Describes the requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes including their supporting pedestals or structures.

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: fabrication, transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling, scrapping or changing the configuration of the crane; lifting accessories, i.e. any item between the hook and the load; minimum design temperature below −20 °C; operations at an ambient temperature above 45 °C; NOTE: For equipment designed for operation in explosive atmospheres, the normal ambient temperature range is −20 °C to +40 °C, unless otherwise specified and marked. See Annex O and relevant standards indicated for complete information. lifting operations involving more than one crane; accidental loads due to collisions; hand powered cranes and other cranes with a rated capacity less than 2 t or outreach less than 8 m; emergency rescue operations; (except training) 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.
