European foreword
This document (EN 17076:2020+A1:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147
“Cranes - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by !SFS".
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2025, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by December 2025.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
!This document supersedes EN 17076:2020.
The major changes in comparison with the previous version are the following:
— update of 5.1.1, "Components of anti-collision devices and systems";
— modification of 6.2, “Normal operation mode of an anti-collision device”;
— modification of 6.9, “Outside indicators”;
— modification of Clause 7, “Verification of the safety requirement and/or protective measures."
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.

Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonized 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 2006/42/EC modified.
This document is a type C standard as stated in !EN ISO 12100:2010".
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this standard.
!This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process 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 specifies the safety characteristics and the requirements:
— of anti-collision devices and systems intended for installation on self-erecting tower cranes and
tower cranes erected from parts for construction work (as defined in EN 14439:2006+A2:2009) to
avoid:
— the risks of collision between several cranes;
— the risks of collision between a crane in service and fixed obstacles;
— travelling over prohibited zones;
— of working range limiting devices.
NOTE Anti-collision devices and systems and working range limiting devices according to this document are
safety components.
