Overview
prEN 13852-1 - "Cranes - Offshore cranes - Part 1: General-purpose offshore cranes" (CEN draft) defines safety, design and performance requirements for general-purpose offshore cranes whose structures are made of steel. It addresses the lifting of goods and persons when cranes are used as intended and under conditions defined by the required risk assessment (see Clause 4). The document applies to cranes manufactured after CEN approval and is intended to update/supersede EN 13852-1:2013.
Key exclusions include transportation/assembly, non-fixed lifting accessories, ambient temperatures below −20 °C or above 45 °C, subsea lifts, multi-crane lifts, floating cranes (EN 13852-2), light offshore cranes (FprEN 13852-3), motion-compensated cranes, and emergency rescue operations (except training).
Key Topics and Requirements
prEN 13852-1 covers a comprehensive set of technical and safety topics relevant to offshore crane design, operation and installation:
- Risk assessment and significant hazards (Clause 4): identification of hazards for lifting persons and goods.
- Strength, stability & fatigue: service classification, load combinations, limit states, proof of competence, failure mode analysis and load charts.
- Control systems: start/stop logic, prevention of unexpected start-up, mode selectors, main motion controls, remote controls, response time and instrumentation.
- Electrical requirements: supply isolation, EMC, ingress protection, earthing and hazardous area considerations.
- Mechanical components: bearings, brakes, wire ropes, drums, slewing/travel/boom drives, bolt assemblies and double means of securing.
- Fluid power systems: hydraulic/pneumatic system integrity, reservoirs, cylinders, accumulators, hoses and sink-rate control.
- Safeguarding & protection systems: Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI), Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL), Motion Detection System (MDS), Automatic Overload Protection System (AOPS), Manual Overload Protection System (MOPS), Emergency Load Lowering (ELL), emergency stop, wind and hoist indicators, dropped object protection and fire prevention.
- Installation interface: pedestal/adaptor design, access, laydown/blind zones, crane restriction charts, lighting, power/UPS and communications.
- Environmental & security considerations: offshore marine environment, hazardous area protection, automation security and environmental footprint.
Applications and Users
This standard is essential for:
- Crane manufacturers and designers producing steel general-purpose offshore cranes
- Offshore operators and asset owners specifying procurement and operational limits
- Classification societies and certifiers assessing compliance and fitness-for-purpose
- Safety and marine engineers performing risk assessments and installation interfaces
- Maintenance teams and training providers implementing safeguarding and emergency procedures
Use cases include design validation, conformity assessment, operational procedures for lifting persons and goods, and integration of cranes into offshore platforms and vessels (non-floating).
