Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonized 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 document that all the relevant information relating to the use
and operating environment of the crane has been exchanged between the manufacturer and the user (as
recommended in ISO 9374, Parts 1 and 5), covering such issues as, for example:
— clearances;
— requirements concerning protection against hazardous environments;
— processed materials, such as potentially flammable or explosive material (e.g. coal, powder type
materials).
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered, are indicated in the scope of this document.
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.

1 Scope
This document applies to bridge and gantry cranes able to travel by wheels on rails, runways or roadway
surfaces, and to gantry cranes without wheels mounted in a stationary position.
NOTE Light crane systems (assembly of lifting devices, crane bridges, trolleys and tracks; wall-mounted, pillar
and workshop jib cranes) are covered by EN 16851.
This document 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 document does not include requirements for the lifting of persons.
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionising radiation and operation in
electromagnetic environment beyond the scope of EN 61000-6-2 are not covered by this document.
This document is applicable to bridge and gantry cranes manufactured after the date of its publication as
a European standard.
