NS-ISO 12482:2014 PDF

This International Standard specifies a method for monitoring, during long-term operation, the actual duty of the crane, and a means of comparing this to the original design duty which was specified through classification. The related design standard is ISO 4301-1. Approaching the design life limit means an increased probability of hazards. Monitoring of crane use — as described herein — provides a tool for predicting the approach of the design limits and for focusing special inspections on the critical areas of a crane.

This International Standard is intended to be used for adjusting/modifying the inspections defined in ISO 9927-1.

It is applicable to cranes with a permanent construction throughout the life of the crane.

It is not applicable to mobile or tower cranes, except permanently installed tower cranes.
