This document (EN 13557:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 “Cranes -
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
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 September 2024, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by September 2024.
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 supersedes EN 13557:2003+A2:2008.
This document has the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 13557:2003+A2:2008:
— updating of normative references;
— revision of List of significant hazards and move to Annex A;
— revision and update of Table 2 (now Table 1) and Table A.1;
— revision of Annex ZA;
— reorganization of the clauses.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.

Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for crane access to
conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as mentioned in
Annex ZA.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
1 Scope
This document specifies health and safety design requirements for control devices and control stations
and their operating positions for all types of cranes.
Specific requirements for particular types of cranes are given in the appropriate European Standard for
the particular crane type (see Annex B).
This document does not deal with noise hazards because these are dealt with in safety standards for
specific types of cranes. It also does not address the design of the cabin with regard to its sound insulation
properties.
This document covers specific hazards which could occur during the use of control devices and control
stations. It does not cover hazards which could occur during transport, construction, modification, de-
commissioning, or disposal. The hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A.
This document is not applicable to cranes manufactured before the date of its publication.
