Foreword

This document (EN 13000:2010+A1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 “Cranes ―
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by November 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by November 2014.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes !EN 13000:2010".

This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 2014-02-09.

The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

!For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document."

This standard applies to mobile cranes which are put on the market 12 months after the date of ratification by CEN
of this standard or at the latest 2015-02-09.

This document has been prepared by Product Working Group CEN/TC 147/WG 11 "Mobile Cranes", the secretariat
of which is held by DIN.

!CEN/TC 147 WG11 has reviewed EN 13000:2010 to adapt the standard to the technical progress, new
requirements and changes in standards referenced; the main topics are:

 The scope of this standard has been amended to cover gaps and overlaps with other European Standards.
 Several wind related incidents forced the introduction of more clarification on wind loads and the development
of explanations to be added in the instruction manual (4.1.2.2.2 and 6.2.2.4).
 The limit value for the noise measured at the operator position has been aligned with the actual legal
requirements and the former noise clause has been reorganized to improve readability (5.3, 6.1.2 and Annex
G).
 To cover the risk of a wrong setting of the outrigger configuration and to align the standard with other
European Standards and recently introduced regulations outside of the EEA, requirements for outrigger
monitoring are introduced (4.2.6.2.5)."
Annexes A, C, D, E, F, G.1 and G.2, H, J.1 to J.4, K.1 to K.5, L, M, P, R, S and U are normative. Annexes B.1 and
B.2, N.1 to N.3, Q, T, V and W are informative.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,

Introduction

This European Standard is a type C standard.

This European Standard has been prepared to provide one means for mobile cranes to conform with the essential
health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

!CEN/TC147 WG11 had set up a dedicated working group with representatives from crane manufacturers,
electronic component suppliers and Health and Safety organizations. This group did a thorough investigation in the
transition from EN 954 to EN ISO 13849 and came to the conclusion that this transition is not currently feasible for
mobile cranes.

The required Performance Level was determined by risk assessment according to EN 1050; it was established as
PLr=c; this value is not achievable with components currently available on the market and is as such beyond the
state of the art for mobile cranes. This is mainly due to the amount of signals to be processed simultaneously.

Therefore, in the present amendment A1, the requirements given for safety related parts of control systems will
refer to EN 954."

1 Scope

This European Standard is applicable to the design, construction, installation of safety devices, information for use,
maintenance and testing of mobile cranes as defined in ISO 4306-2 !deleted text". !Examples of mobile
crane types are given in Annex A."

!This European Standard does not apply to:

• loader cranes (see EN 12999)

• off-shore cranes (see EN 13852-1)

• floating cranes (see EN 13852-2)

This is a free 9 page sample. Access the full version online.

• variable reach truck (see EN 1459)

NOTE 1 Variable Reach Trucks are commonly known as telehandlers.

• mobile self-erecting tower cranes

• earth-moving machinery used for object handling (see EN 474-series)."

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

!NOTE 2" The use of mobile cranes for the lifting of persons is subject to specific national regulations.

Mobile cranes covered by this European Standard are designed for a limited number of stress cycles and particular properties of
motions, e.g. smooth application of the driving forces and loading conditions according to ISO 4301-2:1985, group A1.

For a duty cycle such as grab, magnet or similar work, additional provisions are required which are outside the scope of this
European Standard.

The hazards covered by this European Standard are identified by Annex C.

This document is not applicable to mobile cranes which are manufactured before the date of publication of this
document by CEN.
