeme für Energieversorgung und Steuerleitungen außerhalb des Krans, z. B. flexible Leitungen, Schleifleitungen, Elektromotoren und kabellose Steuerungen, mit ein. Für Krane, die gefährliche Lasten transportieren, sind die anzuwendenden Grundsätze in diesem Dokument angegeben. Besondere Anforderungen werden an den Transport feuerflüssiger Metalle gestellt. Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Detailkonstruktion einzelner Einheiten der Ausrüstung, außer im Hinblick auf ihre Auswahl für bestimmte Aspekte der Anwendung. Berechnungen zum Sicherheitsnachweis und Festigkeitsanforderungen oder Sicherheitsabstände für Ausrüstung und Einzelteile sind nicht Bestandteil dieses Dokuments. ANMERKUNG 2 Für in der Normenreihe EN 13001 nicht aufgeführte Positionen werden hier einige Sicherheitsabstände aufgeführt. Gefährdungen durch Lärm sind nicht Bestandteil dieses Dokuments. Diese werden in den Sicherheitsnormen für die jeweiligen Kranarten behandelt. Besondere Gefährdungen durch explosionsgefährdete Bereiche, ionisierende Strahlung und den Betrieb in elektromagnetischen Feldern werden in dem vorliegenden Dokument nicht behandelt. Die in diesem Dokument behandelten signifikanten Gefährdungen sind in Anhang A angegeben. Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für Krane, die vor der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments hergestellt wurden.
