BS EN 1677-1:2000+A1:2008 Licensed CopyChinese University of Hong Kong, 13/06/2009 05:39, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 1677-1:2000+A1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard providing one means of complying with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA regulations. The components covered by this Part of EN 1677 are normally supplied to be part of a sling, but they may also be used for other applications. In such instances it is important that the component design is checked to ensure its fitness for the intended use. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope. In addition, lifting equipment shall conform as appropriate to EN 292 for hazards that are not covered by this standard. 1 Scope This Part of EN 1677 specifies general requirements for forged steel components of grade 8 up to 63 t WLL, mainly for use in: chain slings according to EN 818-4; steel wire rope slings according to prEN 13414-1:1999; textile slings according to EN 1492-1:2000, EN 1492-2:2000 intended for lifting objects, materials or goods. This standard does not apply to hand forged components and welded links, nor to other welded components. The hazards covered by this Part of EN 1677 are identified in clause 4. Annex A is informative, and gives the bases for calculation of tabulated values of mechanical properties. Annex B is informative, and gives an example of a designation system for forged steel lifting components of grade 8. !Annexes ZA and ZB give the relationship with EU-Directives.“ 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

NOTE This term has the same meaning as the term maximum working load used in annex A of EN 292-2: 1991/A1: 1995. 3.2 manufacturing proof force (MPF) Force applied to the component during the manufacturing proof test. 3.3 breaking force (BF) Maximum force reached during the static tensile test of the component, at which the component fails to retain the load. 3.4 traceability code Series of letters and/or numbers marked on a component that enables its manufacturing history, including the identity of the cast of steel used, to be traced.

NOTE Clause 4.18 of EN ISO 9002:1994 gives guidance on training. 3.6 lot Specified number of components from which samples are selected for testing purposes, and that have been manufactured from the same cast of steel and subjected to the same heat treatment process. 4 Hazards Accidental release of a load, or release of a load due to failure of a component puts at risk, either directly or indirectly, the safety or health of those persons within the danger zone. In order to provide the necessary strength and durability of components this Part of EN 1677 gives requirements for the design, manufacture and testing to ensure the specified levels of performance are met. Since failure can be caused by the incorrect choice of grade and specification of component, this Part of EN 1677 also gives requirements for marking and the manufacturers certificate. Risk of injury due to sharp edges, sharp angles or rough surfaces when handling is also covered by this Part of EN 1677. Those aspects of safe use associated with good practice are given in EN 818-6:2000. Table 1 contains those hazards which require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being specific and significant for forged steel components, Grade 8.

NOTE The effects of wear, corrosion of securing elements or rough usage should be considered. 5.2 Materials and heat treatment 5.2.1 Quality of material 5.2.1.1 General Within the limitations given in 5.2.1.2 to 5.2.1.4 the manufacturer shall select the type of steel, to be used so that the finished component, when suitably heat-treated conforms to the mechanical properties specified in this Part of EN 1677. 5.2.1.2 Type of steel The steel shall be produced by an electric process or by an oxygen blown process. 5.2.1.3 Deoxidation The steel shall be fully killed as defined in EN 10025: 1993, be stabilized against strain age embrittlement, and have an austenitic grain size of 5 or finer when tested in accordance with ISO 643. This shall be accomplished by ensuring that the steel contains sufficient aluminium (minimum 0,025 %) to permit the manufacture of components stabilized against strain age embrittlement during service. 5.2.1.4 Chemical composition The steel shall contain alloying elements in sufficient quantities so that the finished component, when heat treated in accordance with 5.2.2, not only conforms to the mechanical properties specified in this Part of EN 1677, but also possesses adequate low temperature ductilit
