SIST EN 13557:2004

Cranes - Controls and control stations

This European Standard specifies health and safety design requirements for controls and control stations for all types of crane.
NOTE 1   Control systems are covered by other standards  e.g. EN 60204-32, prEN 13135-1 and prEN 13135-2.
Annex C provides additional value to the requirements for cableless control systems as specified in EN 60204-32.
NOTE 2   Annex C will be deleted after WG 3 agreed to introduce it into their document prEN 13135-1.
NOTE 3   Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type.
This standard does not deal with noise hazards because these are dealt with in safety standards for specific types of cranes. It also does not address the design of the cabin with regard to its sound insulation properties.
This European Standard covers specific hazards which could occur during the use of controls and control stations. It does not cover hazards which could occur during transport, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance, de-commissioning or disposal.
The hazards covered by this standard are identified in clause 4.
This European Standard is applicable after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

Foreword
This document (EN 13557:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 147, "Cranes - Safety", the
secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by May 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
May 2004.
Annexes A and B are informative. Annex C is normative.
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.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means for crane controls
and control stations to conform with the relevant essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery
Directive 98/37/EC.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
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 B standard, the provisions
of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been
designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies health and safety design requirements for controls and control stations for all types
of crane.
NOTE 1 Control systems are covered by other standards e.g. EN 60204-32, EN 13135-1 and prEN 13135-2.
Annex C provides additional value to the requirements for cableless control systems as specified in EN 60204-32.
NOTE 2 Annex C will be deleted after WG 3 agreed to introduce it into their document EN 13135-1.
NOTE 3 Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular
crane type.
This standard does not deal with noise hazards because these are dealt with in safety standards for specific types
of cranes. It also does not address the design of the cabin with regard to its sound insulation properties.
This European Standard covers specific hazards which could occur during the use of controls and control stations. It
does not cover hazards which could occur during transport, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance,
de-commissioning or disposal.
The hazards covered by this standard are identified in clause 4.
This European Standard is applicable after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the definitions given in EN 1070: 1998, EN 60204-32:1998 and the
following apply:
3.1
address code
number which is used by the receiver to differentiate the frames sent by its respective transmitter
NOTE The receiver only carries out the commands received from a transmitter having the same address code.
3.2
cabin
control station with protective enclosure
3.4
cableless control
means by which the crane driver's commands are transmitted without any physical connection for at least a part of
the distance between the console and the crane
3.5
console
fixed or moveable arrangement of controls
3.6
control
actuating device which forms an interface between the crane driver and a crane control system
3.7
control station
permanent position of controls on or off the crane
3.8
error detection code
number added to each frame to enable the receiver to detect transmission errors
NOTE The receiver re-defines the error detection code using similar algorithm as is used in the transmitter. The commands
are only carried out if the error detection code so defined by the receiver is identical to the error detection code it received with
the frame.
3.9
frame
“package” of bits which the transmitter sends to the receiver, for example:
a) address code;
b) operating command signals;
c) other control signals;
d) error detection (and correction) code.
NOTE The frame is formed out of the above mentioned parts by coding them into a serial form. After this coding the frame
is sent to a circuit called a modulator which transforms it into a suitable form for sending.
3.10
hamming distance
number of positions in which two code words of the same length differ from each other
(IEC/TR3 60870-1-3)
3.11
hatch
aperture fitted with a cover and used for access purposes
3.12
operating command
control signal which is intended to initiate, modify or maintain a crane function / movement
3.13
operative temperature (t )
uniform temperature of an imaginary black enclosure in which an occupant would exchange the same amount of
heat by radiation plus convection as in the actual non-uniform environment (see annex A)
3.14
receiver
part of a cable-less control system which receives the commands from the transmitter
3.15
transmitter
part of a cable-less control system which sends the crane driver's commands to the receiver
4 Significant hazards
Table 1 contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this
standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to
eliminate or reduce the risk.
NOTE Numbering of hazards follows annex A of EN 1050 : 1996.
