scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for the design and selection of low voltage electrotechnical equipment for all types of crane, with the objective of ensuring reliability ofof safety-related function and protecting personnel from hazards affecting their health and safety. The equipment covered by this European Standard commences at the point of connection of the sypply to the electrical equipment of the crane including systems for power supply and control feeders situated outside the crane, e.g. flexible cables, conductor wires or bars, cableless controls. The standard does not cover individual items of electrical equipment except with regard to their selection for specific aspects of use. The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4. This standard doesn't deal with voltages over 1000 V a.c. and 1500 V d.c. This standard is applicable to cranes which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document. Authors of Product-Specific-Standards should copy the relevant clauses of this standard instead of referring to EN 13135, and should refer directly to EN 60204-32 whenever possible.
