Cranes - Equipment - Part 2: Non-electrotechnical equipment

This document specifies requirements for design and selection of non-electrotechnical equipment for all types of crane with the objectives of protecting personnel from hazards affecting their lives and health and of ensuring reliability of function. The fixed load lifting attachments are integral part of the crane and therefore belong also to the scope of this standard.
Non-electrotechnical equipment comprises:
-   Structure and structural equipment;
-   driving mechanisms;
-   rope and chain drives;
-   fixed load lifting attachments;
-   safety devices;
-   fluid power systems.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in clause 4.
Hazards due to noise are not covered by this standard. They are addressed for complete crane in safety standard specific to each type of crane.
The principles to be applied for cranes transporting hazardous loads are given in this standard. Particular requirements are given for cranes transporting hot molten metal.
This standard does not give the additional requirements for:
-   equipment requiring a high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons, e.g. in direct contact with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals;
-   equipment operating in clean rooms with a dust controlled environment, (e.g. satellite assembling room, electronic industry, food processing, pharmaceuticals processing);
-   hazards resulting from handling explosives and radiating material;
-   hazards caused by operation subject to special regulations (e.g. explosive atmospheres);
-   the risk related to lifting of persons.
This document is applicable to non-electrotechnical equipment which is manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

Krane -Ausrüstungen - Teil 2: Nicht-elektrotechnische Ausrüstungen

Diese Europäische Norm spezifiziert Anforderungen an die Konstruktion und Auswahl nicht-elektrotechnischer Ausrüstungen für alle Typen von Kranen mit dem Ziel, die Zuverlässigkeit ihrer Funktion zu garantieren und Personal vor Gefährdungen für Leben und Gesundheit zu schützen. Die Lastaufnahmemittel fallen ebenfalls in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm. Die in dieser Norm festgelegten Anforderungen beziehen sich nur auf den "Kran". Sie gelten jedoch auch für die Lastaufnahmemittel, sofern anwendbar.

Appareils de levage à charge suspendue - Équipements - Partie 2: Équipements non électrotechniques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions relatives à la conception et à la sélection des équipements non électrotechniques pour tous les types d'appareils de levage à charge suspendue, dans le but de s'assurer de la fiabilité des fonctions et de protéger le personnel vis-à-vis des phénomènes dangereux qui pourraient en affecter leur santé et leur sécurité. Les équipements fixes de prise de charge font partie intégrante de l'appareil de levage à charge suspendue et font ainsi également partie du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Un équipement non électrotechnique comprend :
- une structure et un équipement structurel ;
- des mécanismes d'entraînement ;
- des entraînements par câble et par chaîne ;
- des équipements fixes de prise de charge ;
- des dispositifs de sécurité ;
¾ des systèmes de transmission hydraulique ou pneumatique.
Les phénomènes dangereux significatifs couverts par la présente Norme européenne sont identifiés à l'Article 4.
Les risques liés au bruit ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme. Ils sont traités pour un appareil de levage à charge suspendue complet dans une norme de sécurité spécifique à chaque appareil de levage à charge suspendue.
Les principes à suivre pour des appareils de levage à charge suspendue transportant des charges dangereuses sont donnés dans la présente norme. Des prescriptions particulières sont indiquées pour les appareils de levage à charge suspendue transportant du métal en fusion.
La présente norme ne fournit par les prescriptions supplémentaires pour :
¾ les équipements nécessitant un haut niveau de propreté pour des raisons d'hygiène, par exemple  les équipements en contact direct avec les denrées alimentaires ou les produits pharmaceutiques ;
¾ les équipements fonctionnant dans des salles blanches sous un environnement au taux de poussière contrôlé (par exemple salle d'assemblage de satellite, industrie électronique, agroalimentaire, traitement de produits pharmaceutiques) ;
