This European Standard specifies the requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes including their supporting pedestals or structures.The standard is applicable to general-purpose offshore cranes covered by the scope of this European Standard which are manufactured after the date of its publication as EN.This European Standard is not applicable to general-purpose offshore cranes which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.This European Standard does not cover use of - or hazards relating to the following:a)fabrication, transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling, scrapping or changing the configuration of the crane;b)lifting accessories, i.e. any item between the hook and the load;c)minimum design temperature below −20 °C;d)operations at an ambient temperature above 45 °C;NOTE:For equipment designed for operation in explosive atmospheres, the normal ambient temperature range is −20 °C to +40 °C, unless otherwise specified and marked. See Annex O and relevant standards indicated for complete information.e)lifting operations involving more than one crane;f)accidental loads due to collisions;g)hand powered cranes and other cranes with a rated capacity less than 2 t or outreach less than 8 m;h)emergency rescue operations; (except training)i)subsea lifting operations.The significant hazards covered by this European standard are identified in Clause 4.This European Standard includes requirements for the lifting of personnel by a general-purpose offshore crane.
