本欧洲标准与EN 13001 1和EN 13001 2一起使用，因此设计和理论验证规定了防止起重机钢丝绳机械危害的一般条件，要求和方法。 注意特定类型的起重机的具体要求在特定起重机类型的适用的欧洲标准中给出。 以下是重要的危险情况和危险事件的清单，这些事件可能导致人们在预期使用和合理可预见的滥用中面临风险。本标准第5至第6条对于减少或消除与以下危险相关的风险是必要的: 超过强度极限（产量，极限，疲劳）。 本欧洲标准不适用于作为EN出版之前制造的起重机，并且用作特定起重机类型的欧洲标准的参考基准（见附件C）。 EN 13001 3 2仅适用于符合EN 13001 1的极限状态方法

This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001 1 and EN 13001 2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of wire ropes of cranes by design and theoretical verification. NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of cranes are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type. The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. Clauses 5 to 6 of this standard are necessary to reduce or eliminate risks associated with the following hazard: − exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue). This European Standard is not applicable to cranes which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN and serves as reference base for the European Standards for particular crane types (see Annex C). EN 13001 3 2 deals only with the limit state method in accordance with EN 13001 1.
