(Amendment)Cranes - Safety - Non-fixed load lifting attachments
Cranes - Safety - Non-fixed load lifting attachments
This document specifies safety requirements for the following non-fixed load lifting attachments for cranes, hoists and manually controlled load manipulating devices:
a) plate clamps;
b) vacuum lifters:
1) self-priming;
2) non-self-priming (pump, venturi, turbine);
c) lifting magnets:
1) electric lifting magnets (battery fed and mains-fed);
2) permanent lifting magnets;
3) electro-permanent lifting magnets;
d) lifting beams;
e) C-hooks;
f) lifting forks;
g) clamps;
h) lifting insert systems for use in normal weight concrete,
as defined in Clause 3.
This document does not give requirements for:
- non-fixed load lifting attachments in direct contact with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals requiring a high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons;
- hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials (e.g. explosives, hot molten masses, radiating materials);
- hazards caused by operation in an explosive atmosphere;
- hazards caused by noise;
- hazards relating to the lifting of persons;
- electrical hazards;

For high risk applications not covered by this standard, EN 13001-2:2014, 4.3.2 gives guidance to deal with them.
This document covers the proof of static strength, the elastic stability and the proof of fatigue strength.
This document does not generally applies to attachments intended to lift above people. Some attachments are suitable for that purpose if equipped with additional safety features. In such cases the additional safety features are specified in the specific requirements.
This document does not cover slings, ladles, expanding mandrels, buckets, grabs, or grab buckets. This document does not cover power operated container handling spreaders, which are in the scope of EN 15056.
This document is not applicable to non-fixed load attachments manufactured before the date of its publication.

European foreword
This document (EN 13155:2020/prA1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147
“Cranes - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annexe ZA, which is an integral
part of EN 13155:2020.
The main modifications compared to EN 13155:2020 concern:
— there are two distinct verification methods, by calculation and test or by test only. The errors
associated with each of these verification methods have been rectified;
— the verification by test only requires testing to the elastic condition, 2 × WLL without permanent
deformation and yielded condition, 3 × WLL without releasing the load;
— the verification by calculation makes allowance for lower working coefficients for certain
technically justified cases. The calculated results are supported by testing using a variable sliding scale
of test loads for verification of the calculated mechanical strength has been included.

5 Modifications to Clause 5, "Safety requirements and/or protective measures"
In 5.1.2.1, replace the text of the subclause with:
"The coefficients mentioned below cover the uncertainties of the value of the actual load and the impact
factor for hoisting a grounded load (dynamic effect) in general applications. The proof of fatigue strength
is not necessary, it is covered by the global safety of the proof of static strength.
— Verification by calculation.
The mechanical load bearing parts shall be designed to withstand a static load of two times the
working load limit without permanent deformation.
If technically justified this factor can be reduced further but not less than 1.65. A technical
justification would be accurate estimation of a lower dynamic factor imposed by the specific rigging
and lifting machinery being used.
NOTE The factor two above covers all cases of any combinations of partial safety factor (γ ), dynamic factor
p
and resistance factor (γ ) (see EN 13001 series).
m
— Verification by test only
The mechanical load bearing parts shall be designed to withstand a static load of two times the
working load limit without permanent deformation.
The mechanical load bearing parts shall be designed to withstand a static load of three times the
working load limit without releasing the load even if permanent deformation occurs.".
In 5.1.2.2, replace all text in the subclause with the following:
"The proof of the static strength regarding elastic and yielded condition shall meet 5.1.2.1. Fatigue
strength shall be proved in accordance with the methods stated in EN 13001-1:2015, EN 13001-2:2021
and EN 13001-3-1:2012+A2:2018. Consideration to other parts of the EN 13001 series that would be
applicable to the specific device shall be included, for example EN 13001-3-5:2016+A1:2021, Cranes -
General design - Part 3-5: Limit states and proof of competence of forged and cast hooks.".
In 5.1.2.3, replace all text in the subclause with the following:
“Load lifting attachments should be designed for an unintended tilt angle of ±6 degrees deviation from
the maximum working angle.
EN 13155:2020/prA1:2023 (E)
If technically justified an unintended tilt angle less than 6 degrees can be used.“.
In 5.1.5, replace the list of standards with the following:
"
— EN 818-4:1996+A1:2008;
— EN 818-5:1999+A1:2008;
— EN 1492-1:2000+A1:2008;
— EN 1492-2:2000+A1:2008;

— EN ISO 3266:2010+A1:2015.
".
In 5.1.7, replace the reference to EN ISO 5817 with "EN ISO 5817:2014".
In 5.2.3.4.3, replace the reference to EN 349 with “EN ISO 13854:2019” to read:
“The control for operating the magnet in accordance with EN 13854:2019 with regard to the place for the
operator’s hands.“.
In 5.2.3.5.2 replace the second paragraph with:
“The monitoring device shall comply with a minimum performance level c, control category 3 of EN ISO
13849-1:2015.”.
In 5.2.5.3 add the following paragraph and NOTE after the second indent: “
Where whole load containment is needed by a secondary means, the correct system should be selected,
e.g. using a brick box, cage or full containment for an unsecure pallet of blocks. A crane fork with load-
resistant net should not be selected, as this is not a suitable or safe method of lifting.
NOTE A load-resistant net is not designed to contain a whole load. Also, any damage to the net significantly
reduces its load carrying capacity.“.
EN 13155:2020/prA1:2023 (E)
In 5.2.6 Lifting beams, add a new subclause at beginning as follows. All subsequent clauses renumbered
accordingly:
“5.2.6.1 Static strength and elastic stability
The mechanical load bearing parts shall have a mechanical strength to fulfil requirements of 5.1.2.".
Renumber the subsequent subclauses accordingly.
In 5.2.6.3.1, now changed as above to 5.2.6.4.1, replace the text of the subclause as follows:
“5.2.6.4.1 If the lifting beam is intended to tilt, the manufacturer shall indicate the maximum permissible
angle of tilt from the horizontal. If the lifting beam is intended for horizontal use, the design shall tolerate
a tilt according to 5.1.2.3 from the horizontal.”.
In 5.2.6.3.2, now changed as above to 5.2.6.4.2, replace the text of the subclause as follows:
“5.2.6.4.2 Moving parts of the structure shall have devices to hold them in position when loaded. These
devices shall be effective up to the maximum tilting angle specified in 5.1.2.3 for the lifting beam. If these
devices operate on a friction basis the safety factor to prevent the load from slipping shall be at least 2.”.
In 5.2.6.3.4, now changed as above to 5.2.6.4.4, replace the standards reference “EN 349” with “EN ISO
13854:2019”.

“EN 12385:2002+A1:2008 and EN 13414-1:2003+A1:2008".
6 Modifications to Clause 6, "Verification of the safety requirements and/or
protective measures"
In Clause 6, add as new fourth paragraph the following:
