Foreword
This document (EN 13000:2010/FprA1:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147
“Crane - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
CEN/TC147 WG11 has reviewed EN 13000:2010 to adapt the standard to the technical progress, new
requirements and changes in standards referenced; the main topics are:
 The scope of this standard has been amended to cover gaps and overlaps with other European
Standards.
 Several wind related incidents forced the introduction of more clarification on wind loads and the
development of explanations to be added in the instruction manual (4.1.2.2.2 and 6.2.2.4).
 The limit value for the noise measured at the operator position has been aligned with the actual legal
requirements and the former noise clause has been reorganized to improve readability (5.3, 6.1.2 and
Annex G).
 To cover the risk of a wrong setting of the outrigger configuration and to align the standard with other
European Standards and recently introduced regulations outside of the EEA, requirements for outrigger
monitoring are introduced (4.2.6.3.5).
This standard applies to mobile cranes which are put on the market 12 months after the date of ratification by
CEN.

2 Modification to the Introduction
Add the following text at the end of the Introduction:
"CEN/TC147 WG11 had set up a dedicated working group with representatives from crane manufacturers,
electronic component suppliers and Health and Safety organizations. This group did a thorough investigation
in the transition from EN 954 to EN ISO 13849 and came to the conclusion that this transition is not currently
feasible for mobile cranes.
The required Performance Level was determined by risk assessment according to EN 1050; it was
established as PLr=c; this value is not achievable with components currently available on the market and is as
such beyond the state of the art for mobile cranes. This is mainly due to the amount of signals to be
processed simultaneously.
Therefore, in the present amendment A1, the requirements given for safety related parts of control systems
will refer to EN 954.".

3 Modifications to the Scope
nd st
Delete in the 2 sentence, 1 paragraph the following:
"with the exception of loader cranes (see 3.1.1 of EN 12999:2002). Examples of mobile crane types and of
their major parts are given in Annexes A and B."
st
After the 1 sentence, add the following:
"This European Standard does not apply to:
• loader cranes (see EN 12999)
• off-shore cranes (see EN 13852-1)
• floating cranes (see EN 13852-2)
• variable reach truck (see EN 1459)
NOTE Variable Reach Trucks are commonly known as telehandlers.
• mobile self-erecting tower cranes
• earth-moving machinery used for object handling (see EN 474-series)."

19 Addition of a new sub-clause 4.2.6.3.5, Rated capacity indicator
Add the following new sub-clause after former 4.2.6.3.4; Rated capacity indicator:
"
4.2.6.2.5 Outrigger and crawler position indicator
The rated capacity limiter/indicator shall monitor the horizontal position of the outriggers or
retractable/extendable crawlers used during lifting of loads, as an operational aid. In the event that the
horizontal position does not correspond with the selected crane configuration, a visual and audible warning
will be given to the operator. This event shall be recorded by the event recorder as soon as:
 the operation mode is chosen and/or the configuration is acknowledged
 or crane movements affecting stability and/or structural integrity, are initiated.
The recorder shall record physical setting and selected configuration.
The audible warning may be cancelled by the operator. Any change of the selected crane configuration or the
horizontal outrigger/crawler position shall reinstate the audible warning.
The visual warning shall remain whilst the actual horizontal outrigger/crawler position does not correspond
with the selected crane configuration.
The event recorder shall meet the requirements of 4.2.6.2.3.
NOTE 1 This requirement on warning represents a new state of the art that is introduced at the date of publication of
this standard. Development is needed to further integrate outrigger monitoring into the Rated Capacity Limiter of the
crane; mobile crane manufacturers are embarked on a program for this development.

NOTE 2 This requirement applies for all outriggers/crawlers used during lifting of loads; it does not apply for
outriggers/crawlers used as assembly or erection aid.”.

Renumber the following sub-clauses consequently:

The manufacturer’s instruction shall provide information about influence of wind on loads. The information
given in the manual shall contain at least the following facts:
 Wind speed, shape and size of the load have a major impact on the stability and the loading of mobile
cranes (doubling of wind speed results in four times higher wind load, wind speed increases with height,
shape of load influences the wind resistance The instructions shall include Table “Typical shapes and
corresponding Cw values” as shown in Annex N.5).
 Procedures and safety information regarding wind conditions given in load charts and operating manuals
have to be strictly observed and followed to prevent accidents. Planning as well as operation may only be
done by skilled and qualified personnel.
 Each lift shall be planned taking into account environmental conditions (e.g. meteorological data including
weather forecasts, relevant environmental conditions).
 The determination of the wind speed shall be based on the expected wind gust (3-second wind gust) at
the highest point of the boom system. The instructions shall include Table “Wind speed as a function of
elevation” in Annex N.1).
 During this planning, the lifted load, its geometric form and its air drag coefficient have to be taken into
account as well.

 A simplified calculation method as provided in Annex N.4 covers all individual cases and is therefore
conservative. Exact calculations may allow higher wind speeds; the manufacturer may be contacted for
exact calculation.
 For the standard calculation of duty charts, an area exposed to wind of 1,2 m² per ton of load (1,2m²/t =
1m²/t of load multiplied by a drag coefficient of 1,2) is taken into account. If the result of the multiplication
of the projected area (sail area) of the actual load and its drag coefficient, in the direction of the acting
wind, exceeds this assumption, the permitted wind speed shall be reduced accordingly (see below).
Lifting of the load shall not be performed until this evaluation is made. In absence of a given value for the
drag coefficient of the actual load, the c value of 2,4 shall be applied.

The manufacturer’s instruction shall provide information about influence of wind during rigging/de-rigging and
parking of crane. The information given in the manual shall contain at least the following:
 Wind speed, crane configuration and positioning of boom/jib have a major impact on the stability of
