Additionally, the standard does not cover slings, ladles, expanding mandrels, buckets, grabs, grab buckets, or power‑operated container handling spreaders (which fall under EN 15056).

For critical attachments such as vacuum lifters, the standard requires a design. This means the system must be capable of safely holding the load even if one component fails. The safety factor for such systems is calculated by considering the worst‑case single failure scenario.

The standard sets high bars for mechanical integrity and operational safety: EN 13155:2020/FprA1 - Non-fixed load lifting attachments

Must be equipped with a mechanism (like a safety chain or retaining bar) to prevent the pallet or load from sliding off during transit.
