Introduction
Suspended baskets for use in lifting operations are lifting interchangeable equipment in the sense of the
Council Directive (98/37/EC) on the approximation of the laws of the Member states relating to machinery
(The Machinery Directive).
This European Standard is a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming to the essential health
and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive. The standard deals exclusively with the health and safety
requirements related to the design of the suspended basket itself. However, whilst it does not specify the
requirements for particular types of crane when they are to be used with suspended baskets, it does provide
information about the equipment necessary to be fitted on cranes for the safe use of the baskets.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope 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 in accordance with the provisions of this type C standard.

7.1 General
Information for use of the basket shall be provided in accordance with Clause 6 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003 and
includes but is not limited to the following specific information.
The manufacturer of the basket shall provide an instruction manual and the minimum requirements to be
provided are the following:
The instruction manual shall state that the suspended basket shall only be used in combination with cranes
which are designed for the lifting of persons.
The combination of the crane and the suspended basket shall only be operated by people trained in the safe
use of the combination, including the operating procedures for egress in case of power supply failure or
control failure.
The lifting and supporting should be made under controlled conditions and under the direction of one
appointed person.
A crane driver should always be present at the normal crane control station when the basket is occupied.
Visible and audible communication should exist between the persons in the basket and the crane driver at all
times during the lifting operation.
The required equipment necessary to perform an emergency rescue shall be available throughout the lifting
operation.
During operation the employer should not require the crane driver and signaller to do other work at the same
time. During the operation they should operate only one crane or direct one suspended basket.
Load lifting attachments for suspended baskets should not be used for any other purpose.
Suspended baskets should not be used in wind in excess of 7 m/s (25 km/h), electric storms, ice, snow, fog,
sleet, or other adverse weather conditions which could affect the safety of personnel.
Machines which can be operated simultaneously in the same place with risks of collision should be stopped.
Unintended movement of the basket should, where possible, be prevented e.g. by means of guide ropes or
anchoring.
The suspended baskets, hook, catch, and fixed load lifting attachment should be inspected prior to each use.
If suspended baskets are moved through openings, measures should be taken against entanglement and
crushing risks.

EN 14502-1:2005 (E)
7.4 Personnel
Persons in suspended baskets should fasten their safety harness onto the anchorages provided.
Tools and material carried by personnel should be secured, in particular against displacement, tipping, and
falling out.
Occupants shall keep all parts of the body inside the suspended basket during raising, lowering and
positioning, to avoid pinch points.
Occupants shall not stand on or work from the handrail or side protection of the suspended basket or anything
in it.
--`,````,,``,,,,,````,`,,`,```,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
The basket shall be positioned on a firm surface during access and egress.
7.5 Special requirements related to the work from the suspended basket
Any power cables or hoses provided to the basket should be connected in such a way that they will not
interfere with the safe operation of the basket.
Any guide ropes provided to the basket should be connected in such a way that they will not interfere with the
safe operation of the basket.
When electric welding from the basket, special care shall be taken to earth the basket in order to protect the
crane and/or its ropes from becoming conductors of electricity.
7.6 Marking
Suspended baskets shall be fitted with a plate durably marked, with the following information and in visible
position:
Annex A
(informative)
A.1 Capacity
There shall be dedicated rated capacities provided for the lifting of persons with corresponding settings for the
rated capacity indicator and limiter.
The rated capacity on the fixed load lifting attachments of the crane from which the basket is to suspended
shall be at least 2 times (weight of the basket + basket lifting attachments + basket rated capacity) over the
whole working range of the crane.
- To operate a crane safely in this case requires direct contact between the crane operator and the crane
structure for the operator to feel the operational behaviour of the crane. If the crane has to be operated
from the suspended basket most of the feedback from the crane movements will get lost through the
ropes and the suspension of the basket.
- A working position in the suspended basket is not stable enough for a working position required for the
crane operator.
--`,````,,``,,,,,````,`,,`,```,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
- The operator shall be able to monitor the wind speed during the lifting operation.
The crane should be equipped with systems such that when the controls are released the motions are brought
to rest automatically without jolting the basket.
Cranes with free-fall capability should not be used for the lowering and raising of persons.
Cranes used for suspended baskets should be designed so that in the case of failure of the power supply or
the control system, the suspended basket can be moved to a position to enable people to exit without risk.
A.3 Hook
The crane hook should be provided with a safety catch.
