Annexes B, C, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, Nand O are normative. ‘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 98/37. For relationship with EU Directive 98/97, see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. ‘According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netheriands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Introduction This document is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070. ‘The machinery concemed 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 B standard, the provisions of this C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. This document is a harmonized standard to provide one means for general-purpose offshore cranes to conform with the relevant Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended. The standard is one in the series of standards of the CEN/CENELEC work program to produce standards for machine safety. It has been prepared to eliminate or reduce hazards when used in the development design and use of offshore cranes. This standard is one part of EN 13852. The other partis: Part 2: Floating Cranes i.e. a crane mounted on a vessel or barge designed for its support and transport, primarily intended for construction/deconstruction operations in a marine environment (This is not a harmonized standard). EN 13852-1:2004 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes including their supporting pedestals or structures. This standard applies to cranes manufactured after the date of issue of this standard, This European Standard does not cover: a) Fabrication, assembly, dismantling or changing the configuration of the crane; 'b) Lifting accessories, i.e. any item between the hook and the load; ©) Sub-sea lifting operations; 4) Design temperature below 20 ) Operations at an ambient temperature above 40 °C; 4) Lifting operations involving more than one crane; 9) Transportation of the crane; h) Loads due to earthquake; i) Cranes on seagoing vessels, excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive. ‘The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4 This standard includes requirements for the lifting of personnel ‘Where National Authorities permit the use of a general-purpose offshore crane for the lifting of personnel, the crane would at least need to fulfil the requirements of this standard. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications, These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

Care shall be taken to ensure that any such devices are reconnected, re-calibrated and re-tested, where appropriate, after the tests are completed. EN 13852-1:2004 (E) The noise test shall be carried out in accordance with annex N. 6.2.2 Function test The crane functions shall be operated throughout the full range of all permitted movements up to the maximum speeds and up to the maximum rated capacity, to demonstrate the satisfactory operation of the control system(s) and any limiting devices fitted. The functional test shall be carried out for every configuration (e.g. boom length, reeving arrangement) for which the crane is designed. 6.2.3 Static test A static test shall be carried out at the rated capacity (Ro or R,), where the test load is to be hoisted, luffed and slewed, at slow speed, throughout the full operational range. in the case of a variable rated capacity-radius crane the static tests are, generally, to be carried out for the appropriate rated capacity at: 2) maximum radius A; b) an intermediate radius B; ©) maximum capacity/maximum radius C. The static overioad shall be carried out for every configuration (e.g. boom length, reeving arrangement) such that the primary components are utilized up to their design load. The test loads are to be in accordance with clause 6.2.5. Key radius rated capacity maximum radius / maximum capacity and 3 intermediate radius maximum radius ANa 5 tonne = 1,67 mis for R, <5 tonne ‘Any operational limitations where the hoisting velocity of the crane is lower than the required value, shall be Clearly stated in the dynamic load charts and the operation manual. B.4.2 Horizontal hook velocity During loading and unloading of supply vessels, it is essential that the crane hook can follow the horizontal ‘movements of the cargo deck in order to compensate for the relative motions. The velocity of slewing, and ‘where practicable the boom luffing velocity, shall have the capacity to follow the horizontal movement of the supply vessel ‘The minimum horizontal hook velocity shall be a result ofthe following requirements: a) Minimum average luffing speed: 0,5 %/s for Hye $ 3,0 m 4,0 %s for Hy > 3,0 m; b) Minimum slewing speed at maximum radius without load: 3 m/s at boom tip, B.5 Load combinations Case |: Regular loads under normal operation without wind Case I; Regular loads under normal operation combined with wind Case Ill; Regular loads combined with occasional and exceptional loads ep Partial safety factor im Resistance coefficient ym = 1,10 ‘At: Hoisting and depositing loads, ‘A2; Load and lifting attachment suspended. ‘3: Crane when lifting personnel.
