Scope:

The scope of this guideline is to provide stakeholders within the onshore wind industry with

requirements and guidance for planning and undertaking transport and lifting operations related

to WTG components.

Local legal requirements must always be considered and should any contradictions occur

between this best practice guideline and the applicable local regulations, then local legislation

shall take precedence. If, however, this guideline requires a higher standard than local legal

requirements, then the guideline should be applied thereby positively contributing to the local

requirements.
