Standards for crane safety and DDA
compliance
February's issue of the BSI Business Information Manufacturing and Construction Newsletter focuses on new crane safety and design standards, plus the management of inclusive design.
February's issue of the BSI Business Information Manufacturing and Construction Newsletter focuses on new crane safety and design standards, plus the management of inclusive design and why inclusive design needs to be addressed BSI Business Information has just published two new standards in the BS EN 13001 series relating to principles and guidelines for the design and safety of cranes
Both of these standards have been prepared to provide one means for the mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform with the relevant essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
BS EN 13001-1:2004 'Crane safety, General design, General principles and requirements' covers the following: safety requirements and/or measures; general principles; simulation of load actions; methods for the proof of competence; total numbers of working cycles; frequencies and positioning of loads; classification of stress histories; proof calculation; models of cranes and loads; load combinations and load effects; classification; average linear or angular displacements; frequencies of stress cycles; and transformation of the identified stress cycles.
This part of the standard is priced at GBP86 or GBP43 for BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN 13001-2:2004 'Crane safety, General design, Load effects' covers the following: load combinations; loads on means provided for access; survey of load combinations; partial safety factors for mass of crane; aerodynamic coefficients; loads - regular, occasional and exceptional; high-risk applications; mass distribution classes MDC1 and MDC2; and partial safety factors for the proof of rigid body stability.
This part of the standard is priced at GBP122 or GBP61 for BSI Subscribing Members.
Technical Specification DD CEN/TS 13001-3.1:2004 'Cranes, General design' covers limit states and proof of competence of steel structures, and is to be used together with Part 1 and Part 2 of BS EN 13001 and, as such, specifies general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
This Technical Specification is priced at GBP116 or GBP58 for BSI Subscribing Members.
DD CEN/TS 13001-3.2:2004 'Cranes, General design' covers limit states and proof of competence of wire ropes in reeving systems.
This Technical Specification has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means for the mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended.
This Technical Specification is priced at GBP48 or GBP24 for BSI Subscribing Members.
Now that the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) is in full force, there is a need to ensure products and services are designed to meet the needs and limitations of the wider population.
BS 7000-6:2005 'Design management systems, Managing inclusive design, Guide' is a new guide that can help users to implement a systematic approach so that products and services can be used by diverse users without difficulty or adaptation.
This guide is priced at GBP122 or GBP61 for BSI Subscribing Members.
More information about BS 7000 Parts 1-6 and 10 can be found on the BSI website, plus other related standards including BS 8888:2004 Technical Product Specification.
It is also possible to save 20 per cent if purchasing Kit 94 'Design management systems'.
This kit contains BS 7000 Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 (NB this Kit excludes BS 7000-6:2005).
Kit 94 is priced GBP414 or GBP207 for BSI Subscribing Members.
