The EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 standard provides comprehensive safety requirements for various non-fixed load lifting attachments used with cranes, hoists, and manually controlled load manipulating devices. It encompasses a wide range of lifting attachments, including plate clamps, vacuum lifters, electric and permanent lifting magnets, lifting beams, C-hooks, and lifting forks, as specified in clause 3. This extensive scope demonstrates the standard's relevance to multiple industries that rely on these devices for safe material handling. One of the strengths of this standard is its detailed identification of hazards associated with the specified lifting attachments. Clause 4 effectively outlines the potential risks, ensuring that manufacturers and users are aware of safety considerations when deploying these lifting solutions. Furthermore, the standard introduces a coefficient of utilization in clause 5.1.1, promoting a reliable assessment that eliminates the need for fatigue verification in attachments expected to endure less than 20,000 lifting cycles. This aspect aligns well with established calculation codes, such as FEM 1001, thus reinforcing its technical robustness. While EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 is highly relevant for non-fixed load lifting attachments, it notably excludes additional requirements for hazards associated with specific applications, such as those involving foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals. It also does not cover attachments designed to lift above people, nor does it address certain hazardous materials or environments, including electrical and noise hazards, which could limit its applicability in specialized scenarios. However, this focused approach allows for clear guidance in the areas it does cover, promoting safety without overwhelming users with overly broad stipulations. Overall, the standard serves as a critical framework for ensuring the safety and reliability of non-fixed load lifting attachments, highlighting its importance in the field of crane safety and material handling. Its relevant stipulations and identified hazards contribute significantly to promoting safe operational practices for manufacturers and users alike.

Die Norm EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 legt die Sicherheitsanforderungen für nicht feste Lastenhebeeinrichtungen fest, die in Verbindung mit Kränen, Hebevorrichtungen und manuell gesteuerten Lastenmanipulationsgeräten verwendet werden. Der Umfang dieser Norm ist umfassend und umfasst verschiedene Arten von Hebezeugen, darunter Plattenzangen, Vakuumheber, elektrische Hebemagnete sowie verschiedene spezielle Hebegeräte wie Hebebalken und C-Haken. Diese breite Abdeckung macht die Norm entscheidend für die Gewährleistung sicherer Anforderungen in verschiedenen Branchen, wo solche Geräte eingesetzt werden. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der EN 13155 ist, dass sie klare Kriterien für die Sicherheit von nicht festen Lastenhebeeinrichtungen liefert, ohne sich jedoch mit spezifischen Anforderungen auseinanderzusetzen, die in besonders sensitiven Bereichen wie der Lebensmittel- oder Pharmaindustrie erforderlich sind. Dies ermöglicht eine gezielte Anwendung der Norm auf allgemeinere Anwendungen, während die speziellen Hygienestandards der genannten Bereiche nicht tangiert werden. Zudem behandelt die Norm keine Risiken, die durch gefährliche Materialien, explosive Atmosphären oder hydraulische und pneumatische Komponenten entstehen, was den Rahmen der Norm klar definiert und ihre Stärken in Bezug auf Einfachheit und Klarheit hervorhebt. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist, dass die Norm eine explizite Ausklammerung von Hebezeugen vornimmt, die für das Heben von Personen gedacht sind, und somit den Anwendungsbereich klar eingrenzt. Dies trägt zur Vermeidung von Missverständnissen bei und stärkt die Sicherheit in Anwendungsbereichen, in denen persönliche Gefahren potenziell erheblich wären. Die Festlegungen bezüglich der mechanischen Festigkeit von strukturellen Elementen mit einer Lebensdauer von mehr als 20.000 Hubläufen gewährleisten zudem, dass die Norm auch in Bezug auf die Ermüdungsprüfung klare Richtlinien bietet. Zusammengefasst bietet die EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 eine fundierte Grundlage für die Sicherheit von nicht festen Lastenhebeeinrichtungen. Die klaren Definitionen und der angegebene Anwendungsbereich machen sie zu einem wertvollen Dokument für Hersteller und Betreiber, die sicherstellen möchten, dass ihre Geräte dem europäischen Sicherheitsstandard entsprechen. Die Relevanz dieser Norm in der praktischen Anwendung wird durch ihre Fähigkeit unterstrichen, spezifische Risiken auszublenden und sich auf die allgemeinen Sicherheitsanforderungen zu konzentrieren, wodurch sie zur Verbesserung der Arbeitssicherheit in der Industrie beiträgt.
La norme EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 établit des exigences de sécurité essentielles pour les accessoires de levage de charges non fixes utilisés avec des grues, des palans et des dispositifs de manipulation de charges contrôlés manuellement. Son champ d'application est clairement défini, comprenant des dispositifs variés tels que des pinces à plaque, des lifters à vide, des aimants de levage électriques, des poutres de levage, et d'autres équipements spécifiques mentionnés à la clause 3. Une des forces majeures de cette norme réside dans son approche systématique des exigences de sécurité. En spécifiant les types d'accessoires de levage non fixes, elle fournit un cadre robuste qui aide les fabricants et les utilisateurs à garantir la sécurité lors de l'utilisation de ces dispositifs. La mention des coefficients d'utilisation dans la clause 5.1.1, qui stipule qu'aucune vérification de fatigue n'est nécessaire pour moins de 20 000 cycles, témoigne de l'intégration de principes de calcul acceptés, tels que ceux du FEM 1001. Cela renforce la pertinence de la norme pour garantir des opérations sûres avec un faible risque de défaillance due à la fatigue des matériaux. En outre, bien que la norme se concentre sur les accessoires de levage non fixes, elle précise également les exclusions, ce qui est crucial pour éviter toute confusion lors de son application. En effet, elle ne couvre pas les accessoires en contact direct avec des denrées alimentaires ou des produits pharmaceutiques, ni les risques liés à des matières dangereuses spécifiques, ce qui démontre une attention particulière à la sécurité dans des secteurs à haut risque. La mise en exergue de la non-pertinence des accessoires destinés à soulever des personnes ainsi que des équipements tels que les sangles ou seaux, renforce la pertinence et le ciblage de la norme, garantissant que les utilisateurs comprennent clairement son domaine d'application. De manière générale, la norme EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 est d'une importance significative pour le secteur du levage, offrant des directives claires sur la sécurité des accessoires de levage non fixes. Sa pertinence dans le cadre de la réglementation de la sécurité au travail en fait un outil précieux pour les professionnels du secteur, contribuant ainsi à la réduction des risques d'accidents et à l'amélioration des pratiques de levage sécuritaires.
