EN 1677-4:2000+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 links 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 link 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 requirements for forged or welded steel master links, intermediate master links, master link assemblies and lower terminal links of grade 8 up to 132 t WLL, mainly for use in: chain slings according to EN 818-4 steel wire rope slings textile slings according to EN 1492-1:2000, EN 1492-2:2000. intended for lifting objects, materials or goods.

4 Hazards Accidental release of a load or, release of a load due to failure of a link 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 links, this Part of EN 1677 gives requirements for the design, manufacture and testing to ensure that specified levels of performance are met. Since failure can be caused by the incorrect choice of grade and specification of link, this Part of EN 1677 also gives requirements for marking and the manufacturer’s certificate. Errors in fitting can also lead to failure and this Part of EN 1677 contains dimensional requirements to allow correct fit. Risk of injury due to sharp edges, sharp angles or rough surfaces when handling is also covered by this standard. Those aspects of safe use associated with good practice are given in prEN 818-6:1999. Table 1 contains those hazards which require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being specific and significant for links of grade 8.

5 Safety requirements 5.1 Design Links shall be either: a) parallel-sided links produced by forging or welding; NOTE Forged links may be with or without integral joining devices. b) pear shaped links with integral joining devices (i.e. links with unequal radii at either end) produced by forging. Parts of integral joining devices, such as pins and their securing elements, shall be so designed and manufactured that, after assembly, no unintended displacement can occur. NOTE The effects of wear, corrosion of securing elements or rough usage should be considered. 5.2 Dimensions The internal dimensions of links covered by this part of EN 1677 shall be such as to ensure articulation so that the force imposed is transmitted in the intended direction. The cross-section of links shall be so as to conform to 5.5. NOTE This requirement permits a varying shape and area of cross-section. The internal length and internal width of parallel sided master links shall be as in table 2. The internal length of pear shaped master links shall be WLL53 minimum (in mm) and the internal width at the widest point WLL27 minimum (in mm) where the WLL is given in tonnes.
