All rights reserved. ABS Plaza  \n1701 City Plaza Drive  \nSpring, TX 77389 USA  \nForeword (1 May 2025)  \nThe requirements in this Guide were first developed in 2006 consolidating requirements from ABS Rules and Guides such as Guide for Certification of Cranes, Guide for Self-Unloading Cargo Gear on Great Lakes, Guide for Certification of Cargo Gear on Merchant Vessels, Guide for Certification of Elevatorsand Guide for Certification of Stern, Bow and Sideport Ramps and Moveable Platforms (Decks) . The Guide has since been updated in 2007, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.  \nThe December 2020 edition of the Guide for Certification of Lifting Appliances was an updated version of the 2019 edition of the subject Guide. Updates were made to the maintenance and inspection requirements for wire ropes for subsea lifting, as well as non-destructive inspection of cranes with slewing rings. This edition also incorporated survey windows, including a three-month extension of the Retesting Survey for crane surveys that are not governed by the ILO 152 Convention, and for Annual Elevator Surveys when allowed by the flag Administration.  \nThe December 2021 edition relocated the survey after construction requirements from this Guide to Section 7-9-45 of the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) . The December 2021 edition also incorporated design requirements for boom rests, and for cranes used for occasional subsea lifting under mild environmental conditions.  \nThe August 2024 edition incorporated the Goal Based Standard framework in this Guide, and is based on the philosophy outlined under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) circular Generic Guidelines for Developing IMO Goal-Based Standards (MSC. Circ.1394) . Goal Based Standards offer a path for class approval for alternative and novel concepts, which may not be addressed by existing prescriptive requirements. As Goal Based Standards do not dictate specific technical solutions, they are better suited to accommodate future technological developments. The key changes in the August 2024 edition of this Guide include:  \n● Incorporation of Goals and Functional Requirements in individual chapters. Clarified as to which documents are to be submitted for review (R) or informational purposes (I), and which documents are to be retained onboard the vessel or facility (OB) . Included updated figures for lifting appliances. Added commentary to provide further guidance on the requirements, and further clarified the text of the requirements.  \n● Chapter 1: Further clarified the requirements for the Class Notations PL, PL+, and PL++ .  \nChapter 2: Updated the requirements for crane safety devices and proof testing of cranes. Updated the test loads for loose gear proof testing for consistency with IMO MSC.1/Circ.1663, Guidelines for Lifting Appliances.  \n● Chapter 3: Added requirements for emergency recovery of personnel, loose gear and sheaves. Updated requirements for wire ropes.  \n● Chapter 4: Expanded the scope of this chapter so that it addresses self-unloading cargo gear on oceangoing vessels, in addition to Great Lakes vessels. Updated the requirements for wire ropes, safety devices, and monitoring. Updated the test loads for loose gear proof testing for consistency with IMO MSC.1/Circ.1663, Guidelines for Lifting Appliances.  \n● Chapter 5: Updated the requirements for driving machine brakes.  \n● Chapter 6: Updated the references to the structural design equations in the Marine Vessel Rules. Updated the requirements for wire ropes, brakes and marking of ramps / platforms. Updated the test loads for loose gear proof testing for consistency with IMO MSC.1/Circ.1663, Guidelines for Lifting Appliances.  \nThe December 2024 edition revised the requireme","cbCaiu1f0mHxYeDr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu1f0mHxYeDr","pdf",31572027,284,"English","# Foreword\n# Contents\n## Chapter 1 Scope and Conditions of Certification\n## Chapter 2 Guide for Certification of Cranes","[{\"question\":\"What is the effective date and how should users verify the latest version?\",\"answer\":\"The guide becomes effective on the first day of the month of publication.
