Start of application
The start of application of this standard is 1 May 2011.
National foreword
This standard includes safety requirements.
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 Cranes Safety, (Secretariat: BSI,
United Kingdom).
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Maschinenbau
(Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee), Steering Group CEN/TC 147 ISO/TC 96 Krane.
It should be noted that the term crane as in this standard includes all machines for cyclic lifting, or cyclic
lifting and handling, of loads suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. This means that this
standard applies to all other equipment, such as winches, which meets this definition.
This standard contains specifications meeting the essential requirements set out in Annex I of the Machinery
Directive, Directive 2006/42/EC, and which apply to machines that are either first placed on the market or
commissioned within the EEA. This standard serves to facilitate proof of compliance with the essential
requirements of the directive.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, it is deemed a harmonized
standard and thus, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of
the Machinery Directive (presumption of conformity).
The European Standards referred to in Clause 2 and in the Bibliography of this document have been
published as the corresponding DIN EN or DIN EN ISO Standards with the same number. The International
Standards and publications referred to in this document have been published as the corresponding DIN ISO

Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means for bridge
and gantry cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as
mentioned in Annex ZA.
As many of the hazards related to bridge and gantry cranes relate to their operating environment and use, it is
assumed in the preparation of this European Standard that all the relevant information relating to the use and
operating environment of the crane has been exchanged between the manufacturer and user (as
recommended in ISO 9374, Parts 1 and 5), covering such issues as, for example:
clearances;
processed materials, such as potentially flammable or explosive material (e.g. coal, powder type
materials).
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

Scope
This European Standard applies to bridge and gantry cranes mounted in a fixed position or free to travel by
wheels on rails, runways or roadway surfaces. This European Standard is not applicable to non-fixed load
lifting attachments, erection and dismantling operations, runways and supporting structures nor does it cover
additional loads due to the mounting of cranes on a floating or tilting base.
This European Standard specifies requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events
relevant to bridge and gantry cranes when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This European Standard does not include requirements for the lifting of persons.
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionising radiation and operation in
electromagnetic fields beyond the range of EN 61000-6-2 are not covered by this European Standard.
This European Standard is applicable to bridge and gantry cranes manufactured after the date of its
publication as an EN.

combinations in accordance with EN 13001-2.
For cranes belonging to the mass distribution class MDC1, = 0,1 and 1 = 1,10.
For cranes belonging to the mass distribution class MDC2, which have both favourable and unfavourable

5.2.1.3.2
5.2.1.3.2.1
Determination of factor 2
General principles
The hoist load shall be multiplied by factor 2 that represents the additional dynamic force applied on the
crane, when the weight of a grounded load is transferred on the hoisting medium (ropes or chains).
When assuming the most extreme conditions, the hoisting medium is slack whilst the hoist mechanism
reaches its maximum hoisting speed. In this condition the dynamic additional force is directly proportional to
the hoisting speed, with a coefficient that depends upon the stiffness properties and mass distribution of the
crane ( 2 in EN 13001-2). A calculation model for the determination of the dynamic rope force history at the
hoisting event, and resulting theoretical factor 2t, is presented in Annex C.
In physical crane operation there are other factors that influence the actual dynamic effect, such as control
systems, dampening and flexibility of other than main components (e.g. hoist slings, other lifting devices, load
itself, crane foundation). These dependencies and determination of factor 2 are represented by hoisting
classes in EN 13001-2.
When hoisting class is used it shall be selected according to 5.2.1.3.2.3.
The hoisting speed used for the determination of the dynamic coefficient shall reflect the actual use and
possible exceptional events of the crane in a realistic way. Two events shall be considered as follows:
crane in normal use where hoisting commences at a mechanism controlled speed from a slack rope
condition cases A and B as per EN 13001-2;

