This document applies to:

light crane systems, either suspended or free-standing systems, where the rated capacity of any single lifting device is 4 t or less;
pillar and wall-mounted jib cranes, without an operator’s cabin, whose rated capacity is 10 t or less and whose overturning load moment is 500 kNm or less.

NOTE For illustration of crane types, see Annex B.

This document is not applicable to cranes covered by another product specific crane standard, e.g. EN 15011:2011+A1:2014 or EN 14985:2012.

This document is applicable to cranes and crane systems, whose structures are made of steel or aluminium, excluding aluminium structures containing welded joints.

This document gives requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cranes, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionizing radiation, operation in electromagnetic fields beyond the range of EN 61000-6-2:2016 and operation in pharmacy or food industry are not covered by this document.

This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.

This document is applicable to cranes, which are manufactured after the date of its publication by CEN as a European Standard.

This document is not applicable to cranes manufactured before the date of its publication.
