Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to provide a means for the mechanical design and
theoretical verification of cranes to conform to essential health and safety requirements. This European
Standard also establishes interfaces between the user (purchaser) and the designer, as well as between
the designer and the component manufacturer, in order to form a basis for selecting cranes and
components.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines.
1 Scope
This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and, as such, they
specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent by design and theoretical verification,
mechanical hazards in crane hooks.
!It is intended to be used together with the other generic parts of EN 13001 series of standards, see
Annex L."
This European Standard covers the following parts of hooks and types of hooks:
— !bodies of any type of hooks made of steel forgings or steel castings, including stainless steel;"
— machined shanks of hooks with a thread/nut suspension.
Principles of this European Standard can be applied to machined shanks of hooks in general. However,
stress concentration factors relevant to designs not given in this standard would have to be determined
and applied.
!The hazards covered by this document are identified by Annex M."
NOTE 1 !Plate hooks, which are those, assembled of one or several parallel parts of rolled steel plates, are
not covered in this document."
The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks
to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clauses 4 to 8 of this document are necessary to
reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards:
a) !exceeding the limits of yield strength, ultimate strength, fatigue strength, brittle fracture;"
b) exceeding temperature limits of material.
!The requirements of this document are stated in the main body of the document and are applicable
to hook designs in general."
The commonly used hook body and shank designs listed in Annexes A, B and F are only examples and
should not be referred to as requirements of this European Standard. Annex I gives guidance for the
selection of a hook size, where a hook body is in accordance with Annex A or B. The selection of hook
form is not limited to those shown in Annexes A and B.
This European Standard is applicable to cranes, which are 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.
NOTE 2 This part of EN 13001 deals only with the limit state method in accordance with EN 13001–1.

4 General requirements
4.1 Materials
4.1.1 General
!The hook material shall fulfill the requirements of this clause independent of the material standard
applied (see 4.1.2) and independent whether classification of the material is applied or not (see 4.1.3).
The hook material in the finished product shall have sufficient ductility to permanently deform before
losing the ability to carry the load, at the temperatures specified for the use of the hook. Particularly the
hook material shall fulfill the following conditions:
— the ratio of ultimate strength (f ) to yield stress (f ) f /f ≥ 1,1. For the materials, which do not
u y u y
fulfill this condition, the design value of f shall be limited to f /1,1;
y u
— the percentage elongation at fracture A ≥ 10 % on a gauge length LS5,65× (where S is the
0 0
original cross-sectional area).
The hook material, after heat treatment, shall have minimum Charpy-V impact energy in accordance
with Table 2.

Sum of S + P 0,035 [%] 0,045 [%]
Where quenched and tempered steel is used, the hardenability of the steel shall fulfil the requirement of
the Jominy-ratio given in Table 4. The Jominy-ratio J30/J1,5 is the ratio between J30 and J1,5, where J30
and J1,5 mean the hardness at depths 30 mm and 1,5 mm correspondingly, determined by Jominy face-
quenching test in accordance with EN ISO 642:2016. The tests shall be carried out per melt and the
values be given in the technical hook information, see Annex J. For more information on hardening
properties and hardness profiles, see EN ISO 683-2:2018.
Where the mechanical properties of cast hooks are tested for each single hook, the hardenability may be
verified by HB-testing in accordance with EN ISO 6506-1:2014 in the section of the test specimen at
1,5 mm and 30 mm depth from the surface. The hardness ratio shall fulfil the minimum requirement
(Jominy-ratio) given in Table 4.
