Cranes - Equipment for the lifting of persons - Part 2: Elevating control stations
This European Standard specifies additional requirements for the design of elevating control stations on cranes. General requirements for control stations on cranes are specified in EN 13557. This European Standard also specifies requirements for the driving mechanism, the supporting and suspension system and for safety devices for the elevating control station. This European Standard does not cover hazards which could occur during transport, erection, commissioning, modification, maintenance, de-commissioning or disposal. This European Standard does not apply to control stations which will move with a load or a load lifting attachment. This European Standard does not apply to lifts for crane drivers. This European Standard does not deal with noise hazards because noise due to the movement of the elevating control station is negligible compared to the noise due to the normal operation of the crane. NOTE Noise hazards are dealt within the appropriate European Standard for specific crane types. The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in Clause 4. This European Standard is not applicable to elevating control stations which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN.

The valve shall be set for a pressure not more than 10 % above the maximum working pressure. 5.6.6.7 Load bearing hydraulic cylinders shall be fitted with a device to prevent unintended movement caused by failure of an external pipe/hose (excluding those indicated in c)) until it is released by an external force. If lock valves are used for that purpose they shall close automatically to prevent fluid leaving the cylinders until they are opened by an external force. They shall be either: a) integral with the cylinder, or b) directly and rigidly flange-mounted, or c) placed close to the cylinder and connected to it by means of rigid pipes (as short as possible), having welded or flanged connections and being calculated in the same way as the cylinder. 5.6.6.8 Where two cylinders operate in parallel, a valve system shall be provided to ensure that in the event of loss of pressure to one cylinder the other cylinder shall be protected against overload. 5.6.6.9 The oil reservoir shall have devices to monitor the minimum and maximum fluid level. The oil reservoir shall have an access opening and drain valve for cleaning. 5.6.6.10 If the oil reservoir is of the pressurized type then it shall withstand the maximum working pressure with a minimum safety coefficient of 2,0 and be fitted with a device to relieve pressure above the maximum working pressure.
EN 14502-2:2005+A1:2008 (E) 16 5.6.6.11 The hydraulic system shall have adequate filters to prevent contamination of the medium. 5.6.6.12 Inspection of hoses, fittings and components shall be feasible. It shall be possible to inspect directly or indirectly the end fittings and the first 3xd length of hose entering such fittings. If this is not practicable (e.g. necessity to remove guards) special arrangements shall be provided e.g. fit check valves, periodic inspection with short interval. 5.7
Guides 5.7.1 The movement of the elevating control station shall be guided. Particular care shall be taken at the entering, leaving and working position to avoid movement of the elevating control s
