5 Safety requirements and/or measures
5.1 General requirements
The attachment shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the
attachment shall be designed according to the principles of EN 292 for hazards relevant but not significant
which are not dealt with by this standard.
5.1.1 Mechanical load bearing parts
5.1.1.1 The mechanical load bearing parts shall have a mechanical strength to fulfil the following
requirements:
1) the attachment shall be designed to withstand a static load of three times the working load limit
without releasing the load even if permanent deformation occurs;
2) the attachment shall be designed to withstand a static load of two times the working load limit without
permanent deformation.
5.1.1.2 Attachments intended to tilt shall be designed for an angle exceeding minimum 6 the maximum
working angle. Attachments not intended to tilt shall be designed for an angle of minimum 6.
5.1.2 Controls
The controls of the attachment shall be in accordance with the following clauses of prEN 13557:2003 where
applicable:
5.1.1, 5.1.10, 5.2.3.1.1, 5.2.3.1.2, 5.2.3.1.3, 5.2.3.2.1, 5.2.3.2.2, 5.2.3.2.3, 5.2.3.2.4, 5.2.3.2.5, 5.2.3.2.6
5.1.3 Handles
An attachment that is intended to be guided manually shall be equipped with handle(s), arranged so that
finger injuries are avoided. Handles are not required if features have been built in to provide natural
handholds.
5.1.4 Requirements for slings which are integrated
Slings which are an integrated part of the attachment shall be in accordance with the appropriate following
standards:
EN 818-4;
EN 818-5;
prEN 13414-1;
EN 1492-1;
EN 1492-2.

5.1.5 Stability during storage
When not required for use it shall be possible to set down the attachment so that it is stable during storage. To
be regarded as stable it shall not tip over when tilted to an angle of 10° in any direction. This shall be achieved
either by the shape of the attachment or by means of additional equipment such as a stand.
5.2 Specific requirements for each category of attachment
5.2.1 Plate clamps
5.2.1.1 Under the conditions specified by the manufacturer, it shall not be possible to unintentionally
release the load, in particular by the following influences:
a) contact of the plate clamp particularly the locking mechanisms with an obstacle;
b) weight of the crane hook, bottom block o
