Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with these requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Union, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called presumption of conformity). This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and, as such, they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent by design and theoretical verification, mechanical hazards in crane hooks. This European Standard covers the following parts of hooks and types of hooks: - bodies of any type of hooks made of steel forgings; - machined shanks of hooks with a thread/nut suspension. Principles of this European Standard can be applied to machined shanks of hooks in general. However, stress concentration factors relevant to designs not given in this standard would have to be determined and applied. Cast hooks and plate hooks, which are those, assembled of one or several parallel parts of rolled steel plates, are not covered in this European Standard. The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clauses 4 to 8 of this document are necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards: a) exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue); b) exceeding temperature limits of material. The requirements of this European Standard are stated in the main body of the document and are applicable to forged hook designs in general. The commonly used hook body and shank designs listed in Annexes A, B and F are only examples and should not be referred to as requirements of this European Standard. Annex I gives guidance for the selection of a hook size, where a hook body is in accordance with Annex A or B. This European Standard is applicable to cranes, which are manufactured after the date of approval of this European Standard by CEN, and serves as a reference base for product standards of particular crane types. This part of EN 13001 deals only with the limit state method in accordance with EN 13001-1. This standard contains the German version of EN 13001-3-5:2016 prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 "Cranes - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard differs from DIN SPEC 1186:2010-11 as follows: a) normative references and the bibliography have been updated; b) inclusion of an informative Annex ZA on the relationship between this European Standard and the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The national interests during the preparation of the standard were represented by the committee NA 060-22-10 AA "Lenkungsausschuss Krane und Hebezeuge" ("Steering committee cranes and lifting equipment") and NA 060-22-10-21 AK "Konstruktion - Allgemein ("Design - General") (SpA CEN/TC 147/WG 2 and SpA ISO/TC 96/SC 10)" at Technical Section "Krane und Hebezeuge" ("Cranes and lifting equipment") at DIN Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM). Representatives of the manufacturers and users of cranes and lifting equipment as well as of professional and trade associations were involved in the preparation of this standard.
