This European Standard specifies the requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes including their supporting pedestals or structures.

The standard is applicable to general-purpose offshore cranes covered by the scope of this European Standard which are manufactured after the date of its publication as EN.

This European Standard is not applicable to general-purpose offshore cranes which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.

This European Standard does not cover use of – or hazards relating to the following:

  1. fabrication, transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling, scrapping or changing the configuration of the crane;

  2. lifting accessories, i.e. any item between the hook and the load;

  3. minimum design temperature below āˆ’20 Ā°C;

  4. operations at an ambient temperature above 45 Ā°C;

    NOTE: For equipment designed for operation in explosive atmospheres, the normal ambient temperature range is āˆ’20 Ā°C to +40 Ā°C, unless otherwise specified and marked. See Annex O and relevant standards indicated for complete information.

  5. lifting operations involving more than one crane;

  6. accidental loads due to collisions;

  7. hand powered cranes and other cranes with a rated capacity less than 2 t or outreach less than 8 m;

  8. emergency rescue operations; (except training)

  9. subsea lifting operations.

The significant hazards covered by this European standard are identified in Clause 4.

This European Standard includes requirements for the lifting of personnel by a general-purpose offshore crane.
