2、7060 USA Foreword Foreword (2018) The 2018 edition of the Guide for Certification of Lifting Appliances is an updated version of the 2016 edition of the subject Guide. Individual chapters of the Guide have been updated in accordance with the latest industry standards as well as ABS plan review and s

3、urvey practice. The particular changes made to the Guide are as follows: Chapter 2, Guide for Certification of Cranes: i) 2-2/5.15 Aligned the Guide requirements for the allowable stresses for pedestals in extreme conditions of seismic loads or extreme winds with API Specification 2C. ii) 2-2/5.23 L

4、imited the applicability of the requirement to offshore cranes, in line with API Sec.2C/6.4. iii) 2-3/11 Clarified the correct application of the use of “Z” grade steel, in line with Part 5A, Pt 1, Ch 3, Sec 1, 2.5.1 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels (CSR for Bulk Carrier and

5、Oil Carriers). iv) 2-4/1 Allowed the use of the rotation resistant and fiber core ropes for boom hoisting on shipboard cranes, in line with API 9A. v) 2-5/1.1 Clarified the proof load test requirements for hooks and blocks. Referred to the ABS Guide for the Certification of Offshore Containers for s

6、tructure, loose gear, and/or containers used solely for shipping or transferring equipment to offshore units. vi) 2-5/1.5 Required that hook curves be provided. vii) 2-7/5.3 Modified testing requirements for cranes that can only lift the proof test load by luffing the boom, cranes that are not desig

7、ned to slew the proof test load, and large cranes limited on movement based on stability restrictions. Allowed reduction in minimum number of lifts for cranes that have ABS approved test procedures. Chapter 5, Guide for Certification of Shipboard Elevators: i) 5-4/5.1 Clarified that three panel hois

8、tway doors are acceptable, in line with ASME A17.1-2013 Part 1, Section 1.3. ii) 5-4/5.9 Accepted alternative arrangements considered equivalent to the current requirement. iii) 5-4/5.15 Accepted alternative arrangements considered equivalent to the current requirement. iv) 5-5/17.11 Incorporated re

9、quirements of ASME A17.1-2013 2.14.1.5.1(f) b) The review of the design and survey during and after construction to verify compliance with such Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria; c) The assignment and registration of certification when such compliance has been verified, and; d) The issuance

10、 of a renewable certificate, with annual endorsements, valid for five years. The Rules, Guides and standards are developed by the ABS staff and passed upon by committees made up of naval architects, ocean and marine engineers, shipbuilders, engine builders, steel makers, process engineers and by oth

11、er technical, operating and scientific personnel associated with the worldwide maritime industry. Theoretical research and development, established engineering disciplines, as well as satisfactory service experience are utilized in their development and promulgation. ABS and its committees can act o

12、nly upon such theoretical and practical considerations in developing Rules and standards. For Certification, the lifting appliance and its equipment are to comply with the applicable requirements of this Guide and all applicable Rules. 3 Certificates and Reports Review of design documentation and su

13、rveys during and after construction are conducted by ABS to verify to itself and its committees that an item of material, equipment or machinery is in compliance with this Guide and is to the satisfaction of the attending Surveyor. All reports and certificates are issued solely for the use of ABS, i

14、ts committees, its clients and other authorized entities. 5 Representations as to Certification Certification is a representation by ABS as to the structural and mechanical fitness for a particular use or service, in accordance with its Rules, Guides and standards. The Rules and Guides of the Americ

15、an Bureau of Shipping are not meant as a substitute for the independent judgment of professional designers, naval architects, marine engineers, owners, operators, masters and crew, nor as a substitute for the quality control procedures of ship and platform builders, engine builders, steel makers, su

16、ppliers, manufacturers and sellers of marine vessels, materials, system components, machinery or equipment. ABS, being a technical society, can only act through Surveyors or others who are believed by it to be skilled and competent. ABSGUIDE FOR CERTIFICATION OF LIFTING APPLIANCES .2018 3 Chapter 1

17、Conditions of Certification Section 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification 1-1 ABS represents solely to the Lifting Appliance manufacturer or other clients of ABS that when certifying, it will use due diligence in the development of Rules, Guides and standards, and in using normally applied testing

ABS further represents to the Owner or other Clients of ABS that its certificates and reports evidence compliance only with one or more of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of A

19、BS, in accordance with the terms of such certificate or report. Under no circumstances whatsoever are these representations to be deemed to relate to any third party. The user of this document is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and other governmental directi

20、ves and orders related to a vessel, its machinery and equipment, or their operation. Nothing contained in any Rule, Guide, standard, certificate or report issued by ABS shall be deemed to relieve any other entity of its duty or responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, including those relat

21、ed to the environment. 7 Scope of Certification Nothing contained in any certificate or report is to be deemed to relieve any designer, builder, owner, manufacturer, seller, supplier, repairer, operator, other entity or person of any duty to inspect or any other duty or warranty expressed or implied

22、 Any certificate or report evidences compliance only with one or more of the Rules, Guides, standards or other criteria of the American Bureau of Shipping, and is issued solely for the use of ABS, its Committees, its clients or other authorized entities.
