Scope

This document specifies limit states, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards in steel structures of cranes by design and theoretical proof of competence.
The significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during intended use are identified in an informative Annex L (informative). Clauses 4 to 8 of this document provide requirements and methods to reduce or eliminate these risks:
a) exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue);
b) exceeding temperature limits of material or components;
