GOST 33713-2015 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 33713-2015 — Краны грузоподъемные. Регистраторы параметров работы. Общие требования (English: Cranes. Registrars of operating parameters. General requirements). This interstate standard specifies general technical, functional and documentary requirements for devices that register and store operating parameters (recorders/data-loggers) of lifting cranes, aimed at obtaining reliable information on crane operating conditions, resource consumption, incidents and causes of accidents.

Abstract

GOST 33713-2015 establishes definitions, classification, design and performance requirements, test and acceptance procedures, installation and documentation rules, and operational and maintenance requirements for registrars of operating parameters (RPs) used on lifting cranes. The standard covers both autonomous and built-in recorders, interfaces for data reading, requirements for measurement accuracy and data integrity, environmental and electromagnetic protection, and personnel training for commissioning and maintenance.

General information

• Status: Active (interstate standard; introduced as national standard of the Russian Federation).
• Publication date: Adopted 28 December 2015; introduced / effective date 1 April 2017.
• Publisher: Interstate standard adopted under the Interstate Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (EASC); submitted/registered by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart).
• ICS / categories: 53.020.20 (Lifting and handling equipment — cranes).
• Edition / version: GOST 33713-2015 (first edition; introduced 2017).
• Number of pages: 24.

Scope

The standard applies to registrars of operating parameters (RPs) for lifting cranes and sets out common requirements to ensure that RPs provide necessary and sufficiently accurate information about crane operation and the causes of incidents and accidents. It is intended for use when designing, manufacturing, installing, commissioning, testing and operating RPs as standalone (autonomous) devices or as built-in parts of safety devices (limiters, indicators). The provisions may be used to support conformity assessment and safety evaluations of cranes.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of RPs (autonomous vs built-in) and related reading devices (PRC).
• Functional requirements: parameters to be recorded (loads, boom angle/position, lifting height, travel, time stamps, error/status codes, etc.).
• Measurement accuracy and verification: requirements for permissible deviations and procedures for checking and adjustment (including thresholds for corrective action; e.g., recorded deviation limits used as acceptance/maintenance triggers).
• Data storage, format and retention: requirements for preserving chronological records, including time/date stamping, non-volatile storage and mechanisms to read/export data (USB, memory card, dedicated readout unit).
• Interfaces and compatibility: requirements for readout devices and for RPs that form part of other safety devices (ensuring traceability and interoperability).
• Environmental, mechanical and electromagnetic protection: climatic categories, ingress protection (IP), vibration and shock resistance in accordance with referenced GOSTs.
• Installation, commissioning and acceptance testing: documentation to accompany installation and mandatory test/protocols to record device performance and calibration status.
• Operation, maintenance and repair: rules for scheduled checks, repair procedures, calibration, and corrective actions when registered data deviate beyond allowable limits.
• Personnel training and responsibilities: requirements for qualifications and training of installers, service personnel and crane operators for reading/using RP data and maintaining RPs.
• Marking, documentation and traceability: requirements for passports, installation records, test protocols and storage of quality documentation with the crane passport.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and designers of crane safety and monitoring equipment, crane OEMs, service and maintenance organizations, plant and site safety engineers, technical inspectors, certification bodies, and investigators of accidents/incidents. The standard is used to specify and verify on-board data-loggers and recorder systems for mobile, tower and overhead cranes in industrial, construction and port applications.

Related standards

Key referenced documents and related standards include ISO 4306-1 (crane vocabulary), ISO 12482 (monitoring for crane design working period), GOST 33709.1 (crane vocabulary — part 1), GOST 32575.1 (limiters and indicators — general provisions), and other GOSTs covering climatic categories, IP protection, electromagnetic compatibility and electrical supply voltages (for example GOST 15150, GOST 14254, GOST 28751, GOST 29322). The standard is aligned with interstate and national normative references for crane safety and monitoring.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions, classification, functional and metrological requirements, installation and commissioning, testing and acceptance, documentation and marking, operation, maintenance and personnel training for registrars of operating parameters (both autonomous and built-in units) used on cranes.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Crane manufacturers and equipment suppliers, maintenance and service organizations, safety engineers, certification and inspection bodies, and accident investigators use this standard to specify, verify and operate crane parameter recorders.