EN 15011:2011 (E)
exceptional case where hoisting commences at mechanism maximum speed from slack rope condition
case C as per EN 13001-2.
The theoretical dynamic factor 2t is used for the determination of the hoisting class as defined in EN 13001-2.
It shall be estimated in one of the following ways:
make a complete dynamic simulation taking into account the elastic, inertial and dampening
properties. The maximum force in the hoisting medium during time of the first 3 s represents the hoist
load multiplied by factor 2t;
where applicable, the rope force history h(t) may be calculated in accordance with Annex C.
2t = max{h(t); t < 3 s}. (A similar simulation can be used for a crane with a chain hoist.);
use one of the simplified Equation (1).

sprockets, when hoisting a grounded load. Where a loaded part, or all of the hoist media deviates from the
vertical, the length of the rope/chain fall shall be adjusted to give the equivalent flexibility in vertical direction.
NOTE
This simplified equation takes into account the rigidity and the masses of the crane parts and load and gives
values which are approximately same as calculated according to Annex C.

5.2.1.3.2.5
The dynamic factor 2 can also be determined by measurement from an equivalent crane. The values
measured with different hoisting speeds shall be directly used in calculations, without reference to a hoisting
class.
NOTE
The dynamic increment of deflections found by measurement or dynamic simulation may include the dynamic
effects from the mass of the crane including the trolley, see 5.2.1.3.1. The portion represented by the factor = 0,1 could
be removed from the evaluation of the final 2 to avoid it being considered twice in 1 and also in 2.
5.2.1.3.3
The dynamic actions on the crane by travelling, with or without hoist load, on roadway or on rail tracks shall be
considered by the specific factor 4.
For continuous rail tracks or welded rail tracks with finished ground joints without notches (steps or gaps) the
specific factor 4 = 1.
For roadways or rail tracks with notches (steps or gaps) the specific factor 4 shall be calculated according to
EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, 4.2.2.3. For rubber tyred cranes the flexibility of the tyre shall be taken into
account.

EN 15011:2011 (E)
The change in load effects, S, is caused by the change of drive force, F, given by the equation:
NOTE 1
F = F(f) - F(i)
where
F(f) is the final drive force; and
F(i) is the initial drive force.
Loads induced in a crane by acceleration or deceleration caused by drive forces may be calculated using rigid
body kinetic models. The load effect S shall be applied to the components exposed to the drive forces and
where applicable to the crane and the hoist load as well. As a rigid body analysis does not directly reflect
elastic effects, the load effect S shall be calculated by using an amplification factor 5 defined in
EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, 4.2.2.4 as follows:
S = S(i) + p 5 a m
(3)
where
S(i) is the initial load effect caused by F(i);
5
The factor 5 shall be taken from Tables 3 and 4 unless more accurate factors are available from elastic model
calculations or measurements. The factor p shall be taken from Table 5.
Where the force S is limited by friction or by the nature of the drive mechanism, this frictional force shall be
used instead of calculated force S.

Skewing forces for top running cranes and trolleys shall be calculated in accordance with 5.2.1.4.2 to 5.2.1.4.4
and Annex D, which provide simplified methods for calculating the forces generated when considering both
RIGID and FLEXIBLE crane structures. Skewing forces for underhung cranes shall be calculated in
accordance with 5.2.1.4.5.
In general the skewing forces shall be addressed to load combination B. In cases where anti-skew devices are
provided the forces calculated without the effect of anti-skew devices shall be addressed to load combination
C. If the crane can be used without anti-skew devices functioning, the forces shall be addressed to load
combination B.
NOTE 1
The method given in EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, 4.2.3.4 is applicable to rigid structures. Bridge and gantry
cranes can possess both rigid and flexible characteristics; therefore, a more general method is required as given here.
With this method also flexible structures, uneven number of wheels, unequally distributed wheel loads as well as different
types of guide means and anti-skewing devices can be considered.

