EN 14985:2007 (E)
Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means for slewing jib
cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as mentioned
in Annex ZA.
Absolute safety of cranes cannot be ensured by design alone, as their operation depends on the skill of
operators, maintenance personnel and inspectors as well as on the numerous technical parameters relating to
the crane and its operating environment, which may have large scatter.
As many of the hazards related to slewing jib cranes relate to their operating environment and use, it is
assumed in the preparation of this European Standard that all the relevant information relating to the use and
operating environment of the crane has been exchanged between the manufacturer and user (as
recommended in
ISO 9374, Parts 1 and 4), covering such issues as, for example:
• clearances;
• requirements concerning protection against hazardous environments;
• processed materials, such as potentially flammable or explosive material (e.g. coal, powder type
materials).
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, 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.
