LÄSANVISNINGAR FÖR STANDARDER

I dessa anvisningar behandlas huvudprinciperna för hur regler och yttre begränsningar anges i
standardiseringsprodukter.

Krav
Ett krav är ett uttryck i ett dokuments innehåll som anger objektivt verifierbara kriterier som ska uppfyllas och från vilka ing-
en avvikelse tillåts om efterlevnad av dokumentet ska kunna åberopas. Krav uttrycks med hjälpverbet ska (eller ska inte
för förbud).

Rekommendation
En rekommendation är ett uttryck i ett dokuments innehåll som anger en valmöjlighet eller ett tillvägagångssätt som be-
döms vara särskilt lämpligt utan att nödvändigtvis nämna eller utesluta andra. Rekommendationer uttrycks med hjälpver-
bet bör (eller bör inte för avrådanden).

Instruktion
Instruktioner anges i imperativ form och används för att ange hur något görs eller utförs. De kan underordnas en annan re-
gel, såsom ett krav eller en rekommendation. De kan även användas självständigt, och är då att betrakta som krav.

Förklaring
En förklaring är ett uttryck i ett dokuments innehåll som förmedlar information. En förklaring kan uttrycka tillåtelse, möjlig-
het eller förmåga. Tillåtelse uttrycks med hjälpverbet får (eller motsatsen behöver inte). Möjlighet och förmåga uttrycks
med hjälpverbet kan (eller motsatsen kan inte).

READING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STANDARDS

These instructions cover the main principles for the use of provisions and external constraints in standardization delivera-
bles.

Requirement
A requirement is an expression, in the content of a document, that conveys objectively verifiable criteria to be fulfilled, and
from which no deviation is permitted if conformance with the document is to be claimed. Requirements are expressed by
the auxiliary shall (or shall not for prohibition).

Recommendation
A recommendation is an expression, in the content of a document, that conveys a suggested possible choice or course of
action deemed to be particularly suitable, without necessarily mentioning or excluding others. Recommendations are ex-
pressed by the auxiliary should (or should not for dissuasion).

Instruction
An instruction is expressed in the imperative mood and is used in order to convey an action to be performed. It can be sub-
ordinated to another provision, such as a requirement or a recommendation. It can also be used independently and is then
to be regarded as a requirement.

Statement
A statement is an expression, in the content of a document, that conveys information. A statement can express permis-
sion, possibility or capability. Permission is expressed by the auxiliary may (its opposite being need not). Possibility and
capability are expressed by the auxiliary can (its opposite being cannot).

Nationellt förord

Detta dokument och SIS-CEN/TR 15728 behandlar båda ingjutningsgods för lyftanvändning, så kallad
lyftförankring. I SIS-CEN/TR 15728 finns ett nationellt förord som beskriver deras enskilda användning
och koppling till varandra.

This document and SIS-CEN/TR 15728 both address concrete embedments for use in lifting, known as
lifting inserts. In SIS-CEN/TR 15728 there is a national foreword, that describes their individual use and
the links between them.

European foreword

This document (EN 13155:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 “Cranes -
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2021, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2021.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document will supersede EN 13155:2003+A2:2009.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.

The main modifications between EN 13155:2003+A2:2009 and EN 13155:2020 concern:

— general requirement to introduce the reference to EN 13001-1 and −2 for the calculation;

— vacuum lifters;

— lifting magnet;

— the addition to the scope of lifting insert systems for lifting prefabricated concrete products;

— reduction of load changes from 20 000 to 16 000 in all clauses.

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United

Introduction

This document has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for non-fixed load
lifting attachments used on cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the
Machinery Directive, as amended.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for non-fixed load lifting attachments which have been designed and built according to the
provisions of this type C standard.

1 Scope
This document specifies safety requirements for the following non-fixed load lifting attachments for
cranes, hoists and manually controlled load manipulating devices:
a) plate clamps;

b) vacuum lifters:

1) self-priming;

2) non-self-priming (pump, venturi, turbine);

c) lifting magnets:

1) electric lifting magnets (battery fed and mains-fed);

2) permanent lifting magnets;

3) electro-permanent lifting magnets;

d) lifting beams;

e) C-hooks;

f) lifting forks;

g) clamps;

h) lifting insert systems for use in normal weight concrete,

as defined in Clause 3.
This document does not give requirements for:
— non-fixed load lifting attachments in direct contact with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals requiring a
high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons;

— hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials (e.g. explosives, hot molten masses,
radiating materials);

— hazards caused by operation in an explosive atmosphere;

— hazards caused by noise;

— hazards relating to the lifting of persons;

— electrical hazards;

— hazards due to hydraulic and pneumatic components.

For high risk applications not covered by this standard, EN 13001-2:2014, 4.3.2 gives guidance to deal
with them.
This document covers the proof of static strength, the elastic stability and the proof of fatigue strength.

This document does not generally applies to attachments intended to lift above people. Some attachments
are suitable for that purpose if equipped with additional safety features. In such cases the additional
safety features are specified in the specific requirements.
This document does not cover slings, ladles, expanding mandrels, buckets, grabs, or grab buckets. This
document does not cover power operated container handling spreaders, which are in the scope of
EN 15056.
This document is not applicable to non-fixed load attachments manufactured before the date of its
publication.