NOTE 2 Forces arising from skewing are generated when the resultant direction of rolling movement of the travelling
crane no longer coincides with the direction of the runway rail, and when the front positive guiding means come into
contact with the rail. This is caused by tolerances and inaccuracies, which arise in the manufacture of the crane (bores of
track wheels) and that of the runway's rail (bends, kinks). The values and distribution of these forces depend chiefly upon
the clearances between the runway rail and the wheel flanges or guide rollers and the latter's location, also on the number,
arrangement, bearing arrangement and rotational speed synchronisation of the track wheels and structural flexibility.
NOTE 3
The use of anti-skew devices with travel motions reduces the guiding forces between the rail and guiding
means. It also reduces the lateral slip forces of the wheels, but some lateral slip remains due to wheel alignment
tolerances and lateral deformations of structures, which effect should be considered.

and lateral slip:

NOTE
The slip factor is the ratio of the slip distance transverse and/or longitudinal to the corresponding travel
distance. For the transverse slip the slip factor is equal to the instantaneous total skewing angle ( or +). See D.3.2.

basis of an adhesion factor measurement. The relationship shall consider the geometry of the affecting
surfaces, the contact pressure and the used materials.

5.2.1.4.5
The skewing forces of the underhung cranes, having rigid structure and running on the bottom flanges of
rigidly fixed runway beams, shall be calculated with the same principles as the top running cranes. See D.2.
However, the guiding force YF may be divided on two wheel flanges of a leading bogie. The minor lateral
forces of the trailing bogies may be ignored. Figure 2 represents an example of the structures and one
possible set of the most critical skewing force combinations.
For configurations where either a runway beam (or both of them) or the bogies on one of the runways, can
float laterally, the lateral forces Y1 and Y2 are balanced by separate guiding forces YF on both leading bogies.
In these cases the guiding forces YF shall be taken conventionally as 20 % of the maximum static vertical
force Z of the wheel. Y1 and Y2, frictional forces are then 10 % of the vertical wheel force of each wheel. The
guiding forces, YF, and frictional forces, Y, balance each other separately on both runways, forming internal
force systems within the bogies (element b) in Figure 2), and also local internal force systems within the
bottom runway flanges. These forces balanced locally do not impose external forces on the crane structure.

The force Fmax.L shall be assigned to the load combination C1 of EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, Table 10, and as
a load to line 13 in the stability combination C3 of Table 11 in the same standard.
5.2.1.5.2
The maximum force, Fmax.L , which is applied to the crane, resulting from the operation of the indirect acting

the indirect acting limiter, see 5.5.1.2. Guidance of a calculation method is given Annex E.

Design basis for multi point lifting in cases where the lifting forces are not equalized
For cranes, which are equipped with two or more lifting points for lifting a single load, e.g. container lifting
frame, the loading on an individual lifting point will depend upon the position of the load centre of gravity with
respect to the lifting points. Location of centres of gravities with relevant loads shall be specified in the
technical file and in the operating instructions.
In force calculations both the case of a mid-air load suspension and that of a load being grounded, possibly in
an inclined position or on an inclined plane, shall be considered. The forces from the latter case (inclined
grounding) shall be addressed to one of the load combinations A, B or C based upon its frequency of
occurrence.
The proof of static strength for the lifting points shall be based upon the maximum force resulting from the
hoist load and maximum load eccentricity. The maximum force possible in each lifting point shall be
considered as a regular load in all relevant load combinations A, B and C according to EN 13001-2. Due
consideration shall be given to the effect of horizontal load actions on the forces in the lifting points.
The proof of fatigue strength shall take into account the whole range of centre of gravity locations, the
frequency of occurrence of these locations and distribution of load values. The resulting fatigue loading shall
be expressed by a series of loads on the lifting points and their respective frequencies of occurrence.
Horizontal load actions and inclined grounding shall be considered in case they appear in load combination A.

NOTE
A European Standard for the selection of rail wheels is under preparation. While the appropriate standard is
not available, the rail wheels and rails may be selected in accordance with ISO 16881-1. Other methods that are based on
experimental knowledge on the wear of the used materials and which give comparable life of the wheels can be used.
For other components the load effects and required life (number of cycles) shall be derived from the service
and load conditions specified in 5.2.1 and they shall not exceed the limit states specified by the component
manufacturer.
5.2.2.3
The stresses of a supporting structure transmitted from local wheel loads shall be calculated and allocated to
the load combinations A, B and C (EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, Table 10) taking into account the relevant i
factors.
Travel wheels generally transmit vertical and tangential wheel loads. The effects of these wheel loads on all
further load transmitting elements of the supporting structure shall be proven for local stresses.
Distribution of wheel loads of a crane or a trolley shall not be considered equalized unless equalizing is
ensured by appropriate arrangements (e.g. pinned bogies, balancers, flexibility of structures).

