Incorporation by reference
The following editions have been incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR):
| IBR approved for | Overview of requirements | IBR approved edition |
|---|---|---|
| 29 CFR 1926.1433(c)(1)(i) | Employers must ensure mobile (including crawler and truck) and locomotive cranes manufactured on or after November 8, 2010 meet the prototype testing requirements in Test Option A or Test Option B of 1926.1433. Tower cranes manufactured on or after November 8, 2010 must meet the prototype testing requirements in BS EN 14439:2006. (1) Test Option A. (i) The following applies to equipment with cantilevered booms (such as hydraulic boom cranes): All the tests listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) Table 1 must be performed to load all critical structural elements to their respective limits. All the strength margins listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) Table 2 must be met. | SAE J1063 (rev. Nov. 1993), Cantilevered Boom Crane Structures-Method of Test. |
| 29 CFR 1926.1433(c)(2)(i) | Employers must ensure that for equipment with cantilevered booms (such as hydraulic boom cranes): The analysis methodology (computer modeling) demonstrated that all load cases listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) meet the strength margins listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) Table 2. | SAE J1063 (rev. Nov. 1993), Cantilevered Boom Crane Structures-Method of Test. |
| 29 CFR 1926.1433(c)(2)(iii) | Prototype testing: mobile (including crawler and truck) and locomotive cranes manufactured on or after November 8, 2010 must meet the prototype testing requirements in Test Option A or Test Option B of 1926.1433. Tower cranes manufactured on or after November 8, 2010 must meet the prototype testing requirements in BS EN 14439:2006. Test Option A: (i) The following applies to equipment with cantilevered booms (such as hydraulic boom cranes): All the tests listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) Table 1 must be performed to load all critical structural elements to their respective limits. All the strength margins listed in SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) Table 2 must be met. (ii) The following applies to equipment with pendant supported lattice booms: All the tests listed in SAE J987 (Jun. 2003) Table 1 must be performed to load all critical structural elements to their respective limits. All the strength margins listed in SAE J987 (Jun. 2003) Table 2 must be met. Test Option B. The testing and verification requirements of BS EN 13000:2004 must be met. In applying BS EN 13000:2004, the following additional requirements must be met: (iii) Analysis verification. The physical testing requirements under SAE J1063 (Nov. 1993) and SAE J987 (Jun. 2003) must be met unless the reliability of the analysis methodology (computer modeling) has been demonstrated by a documented history of verification through strain gauge measuring or strain gauge measuring in combination with other physical testing. | SAE J1063 (rev. Nov. 1993), Cantilevered Boom Crane Structures-Method of Test. |
