EN 13889:2003+A1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA regulations. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope. In addition, lifting equipment will conform as appropriate to EN 292 for hazards that are not covered by this standard. The designation system given in annex C for recording the identifying features of forged steel shackles has been included in this first edition of this standard as an informative annex. However, should its use become accepted then the status of the annex will need to be reviewed. SIST EN 13889:2004+A1:2009

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard the terms and definitions given in EN 10025: 1990 and the following apply: 3.1 shackle a lifting accessory comprising a body and pin as shown in Figures 1 and 2 which are readily separable and can be used to connect a load to a lifting machine directly or in conjunction with other lifting accessories.
3.2 body a part of the shackle formed to the shape of a dee or bow and terminating in eyes as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
3.3 pin a component of circular section which passes through the eyes of the shackle, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and B.1 and which can be readily disassembled.
3.4 dee shackle a shackle the crown of which forms a semicircle of internal radius half the width, W, between the eyes as shown in Figure 1. 3.5 bow shackle a shackle the crown of which forms more than a semicircle of internal radius more than half the width, W, between the eyes as shown in Figure 2. 3.6 working load limit WLL maximum mass that a shackle is authorized to sustain in general service NOTE This term has the same meaning as the term maximum working load used in EN 292-2: 1991, annex A. 3.7 manufacturing proof force MPF force applied to the shackle during the manufacturing proof test 3.8 breaking force BF maximum force reached during the static tensile test of a shackle at which the shackle fails to retain the load 3.9 traceability code series of letters and/or numbers marked on a shackle that enables its manufacturing history, including identity of the cast of steel used, to be traced
3.10 lot number of shackles of the same type and dimensions, manufactured during the same production run from the same cast of steel and subjected to the same heat treatment process
3.11 type W pin screwed pin with eye and collar and which screws into one eye of the shackle body

EN 13889:2003+A1:2008 (E) 7 3.12 type X pin bolt type pin with hexagon head, hexagon nut and split cotter pin
3.13 competent person designated person, suitably trained, qualified by knowledge and practical experience, and with the necessary instruction to enable the required test and examination to be carried out NOTE EN ISO 9001 gives guidance on training. 4 Hazards Accidental release of a load, or release of a load due to failure of shackle 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 shackles EN 13889 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 shackle EN 13889 also gives the requirements for marking and the manufacturer's certificate. Errors of fitting can also lead to failure and EN 13889 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 annex A. Table 1 contains those hazards, which require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being specific and significant for shackles.

EN 13889:2003+A1:2008 (E) 11 5.2.2 Pins Pins shall be in accordance with annex B. The collar diameter or width across the flats of the nut shall be at least 1,2D or D+ 3 mm whichever is greater. The outside diameter of the thread shall be the same as the outside diameter of the pin taking into consideration any undercutting of the thread to allow for galvanising or coating. The screwed portion of the pin shall be concentric with the main portion. In the case of type W pins, when the pin is fully tightened the length of thread remaining visible between the jaws of the shackle shall not be greater than 1,5 thread pitch. In the case of type X pins, when the pin is fully tightened there shall be no thread visible between the jaws of the shackle. 5.2.3 Hole diameter The maximum diameter of the unthreaded hole or holes in the body of the shackle shall be either 1,1D or D + 1,5 mm, whichever is greater, where D is the actual pin diameter. Holes in shackle bodies shall be central to the outside of the eyes. 5.3 Manufacturing methods and workmanship 5.3.1 Manufacture Shackle bodies shall be forged hot in one piece. Excess metal from the forging operation shall be cleanly removed leaving the surface free from sharp edges. After heat-treatment, furnace scale shall be removed. Profiling of blanks other than by bending or forging shall not be used. Shackle pins shall not be produced by a casting process. No welding shall be carried out on any part of the shackle body or pin. 5.3.2 Surface finish The finished condition of shackles shall include any surface finish. NOTE Shackles are supplied in various surface finishes e.g. descaled, electroplated, hot dip galvanized or painted. If shackles are to be hot dip galvanized or subjected to similar processes, such processing should only be carried out under the control of the shackles manufacturer.

EN 13889:2003+A1:2008 (E) 12 5.4 Materials and heat treatment 5.4.1 Quality of material 5.4.1.1 Type of steel The steel shall be produced by an electric process or by an oxygen blown process. 5.4.1.2 Deoxidation The steel shall be fully killed as defined in EN 10025, 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 shackles stabilized against strain-age-embrittlement during service. Steels not susceptible to strain aging will only require a grain refining element to have an austenitic grain size of 5 or finer when tested in accordance with ISO 643. These elements can be aluminium, vanadium or niobium in the quantity of minimum 0,02%. NOTE Medium carbon (steels containing more than 0,2% and less than 0,5% carbon), fine grain heat treated steels are not susceptible to strain aging. 5.4.1.3 Chemical composition The sulfur and phosphorous content of the steel shall be in accordance with Table 3. 5.4.2 Heat treatment Shackles shall be hardened from a temperature above the AC3 point and tempered before being subjected to the manufacturing proof force. The tempering temperature shall be at least 420 °C. The tempering conditions shall be at least as effective as a temperature of 420 °C maintained for a period of 1 h. Sample shackles shall be tested after they have been reheated to and maintained for 1 h at 420 °C and then cooled to room temperature and shall conform to the requirements of 5.5. 5.5 Mechanical properties 5.5.1 Manufacturing proof force (MPF) Shackles shall be able to withstand the manufacturing proof force specified in Table 4. Following removal of the force, the dimensions shall be within the tolerances specified on the shackle manufacturer’s drawings. Shackles are supplied in various surface finishes, (see 5.3.2). Where processes are used which involve the risk of shackle embrittlement e.g. acid cleaning or electroplating, the manufacturing proof force shall be applied in the finished condition. 5.5.2 Breaking force (BF) Shackles in the finished condition shall have a breaking force at least equal to that specified in Table 4.