Cranes with a rated capacity of 1 000 kg or above, or an overturning moment of 40 000 Nm or above due to
the rated load shall be fitted with a rated capacity limiter complying with EN 12077-2 as amended by 5.5.1.2
and 5.5.1.3 of this standard.
5.5.1.2
Settings of rated capacity limiters shall be such that when lifting a load exceeding the hoist load multiplied by a
triggering-factor, the limiter shall be triggered. In general, the triggering-factor shall be 1,1.
For cranes equipped with hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2 a load exceeding the rated capacity of the
hoist multiplied by the triggering-factor shall trigger the limiter. The triggering-factor shall be less or equal to
1,25. A lifted load equal or greater than triggering factor times the hoist load, shall not be lifted from the
ground higher than the maximum rated hoisting speed multiplied by 1 s.
In cases where in normal operation the factor 2 is above the triggering factor, a delayed triggering system may be
needed. If this is provided, it shall operate as described herein. In order to allow for higher values of 2, the
functioning of the rated capacity limiter may be delayed by a pre-set time value, after this time delay the limiter
shall operate normally. In addition an instantaneous trigger shall be provided, this shall be set to trigger
immediately in cases where the force in the hoist system rises 5 % above the level of 2. The final, resulting force
in the hoisting system shall be calculated according to 5.2.1.5.2. Operation of this two-stage triggering system is
shown schematically in Figure 5. If the hoist media force encroaches into the hatched area, triggering takes place
and hoisting will be stopped.
The force due to existence of 2 shall be considered as a regular load in accordance with 5.2.1.3.2.

Settings shall be such that a load equal to 1,1 times the rated capacity of the hoist can be lifted, in order to
perform the dynamic overload test, see 6.3.2.3, without changing the setting of the rated capacity limiter. This
setting shall not allow a load exceeding mRC multiplied by DAL to be lifted, which shall not exceed 1,6 times for
frictional or pneumatic limiters and 1,4 times for hydraulic limiters, the rated capacity of the crane.
In applications where a risk assessment shows an increased severity of possible harm as listed in
EN 13135-2:2004+A1:2010, 5.12.2, the rated capacity limiting facility shall not rely solely upon a friction
torque limiter unless the brake is placed between the friction torque limiter and the load, or the torque of the
limiter is increased to a working coefficient of at least 2 when the brake is engaged, or the same increased
coefficient of safety is achieved by other means.

category 1 stop according to EN 60204-32, but allow movement in the opposite direction to a safe condition.
NOTE 1
Guidance regarding type and location of limiters are given in ISO 10245-5.
The horizontal motions of rail mounted cranes shall be provided with additional limiters, where there is need to
limit operation of the crane, trolley or load in certain areas.
NOTE 2
In some applications it is maybe desirable to fit slow-down limiters in addition to limiters at the end of motions.
5.5.3.2
A second (back-up) upper limiter of hoist motion independently activated from the first, complying with
EN 12077-2 shall be used in high-risk applications as described in EN 13135-2. A second upper limiter shall
also be used on cranes where:
the failure of the first limiter results in the dropping of the load, that directly or indirectly causes an
unacceptable high risk to persons and property: or
the intended use of the crane is such that the upper limit is approached frequently.
NOTE
The second upper limiter should also be used to protect valuable properties, for example: power house
cranes, shipyard cranes, harbour cranes, etc.
Following the operation of the second limiter, a restart shall only be possible by a reset action, e.g. by using a
key-lockable hold-to-run control on the control stand or a manual reset button on the hoist. An indication of a
failure of the first limiter, as required in EN 12077-2:1998+A1:2008, 5.6.1.4, shall be provided showing that a
reset action is necessary, after the second limiter has been triggered.
Indication and reset action are not necessary, if the second limiter is a friction torque limiter designed to
accommodate the movement energy.

