Conclusion

What is DIN EN 13155?

Included Equipment: Plate clamps, vacuum lifters, lifting magnets (electric, permanent, electro-permanent), lifting beams, C-hooks, lifting forks, and lifting insert systems.

Automatic Systems: Vacuum lifters and magnets have specific monitoring requirements, typically needing a Performance Level 'c' (Category 3) to alert operators of potential failures. 3. Verification and Documentation

Vacuum Lifters: Both self-priming and non-self-priming (pump, venturi, or turbine) systems.

Operating Limits: It does not cover operations in explosive atmospheres, noise hazards, or the lifting of people. 2. Key Technical Requirements

DIN EN 13155 (specifically the latest update, DIN EN 13155:2020+A1:2025) defines the safety requirements and verification methods for detachable lifting attachments. Unlike the crane itself, these are the "loose" tools used to grip or support a load. Key Equipment Covered:
