This document covers shank hooks made of steel forgings or steel castings, including stainless steel, with shanks machined for a thread/nut suspension of the hook.
Plate hooks, which are those, assembled of one or several parallel parts of rolled steel plates, are not covered by this document.
The significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse are identified in Annex N. Clauses 4 to 6 of this document provide requirements and methods to reduce or eliminate the risks of exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue, brittle fracture) considering temperature limits of material.
The hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex N. This document is applicable to hooks installed in cranes 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 13001-1:2015.

This document also applies to MEWPs designed for applications requiring special access to specific work areas. These MEWPs can be either self-propelled or manually propelled and are used to elevate personnel to a level at which they can place, install, or retrieve objects or material on a routine basis. To facilitate operator access to the work area, the retraction of a portion of the MEWP's work platform guardrail system(s) can be necessary. This document is intended to serve as a guide for manufacturers and remanufacturers of MEWPs to achieve the following objectives: — elimination or reduction of accidents and personal injuries; — establishment of criteria for design, manufacture, remanufacture, rebuild/recondition, testing and performance; — establishment and understanding by manufacturers and remanufacturers of their responsibilities. The design and manufacturing requirements of this document apply to all MEWPs manufactured or remanufactured on or after the effective date, but it is not applicable to rebuilt or reconditioned MEWPs.