limiting the lifting capacity locally where there are limitations due to load bearing capacity of the crane
supporting structures;
b)
limiting of hoisting or travelling speed and/or acceleration/deceleration dependent upon the lifted load;

At the conclusion of testing, all limiters that may have been either disengaged or adjusted to facilitate such
testing shall be reactivated and returned to their prescribed operational settings.
6.3.2
6.3.2.1
Tests
Functional test
All motions of the crane shall be operated throughout their range of movements, without load, up to their
maximum operating speeds. Motion limiters and buffer positions shall initially be approached and contact
made at slow speed prior to contact being made at maximum operational speed. Where buffer stops are used
without other motion limiters, they shall only be contacted once at 100 % speed.
During these tests the crane shall be monitored to check that it operates smoothly, the braking systems
operate effectively and motion limiter and indicator settings are accurate.
All functions of the crane equipment shall be tested, particularly those related to safety, including back-up
brake sequencing, for correct operation.
When installed, a second (back up) upper limiter for hoist range shall be tested by disconnecting the first
limiter and then the motion driven through at both low and high speed.
6.3.2.2
Static test
Cranes fitted with power-driven hoists shall be tested with a load, positioned 100 mm to 200 mm above the
ground and being the greater of:
the hoist load multiplied by factor 2 that has been used in design calculations in load combination A.
Cranes, that are equipped only with direct acting limiters, shall be tested in accordance with the above load
values, or with a load corresponding to the direct acting limiter setting minus 5 % of the rated capacity,
whichever is the greater.
Cranes fitted with hand powered hoists shall be tested according to EN 13157.
The test shall be carried out in the critical trolley positions, such as the middle span, extreme positions of
traverse including any cantilever outreaches, so as to qualify overload and stability requirements. Where
movements are performed during the test, they shall be made separately; a new movement shall not be
initiated until vibrations caused by the preceding movement have dampened out.
Where cranes are equipped with more than one hoist mechanism that can be used separately, they shall be
tested individually prior to the crane test unless previously tested by the manufacturer. The crane shall be
tested with the most unfavourable loading combinations of the hoist mechanisms in the specified use.
The test load shall be applied for a period necessary to make the observations and measurements to evaluate
the crane competence.
Tests are considered successful if no fractures, permanent deformations or damages affecting the function or
safety of the crane are visible and if no connections have loosened or show signs of damage.

NOTE
Minor permanent deformations such as settling are acceptable providing they do not affect the functioning of
the crane.
6.3.2.3
Dynamic test
Dynamic tests shall be performed with a test load that is at least 110 % of the rated capacity.
The tests shall include repeated starting and stopping of each motion, including all combined movements as
provided by the intended use over the whole sequence and range of the movements.
During these tests the crane shall be continuously monitored to check for:
that the hoist motor electrical current is proportional to the name plate or manufacturer's published
values.
The protection performance of the rated capacity limiter shall be tested by lifting a load having a mass
between 110 % to 125 % of the rated capacity as follows:
use maximum speed that the control system allows in this situation;
run the hoist mechanism up to the triggering point of the rated capacity limiter.
The dynamic tests are considered successful if the components in question have fulfilled their function, the
subsequent examination does not reveal any damage to the drive or supporting structure and if no connection
has loosened or been damaged.
NOTE
The combined effect of the loaded crane/trolley when in collision with buffers should be proved by calculation,
see EN 13001-2.
6.3.2.4
Alternative test method for cranes fitted with power driven hoists
When the design of the crane allows, the tests in 6.3.2.2 and 6.3.2.3 may be replaced with a dynamic test,
using the maximum normal speeds for each drive movement with a load obtained by dividing the test load
specified in 6.3.2.2 by the dynamic coefficient 6 of test conditions, (6 = 0,5(1 + 2), see EN 13001-2).
The test is considered successful if the requirements of 6.3.2.2 and 6.3.2.3 are fulfilled.
Where instability is a hazard for the crane a static test shall be undertaken, see 6.3.2.2.

