Overview
EN 13001-3-2:2014 - "Cranes - General design - Part 3-2: Limit states and proof of competence of wire ropes in reeving systems" (CEN) specifies how to prevent mechanical hazards of crane wire ropes by design and theoretical verification. Intended to be used together with EN 13001‑1 (general principles) and EN 13001‑2 (load actions), this Part deals specifically with the limit state method for running and stationary ropes in reeving systems and addresses hazards from exceeding strength limits (yield, ultimate, fatigue). It is a harmonized standard supporting essential requirements of the EU Machinery Directive.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose
- Design and theoretical verification of wire ropes in reeving systems to avoid mechanical failures.
- Not applicable to cranes manufactured before the EN publication date; used as a reference base for specific crane-type standards (Annex C).
- Proof of static strength (Clause 5)
- Definition and calculation of design rope force for vertical and non‑vertical drives, including inertial and gravitational effects.
- Factors such as rope reeving efficiency, non‑parallel falls, and horizontal forces on the hoist load.
- Proof of fatigue strength (Clause 6)
- Methods to derive limit design rope force for fatigue, including rope force history, spectrum factors, and number of relevant bendings.
- Influence of drum and sheave diameters, tensile strength of wires, fleet angle, lubrication, groove geometry, rope type and multilayer drums.
- Stationary ropes (Clause 7)
- Separate verification rules for static and fatigue strength where ropes are not running.
- Rope components and documentation
- Guidance on rope terminations, discard criteria and required documentation for design life assessment and inspections.
- Symbols and parameters
- Standardized terms like FRd,s, FRd,f, Fequ, fs factors and lr (number of ropes used during design life).
Applications - who uses it and why
- Crane designers and structural engineers - for safe reeving system design and verification using the limit state approach.
- Manufacturers and component suppliers - to specify ropes, drums, sheaves, terminations and acceptance criteria.
- Inspection and maintenance professionals - to derive discard criteria and fatigue life estimates consistent with design assumptions.
- Safety managers and procurers - to select compliant crane systems and demonstrate conformity with the Machinery Directive.
Practical benefits include improved safety by controlling static and fatigue failure modes, clearer interfaces between purchaser, designer and manufacturer, and traceable design parameters for inspection and lifetime planning.

The standard EN 13001-3-2:2014 provides comprehensive guidelines centered around the limit states and proof of competence of wire ropes in reeving systems for cranes. Its scope establishes a foundational framework to ensure that wire ropes are designed and verified theoretically to minimize mechanical hazards. This is crucial for preventing accidents that can arise from exceeding strength limits, including yield, ultimate, and fatigue failures. One of the notable strengths of this standard is its integration with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2, allowing for a cohesive approach to crane safety and reliability. This interconnected framework ensures that any design and verification of wire ropes are in congruence with broader crane safety protocols, ensuring holistic safety management. Clauses 5 and 6 specifically address key hazardous situations, offering essential conditions to mitigate risks effectively. Moreover, EN 13001-3-2:2014 maintains relevance in its distinction, specifying that it applies solely to cranes manufactured post-publication, which allows for ongoing evolution in compliance with contemporary safety standards. This clearly delineated applicability secures its place as a reference base for other European standards associated with specific crane types, thereby reinforcing the importance of both tailored and general hazard mitigation strategies. In conclusion, the EN 13001-3-2:2014 standard is a vital document for enhancing the safety of crane operations by ensuring that specifications for wire ropes are robust, relevant, and systematically verified against potential mechanical failures. Its methodical approach and clear delineation of responsibilities and requirements make it indispensable for manufacturers and operators focused on maintaining high safety standards in the use of cranes.
표준 EN 13001-3-2:2014는 기계적 위험을 예방하기 위한 원칙과 요구사항을 구체적으로 정의하고 있으며, 특히 리프팅 시스템에서 와이어 로프의 한계 상태와 성능 검증을 다루고 있습니다. 이 표준은 EN 13001-1 및 EN 13001-2와 결합하여 사용되며, 크레인의 설계 및 이론적 검증을 통해 와이어 로프의 안전성을 보장하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 상세히 살펴보면, 이 표준은 강도(항복, 궁극, 피로)를 초과하는 한계 상태와 관련된 위험을 최소화하기 위해 5조와 6조를 통해 필수적인 조건을 제공하고 있습니다. 따라서 이 문서는 와이어 로프의 안전성을 확보하는 데 있어 중요한 역할을 합니다. 다른 특정 유형의 크레인에 대한 요구사항은 해당 크레인 유형을 위한 적절한 유럽 표준에서 제시되고 있습니다. EN 13001-3-2에서 다루는 한계 상태 방법은 사용자에게 명확한 기준을 제공하며, 이는 크레인의 설계를 수행하는 엔지니어와 제조업체에게 실질적인 지침이 됩니다. 이 표준은 사전 출간된 크레인에는 적용되지 않으며, 오히려 해당 크레인 유형의 유럽 표준을 위한 참조 기반으로 기능합니다. 결론적으로 EN 13001-3-2:2014는 크레인의 설계 및 운영에서 안전성을 확보하는 데 필수적인 요소로, 와이어 로프의 안전한 사용을 위한 철저한 기준과 절차를 제공하고 있어 매우 관련성이 높습니다. 이러한 표준은 특히 예상치 못한 오용으로 인한 위험을 줄이고, 변동성 있는 작업 환경에서도 일관된 안전성을 유지하는 데 기여합니다.
SIST EN 13001-3-2:2014は、クレーンの一般設計に関する欧州標準の一部であり、特にレーヴィングシステムにおけるワイヤーロープの限界状態と能力の証明を扱っています。この標準は、EN 13001-1およびEN 13001-2と組み合わせて使用され、ワイヤーロープに関する機械的危険を防止するための一般的な条件、要求事項および理論的検証の方法を規定しています。 この標準の強みは、ワイヤーロープの強度に関連するリスクを軽減または排除するために必要な条項が含まれており、特に限界の強度(降伏、最終、疲労)を超える危険な状況に対処している点にあります。具体的には、条項5および6において、想定される使用や合理的に予見可能な誤用に伴う人へのリスクを評価し、適切な対策を講じることが求められています。 さらに、この標準は特定のクレーンタイプに対する具体的な要求事項を、該当する欧州標準に委ねることにより、より適用性が高く、柔軟性をもたらしています。その結果、様々なクレーンにおけるワイヤーロープの安全性と性能を確保するための基盤を提供します。 また、EN 13001-3-2:2014は、クレーンが製造された日以降の適用となるため、新しい設計基準に基づく製品開発を促進し、安全な使用を確保する手助けをします。このように、ワイヤーロープの限界状態手法に特化していることで、他の標準との整合性を持たせつつ、効率的かつ安全な設計を支援しています。
