Overview

ISO 9374-1:2024 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines the essential information to be provided by both the purchaser and the manufacturer when specifying cranes. This standard focuses on general requirements to ensure that the appropriate crane is selected and supplied based on duty requirements and service conditions. As part 1 of the ISO 9374 series, it lays the foundation for effective crane communication and documentation, promoting safety, efficiency, and compliance in crane operations worldwide.

Key Topics

• Information from Purchaser: Details relating to the type of crane, working process, application, and operational environment must be clearly communicated. This includes classification of the crane and mechanisms, installation details, load characteristics, power supply specifications, operator control preferences, and relevant regulations.
• Information from Manufacturer: Upon delivery, manufacturers are required to provide comprehensive technical information, including test certificates, instruction manuals, installation guidelines, safe operating procedures, maintenance instructions, and repair advice.
• Dimensions and Clearances: Manufacturers should supply general arrangement drawings with precise dimensions, ensuring that all purchaser restrictions and installation criteria are met.
• Standards Referenced: The document refers to key related standards such as ISO 4306-1 (Cranes Vocabulary) and ISO 7363 (Technical characteristics and acceptance documents), integrating terminology and technical requirements for clarity and consistency.

Applications

• Crane Selection: By providing detailed purchaser and manufacturer information, ISO 9374-1 helps engineering teams and procurement specialists select cranes that match operational needs, environmental conditions, and safety parameters.
• Manufacturer Specification: Crane manufacturers can use the standard to develop clear technical documentation and user instructions ensuring compliance and facilitating safe, reliable, and maintainable crane operations.
• Installation and Commissioning: The specified information assists installation teams by detailing crane dimensions and operational requirements, ensuring smooth commissioning and reduced risks.
• Regulatory Compliance: The standard promotes adherence to international safety regulations and performance standards, essential for global trade and operational acceptance of cranes.
• Training and Maintenance: Clear information flow supports operators and maintenance personnel with proper guidelines for safe use, common failure management, inspection, and repairs.

Related Standards

• ISO 4306-1: Cranes - Vocabulary - Part 1: General
  Defines terminology used in crane operations, aligning communication among stakeholders.
• ISO 7363: Cranes and Lifting Appliances - Technical Characteristics and Acceptance Documents
  Specifies information and documents required for crane acceptance and testing.
• ISO 4301 Series: Classification of Cranes
  Provides classification methods crucial for defining crane duty types and service conditions.

By adhering to ISO 9374-1:2024, stakeholders benefit from a unified information framework that enhances crane safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across various crane types except mobile cranes and tower cranes, which are excluded in this series.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