A.4.1 General
A hoist mechanism designed according to EN 14492-2 should be classified with the same parameters of use
as the whole crane, as described in A.1 to A.3. This classification is partly covered by the Classes of
Utilization and Spectrum Classes of lifted loads as defined in FEM 1.001:1998, Booklet 2, 2.1.2 referred by
EN 14492-2 in 5.1. In addition, the average hoisting distances shall be specified.

The appropriate class of mechanism according to FEM 1.001:1998, Booklet 2 (ISO 4301-1:1986) shall be
derived using the parameters of the crane (see A.1. to A.3). A.4.2 to A.4.3 give guidance for the selection of
the class of the mechanism according to the crane specification.
Where the selected hoist classification does not comply with the design life of the crane, the two differing
design lives, expressed in years, should be stated in the user's manual.
When the load spectrum factor according to A.2 is determined, the return motion without the payload is not
considered. When the load spectrum factor for the determination of the class of the hoist mechanism is
calculated, the mass of the non-fixed load-lifting attachment and the return motion also shall be considered.

The following calculation method results in determination of the rope force history h(t) when a grounded load
is lifted starting with a slack rope and taking into account the elasticity of the crane bridge and the hoist rope.
The history of the dynamic rope force factor can be calculated using the following equation:
(C.1)
This equation represents the dynamic behaviour of the crane model shown in Figure C.1.

Calculation of stall load factor for indirect acting lifting force limiter
Indirect acting lifting force limiters measure the load using a sensor and override the controls to prevent
excessive loading by bringing the motion to rest. Evaluation of the measured values and filtering of
interference signals require time and act as a triggering delay. An additional time delay takes place before the
braking torque is applied.
The stall load factor IAL for indirect acting lifting force limiters can be calculated as follows:

Local stresses in wheel supporting flanges
F.1 General
When trolleys travel on the girder flanges of a girder, irrespective of the girder support arrangement, flange
bending stresses occur as secondary stresses in the area of the point of application of the wheel load F.
Formulae and coefficients are given for two types of main girders:
a)
b)
When determining the stresses in accordance with EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, Table 10 and in the proof of
fatigue strength, the local stresses shall be combined with the global stresses. In the load combinations A, B
and C (see EN 13001-2:2004+A3:2009, Table 10) and in the proof of fatigue strength (load combinations A),
the local stresses in the plates and shall be multiplied by 0,75 before combining with the global stresses.
If the wheel loads F are not symmetrical, the local stresses are calculated with the maximum wheel load and
the relevant distance i. In addition to these flange bending stresses and the main stresses, torsion stresses
from the resulting non-symmetrical load application point shall be calculated in the girder cross section.
NOTE
The local stresses can be reduced by factor 0,75 because of the extra plastic bending capacity of the flange
plate or extra plastic tension capacity of the web.
In fatigue analysis the effect of local stress can be reduced, because the fatigue strength in bending of a plate is typically
30 % to 60 % higher than in tension, for the same joint or detail.

Noise test code
G.1 General
This noise test code specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under standardized
conditions the determination, declaration and verification of the noise emission characteristics of bridge and
gantry cranes.
Noise emission characteristics include emission sound pressure levels at operator's positions. The
determination of these quantities is necessary for:
The use of this noise test code ensures reproducibility of the determination of the noise emission
characteristics within specified limits determined by the grade of accuracy of the basic noise measurement
method used. Noise determination methods allowed by this standard are:
a calculation method (G.3) to determine the overall noise emitted by the noisiest components of the
crane.
This method shall be used systematically and the value resulting from the calculation shall be given in the
instructions for use (see 7.3.1) unless the measured values are available.
Noise caused by rail-wheel contact in travelling and noise emitted by the runway structures as well as
noise from crane power supply festoon system or conductor bars are excluded, because they may not be
fully in crane manufacturer's control.
This method underestimates the actual noise emission value of the crane when installed at the user's
place;
a measurement method (G.4) of the sound pressure level at the operator's position once the crane is
installed at the user's place.
This sound pressure level is not an emission sound pressure level because it includes the crane, the
structure to which the crane is fixed and the acoustic characteristics of the room or surroundings.
This method has priority over the calculated values, when the sound pressure value added by the
uncertainty exceeds 70 dB(A) at a working place.
The measurement determines two values, one for hoisting and traversing and another for the travelling of
a crane. Both values shall be given in the instructions for use (see 7.3.1). For the sound pressure level at
the operator's position, both values have to be considered. The actual value may be higher than the
biggest of them, when there is a situation where hoisting, traversing and travelling occur at the same
time.
For the cranes that have an A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operators position higher than
80 dB the sound power level shall be indicated. Determination of the required values is presented in G.4.1.2.

