I’m talking about designs. Like full CAD and step-by-step documentation.
So someone else follows your designs, builds the thing, and dies. The reason tbey died is objectively due to a design flaw, not a mistske in building to spec. Does the EU make you legally liable?
EU don’t, but you need to make sure about the country in which you operated the crane as each EU country has its own laws and EU directives are not laws.
I doubt you can be held responsible in such a case unless you are a civil engineer enabled to publish such designs and you did so by stating that those designs are in fact good to go.
If I build my own crane and die or, worse, kill somebody operating it I am the only one responsible even if my uncle told me how to do so.
