Overview

This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and which apply to machines that are either first placed on the market or commissioned within the EEA. This standard serves to facilitate proof of compliance with the essential requirements of that directive. Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a "harmonized" standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive ("presumption of conformity"). This European Standard is to be applied in conjunction with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of wheel/rail contacts of cranes by design and theoretical verification. This European Standard covers requirements for steel and cast iron wheels and is applicable to metallic wheel/rail contacts only. The term "wheel" also covers the wheels of the crane as, for example, crane travel wheels, trolley traverse wheels, guide rollers and wheels/rollers supporting slewing structures. Roller bearings are not in the scope of this European Standard. Exceeding the limits of strength is a significant hazardous situation and hazardous event that could result in risks to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clause 5 and Clause 6 of this European Standard are necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with this hazard. This European Standard is applicable to cranes, which are manufactured after the date of approval of this European Standard by CEN, and serves as a reference base for product standards of particular crane types. This European Standard is for design purposes only and should not be seen as a guarantee of actual performance. EN 13001-3-3 deals only with limit state method in accordance with EN 13001-1. This standard contains the German version of EN 13001-3-3:2014 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 "Cranes - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This is the initial publication of the standard by CEN. The following changes have been made with respect to DIN 15070:1977-12: a) the standard has been completely revised on the basis of the limit state method according to EN 13001-1; b) Annex ZB (informative) "Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC" has been included. During the preparation, the national interests were represented by committee NA 060-22-10 AA "Lenkungsausschuss Krane und Hebezeuge" ("Steering Committee Cranes and lifting equipment") and NA 060-22-10-21 AK "Konstruktion - allgemein" ("Design - General") of Section Cranes and lifting equipment of the Standards Committee Mechanical Engineering (NAM) of DIN. Manufacturers' representatives and users of cranes, as well as representatives of professional and trade associations were involved in the preparation of the standard.