The C-weighted peak emission sound pressure levels in the bridge and gantry cranes are typically so low that
they need not to be measured and reported.
G.3.2 Calculation
The contribution of a given noise source with A-weighted sound power level LWA is given by the following
equation:
S
L pA = LWA 10 lg
S0
(G.1)
where
LpA is the resulting A-weighted sound pressure level at the operator's position;
LWA is the A-weighted sound power level of the source, in decibels; reference: 1 pW;
2
S = 2r , where r is the distance between the considered place and the sound source;
2
S0 = 1 m .
The values of the sound power level of the components to be used in the calculation shall correspond to the
rated loads and speeds of the crane.
The noise sources to be taken into account in the calculation are:
hoist mechanism;
The values shall include the noise of the electrical control cubicles and power source.
The typical locations of these noise sources are shown in Figure G.1. The operator is assumed to be in a
vertical plane containing the sources. For the power operated load lifting attachment the nearest normal
operating distance shall be considered.
The values of the A-weighted sound power levels and the distances r used for the calculations shall be
reported.

The uncertainty of the calculation is that with which the sound power levels of the components have been
determined.
This calculation method does not take into account the effect of structure-borne noise and sound reflection by
the ground and therefore the calculated noise levels are usually lower than levels that would be measured.

indicated. For the bridge and gantry cranes one of the following cases shall be applied, when the A-weighted
sound pressure level at a working position exceeds 80 dB(A):
a)
Indoor bridge cranes (and sometimes gantry or semi-gantry cranes) are usually installed in the proximity
of the ceiling of the hall and the ends of the crane are close to the walls or columns. There are a lot of
reflecting and absorbing surfaces around the crane, which vary from one installation place to other. These
kinds of installation conditions do not meet the requirements for the acoustic environment for the
determination of sound power level (see EN ISO 3744:2010, Annex A). Therefore, the A-weighted sound
pressure levels shall be measured and declared at the six positions defined by coordinates:
1)
2)
y = -h, h;
3)
z = 1,6 m;
is the height from the floor level to the top of the main hoist trolley;
is the coordinate below and parallel with the essential symmetry line of the girder(s), at floor
level, origin at the vertical line of one of the supporting travel rails;
is the horizontal coordinate parallel with the travel rails of the crane;

