Overview
SIST EN 13852-1:2025 - Cranes: Offshore cranes - Part 1: General-purpose offshore cranes is the updated European standard (approved by CEN 24 Feb 2025) that defines safety, design and operational requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes, including their supporting pedestals and steel structures. The standard applies to cranes manufactured after CEN approval and covers hazards relevant to lifting goods and persons when used as intended and under conditions identified by the required risk assessment.
Key exclusions are clearly stated: transportation/assembly/installation, items attached to the hook (loads, baskets, containers), ambient temperatures below −20 °C or above 45 °C, subsea or multiple-crane lifts, floating cranes (EN 13852-2), light offshore cranes (EN 13852-3), motion-compensated 2D/3D cranes, and emergency-evacuation cranes.
Key topics and technical requirements
SIST EN 13852-1:2025 organizes technical requirements around practical safety and fitness-for-purpose topics. Major areas include:
- Design, strength, stability and fatigue: service classification, load cases, limit states and failure mode analysis; wire rope/drum and material selection.
- Control systems and automation: start/stop functions, prevention of unexpected start-up, lifting mode selectors, minimum hook velocities, response times and remote consoles.
- Electrical and power systems: supply isolation, slipring units, ingress protection, EMC, VFDs, batteries and protective earthing.
- Mechanical components: hoist/luffing/slewing/travel drives, bearings, gears, brakes, drums, wire rope terminations and wear protection.
- Fluid power systems: hydraulic reservoirs, cylinders, load-holding devices, hoses and accumulators.
- Safeguarding and protection systems: rated capacity indicators/limiters (RCI/RCL), slack rope limiters, motion detection systems (MDS), automatic/manual overload protection (AOPS/MOPS), emergency stop and emergency operation systems (EOS), wind/hook indicators and fire protection.
- Installation interface: pedestal adaptors, power/communication interfaces and external lighting.
- Risk management & exchange of information: list of significant hazards, required documentation and safety functions; emphasis on use within foreseen conditions from the risk assessment.
