本欧洲标准规定了与EN 13001 2和EN 13001 3系列标准一起使用的一般原则和要求，因此，它们规定了设计的条件和要求，以防止起重机械的机械危害，以及验证这些要求的方法。 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。 以下是在正常使用和可预见的滥用中可能导致人身危险的重大危险情况和危险事件的清单。本欧洲标准第4条有必要减少或消除与以下危害有关的风险: a）起重机或其零件的不稳定性（倾斜）; b）超过强度限制（产量，最终，疲劳）; c）起重机或其零件的弹性不稳定性（弯曲，膨胀）; d）超过材料或部件的温度限制; e）超过变形极限。 本欧洲标准适用于在本标准的CEN批准之日之后制造的起重机，并且作为特定起重机类型的欧洲标准的参考基准

This European Standard specifies general principles and requirements to be used together with EN 13001 2 and the EN 13001 3 series of standards, and as such they specify conditions and requirements on design to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes, and a method of verification of those requirements. NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of crane 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 normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clause 4 of this European Standard is necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards: a) instability of the crane or its parts (tilting); b) exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue); c) elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling, bulging); d) exceeding temperature limits of material or components; e) exceeding the deformation limits. This European Standard is applicable to cranes which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard and serves as reference base for the European Standards for particular crane types.