DIN EN 15011:2011-05
EN 15011:2011 (E)
The working cycle during the measurement shall be as described in G.4.3.2, a).
b)
Large outdoor bridge and gantry cranes have dimensions outside the radius of 16 m. In most cases the
installation conditions do not meet requirements for the determination of sound power level. The
determination of the sound power level shall be replaced by the measurement and declaration of sound
pressure levels in the positions determined essentially in the same way as for indoor cranes. In this
determination the cantilevers can be ignored, as the sound power radiated by the hoist trolley on a
cantilever is essentially same as on the span area. Exceptionally, in cases where a separate, fixed
machinery house is installed outside the span, e.g. on a cantilever, the length l shall be extended so that
it includes the machinery house totally. The length of traversing motion shall be extended accordingly.
The working cycle during the measurement shall be as described in G.4.3.2, a).
c)
Where an outdoor gantry crane is sufficiently small and acoustic environment is sufficient, the sound
power level shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 3744. The reference box and measuring
surface parameters shall be determined on the following principles:
1)
length l 1 is the span of the crane; where fixed machineries are located outside the span, l1 shall be
extended to include them;
2)
width l 2 is the maximum distance between the outer surfaces of the vertical legs in yz-plane;
3)
height l 3 is the vertical distance from the travel rail level to the top of the main hoist trolley or the
machinery house, whichever is higher.
d)
Where the A-weighted sound power levels for the hoisting and traversing motion of the hoist trolley (under
loaded condition) and for the fixed load lifting attachment can be measured in a qualified acoustic
environment, those values can be declared instead of the power level of the whole crane. During
measurement of the traversing, the trolley shall be running along the steel girder(s), as this represents the
actual use.
NOTE 1
The travelling motion can be omitted, as it is usually so silent that an additional acoustic warning signal is
needed, or it depends on the construction of the overhead runways that is out of control of the crane manufacturer.
NOTE 2 Case d) above is typically applicable for serially manufactured hoists. The custom-built hoist trolleys are typically
individual and are not operable with load in a qualified acoustic environment before installation at the end users site.
Noise caused by the non-fixed load lifting attachments is the matter of the manufacturer of the equipment.
General
In all cases, the testing position of the crane for the measurements should be so selected that the reflections
and other environmental disturbances are minimized.

The load handled during the work cycles should be preferably the rated load, but in the case of difficulty to use
the rated load, a load representing the typical loads and having a mass that is at least 50 % of the rated load
mass may be used.
Measurements in enclosed cabins shall be taken with the doors and windows closed and the air-conditioning
and/or ventilating system(s) operating at midrange speed if more than two operating speeds are available. If
only two operating speeds are available, then the highest speed shall be used. If the air-conditioning and/or
ventilating systems have a recirculation and outside air position, it shall be set for outside air.
G.4.3.2
a)
Hoist the load with maximum speed at the point one quarter of span (beside the measuring point).
Duration shall correspond to one half of the total lifting height.
2)
Start traversing during the hoisting (about at the mid height of hoist path) and go on to the point 3/4
of the span.
3)
Start lowering before stopping the traversing motion and go on to the ground level.
4)
5)
Where slewing of the trolley or slewing of a lifting attachment is included, it shall be operated during
traversing.
Where there are limitations in making movements simultaneously, the cycle description shall be modified
accordingly.
b)
Test cycles and measurements in a) and b) shall be repeated at least three times.
The test result
G.4.3.3
Travelling
Noise measurement during crane travelling shall be made separately holding the load at the mid span of the
crane.
The measuring period shall start when the reference box reaches the stationary microphone, and it shall end
when the other side of the reference box has passed the microphone.
NOTE
The reference box is a hypothetical surface which is the smallest rectangular parallelepiped that just encloses
the noise sources (the whole crane structure) and terminates on the reflecting plane (floor).

G.5 Uncertainties
No technical data on noise emission are presently available to estimate the standard deviation of
reproducibility for the family of machinery covered by this noise test code. Therefore, the values of the
standard deviation of reproducibility stated in the basic noise emission standards may be regarded as interim
upper boundaries and used for the determination of the uncertainty K when preparing the noise declaration.
Investigations requiring a joint effort of manufacturers are necessary to determine a possibly lower value of
the standard deviation of reproducibility, which will result in a lower value of the uncertainty K. Results of such
investigations will be reflected in a future version of this standard.
Where the sound pressure levels in specified positions are reported (G.4.1.2, a) and b)) instead of the
required sound power level, this fact shall be reported. The acoustic environment condition shall also be
reported (for guidance on description of environment, see EN ISO 3744:2010, Table A.1).
The noise values measured during crane travelling shall be reported separately from the values representing
the specified work cycle, because such values may be more strongly affected by the noise generated in the
runways and the building.
In the calculation method the assumptions made for the calculation, the precise positions of sound sources
and operator(s), the values used as sound power input data and the results of the calculations shall be
reported.
