Bibliography

This document specifies the safety requirements for floating cranes including their supporting pedestals or structures.This document applies to cranes manufactured after the date of issue of this document.This document does not cover:a)fabrication, assembly, dismantling or changing the configuration of the crane;b)lifting accessories, i.e. any item between the hook and the load;c)design temperature below -20 °C;d)operations at an ambient temperature above 50 °C;e)cranes covered by the Machinery Directive.The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in clause 4.This document includes requirements for lifting of persons. The use of cranes for lifting of persons may be subject to specific national regulations. Where National Authorities permit the use of a floating crane for the lifting of persons, the crane would at least need to fulfil the requirements of this standard and be adopted in accordance with the relevant National regulations for the lifting of persons.
