the work of WG 1 will fall into three categories:
- Ensure that there is no overlap of the scopes of the cranes types standards
- Ensure that crane type standards are based on the standards produced by WG 2 to WG 5. In the absence of an appropriate standard other EN- or ISO/IEC- standards may be used.
- Ensure that definitions are not in contradiction. This will be achieved by producing two levels of definitions.
o Level one; Basic definitions, which WGs and WGPs must use - these to be main definitions only, e.g. maximum working load, hoist load, rated capacity. (The chairman undertook to prepare a discussion paper for circulation to CEN/TC 147 WG 1 members.)
o Level two; Definitions applicable to particular crane type.
