GOST R 54767-2011 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 54767-2011 (ИСО 4310:2009) — "Cranes. Test code and procedures" (Краны грузоподъемные. Правила и методы испытаний). National adoption and modified translation of ISO 4310:2009 that defines rules and methods for testing lifting cranes and the procedures to be followed during those tests.

Abstract

This standard establishes types of tests (preliminary, acceptance, periodic, type, load tests), measurement methods, inspection items and procedural rules used to verify that cranes conform to their declared parameters and safety requirements. It is a national adaptation of ISO 4310:2009 and was used as the Russian test-code reference for lifting cranes until superseded by a later intergovernmental standard.

Scope

Applies to lifting cranes covered by national crane classification standards and establishes general requirements for conducting tests and inspections intended to confirm compliance of principal parameters and technical characteristics with the manufacturer's documentation and applicable normative requirements. It covers arrangement and measurement of test loads, procedures for visual and functional checks, and load-test routines for newly manufactured cranes, cranes after modification, or cranes following repair of load-bearing structures or components.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of test types: preliminary, acceptance, periodic, type and special tests.
• Requirements for preparation and documentation of tests (test plans, certificates, measurement records).
• Procedures for visual inspection, functional checks of mechanisms, safety devices, electrical and hydraulic systems.
• Methods for applying and measuring test loads, load arrangement and instrumentation requirements (reference to separate guidance for test-load properties where applicable).
• Acceptance criteria and pass/fail rules for structural, functional and safety-related items during load and non-load tests.
• Requirements for test personnel qualifications, test environment and safety during testing operations.

Key procedural and measurement rules closely follow ISO 4310:2009 and are used in conjunction with standards addressing test loads and measurement methods.

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers (for factory acceptance testing), repair and maintenance organizations (for post-repair and periodic tests), independent testing laboratories and inspection authorities, certification bodies, and plant/ site safety engineers who must verify compliance of lifting cranes with declared characteristics and safe operation requirements.

Related standards

Principal related and referenced documents include ISO 4310:2009 (basis for this GOST R adoption), GOST R 54768-2011 (requirements for test loads — ISO 14518:2005), GOST 27555 (classification and basic terminology for cranes), and the later intergovernmental standard GOST 34687-2020 (Cranes. Test code and procedure) which entered into force 1 July 2021 and superseded GOST R 54767-2011 in Russian practice.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 54767-2011 is the Russian national adoption (with modifications) of ISO 4310:2009 that establishes the test code and procedures for lifting cranes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the rules, measurement methods and procedures for carrying out visual, functional and load tests on cranes to confirm compliance with declared technical parameters and safety requirements, including preparation, instrumentation, execution and documentation of tests.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Crane manufacturers, maintenance and repair organizations, testing laboratories, certifying bodies, plant safety personnel and inspectors responsible for verifying crane performance and safety.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST R 54767-2011 was introduced for use on 1 January 2013 but has been withdrawn from national application and superseded by GOST 34687-2020 (Cranes. Test code and procedure), which entered into force on 1 July 2021. Users should reference GOST 34687-2020 for the current Russian/intergovernmental test code.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it forms part of a group of standards addressing cranes and lifting equipment (classification, test loads, stability, safety devices). Related national adoptions include GOST R 54768-2011 (test load requirements) and other crane-specific GOST/GOST R documents; the suite has been consolidated into the later GOST 34687-2020 intergovernmental standard.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Cranes, test code, load test, acceptance test, periodic inspection, ISO 4310, GOST R, crane testing procedures, test loads.
