This document specifies load actions to be used together with the standards EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-3@ and as such they specify conditions and requirements on design to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes@ and provides a method of verification of those requirements. NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type. The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clause 4 of this document is necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards: a) instability of the crane or its parts (tilting); b) exceeding the limits of strength (yield@ ultimate@ fatigue); c) elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling@ bulging); d) exceeding temperature limits of material or components; e) exceeding the deformation limits. This document is not applicable to cranes that are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
