1 Modifications to “European foreword”
Replace the text of the whole clause with the following:
“
This document (EN 12999:2020+A1:202X) 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 XXXX, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by XXXX.
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 12999:2020.
The major changes compared to EN 12999:2020 are the following:
― addressing the risk to be crushed by stabilizer legs with powered tilting devices (5.8.1, 5.6.1.3, C.2.5);
― clarification of cabin type (crane or vehicle) throughout the document;
― clarifying that timber handling cranes may only be operated from a high seat or a cabin (5.8.1);
― changing into a recommendation the requirement to make an additional stability test after having
completed a stability test with the test pressure method (6.2.5.3);
― adding requirement of sufficient field of view when operating the crane from the vehicle cabin (5.8.1).
This document has been prepared under a standardization request 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.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
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, Türkiye and the United
