• Required information to be supplied with the crane (markings, load charts, operating instructions and limitations).
• Requirements for load‑limiting and indicating devices, controls and safety systems.
• Specific national modifications and explanatory material (those amended by Amendment 3:2018 in the Introduction and Appendix ZZ).

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers, design engineers, component suppliers, conformity assessors, test laboratories, fleet owners/operators, maintenance personnel, and regulators involved with vehicle‑mounted loading cranes and associated safety/compliance activities. The standard supports design, verification, documentation and safe implementation of vehicle‑loading cranes.
