Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 25599 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 96, Cranes, Subcommittee SC 8, Jib Cranes.

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 25599:2005(E)

Cranes — Jib cranes — International Standards for design,
manufacturing, use and maintenance requirements and
recommendations
1 Scope
This Technical Report collects the design, manufacturing, use and maintenance requirements and
recommendations for jib cranes in ISO and IEC International Standards.
2 Requirements
2.1 Particular ISO International Standards for jib cranes
The International Standards marked with an x are also applicable for cranes in use.
ISO 4301-1 Cranes and lifting appliances — Classification — Part 1: General
Abstract: Establishes a general classification of cranes based on the number of
operating cycles to be carried out during the expected life of the crane and a load
spectrum factor which represents a nominal state of loading. Classification considers
only the operating conditions which are independent of the type of crane and the
way it is driven.
ISO 4301-4 Cranes and related equipment — Classification — Part 4: Jib cranes
Abstract: Establishes the classification of cranes based on the number of operating
cycles to be carried out during the expected life of the appliance and its
mechanisms, and a load spectrum factor which represents the nominal state of
loading. Guidance as to typical classifications is given.
ISO 4302 Cranes — Wind load assessment
Abstract: Gives a simplified method of calculation and assumes that the wind blows
horizontally from any direction, that the wind blows at a constant velocity and that
there is a static reaction to the loadings applying to the crane structure. It includes
built-in allowances for the effects of gusting (rapid changes in wind velocity) and for
dynamic response.
ISO 4304 Cranes other than mobile and floating cranes — General requirements for stability
Abstract: Specifies the conditions to be met when verifying, by calculation, the
stability of all crane types defined in ISO 4306-1 that are subject to tilting. It assumes
that they are standing on a firm, level supporting surface or track. The sliding of
cranes on their tracks is not covered.

ISO 4306-1 Cranes — Vocabulary — Part 1: General
Abstract: Defines terms concerning the main types of cranes, parameters, general
concepts and component parts in English, French and Russian.
ISO 4308-1 x Cranes and lifting appliances — Selection of wire ropes — Part 1: General
Abstract: Specifies two methods for the selection of wire rope to be used on lifting
appliances as designated in ISO 4306-1, one based on the value of the rope
selection factor C and the other based on the value of the coefficient of utilization Z .
p
ISO 4308-1 establishes the minimum requirements for acceptable strength and
performance levels of wire ropes with respect to the design, application and
maintenance of the lifting appliance. ISO 4308-1 establishes the minimum
requirements for the diameters of drums and sheaves that are to be associated with
the selected wire rope.
ISO 4309 x Cranes — Wire ropes — Care, maintenance, installation, examination and discard
Abstract: Details the essential guidelines for examination of wire ropes in service on
a lifting appliance, and enumerates discard criteria relating to wire breaks, wear,
corrosion and deformation which are to be applied to ensure the efficient and safe
usage of the equipment.
ISO 4310 Cranes — Test code and procedures
Abstract: Specifies the tests and procedures to be followed in order to verify that a
crane conforms to its operational specifications and is capable of lifting rated loads.
Where rated loads are determined by stability, a test procedure and test load are
specified that permit stability margins to be easily verified. Defines test procedures
such as conformity tests, visual inspection and load lifting competence testing.
ISO 7296-1 plus Cranes — Graphic symbols — Part 1: General
ISO 7296-1:1991/
Amd.1:1996 Cranes — Graphic symbols — Part 1: General — Amendment 1
Abstract: Gives 67 symbols and defines the various colours to be used with cranes.
Contains the alphabetical indexes in English, French and Russian.
ISO 7363 Cranes and lifting appliances — Technical characteristics and acceptance documents
Abstract: Establishes the form of presentation and content of the documents which a
manufacturer should provide with the equipment. Documents give technical
information and include acceptance documents for the equipment to facilitate its
installation, testing and use. Specimen acceptance documents are given in the
annex. Applies to all types defined in ISO 4306-1.
ISO 7595 Socketing procedures for wire ropes — Molten metal socketing
Abstract: Provides guidance on recommended practices for metal socketing. When
socketing ropes have wire tensile grades greater than 1 960 MPa, special
precautions may be necessary and the rope supplier should be consulted. Rope
terminations specified in ISO 7595 may be used for determining the breaking load of
wire ropes in accordance with ISO 3108.
