Overview
EN 13411-1:2002+A1:2008 is the CEN European Standard that sets the minimum requirements for non-welded general purpose steel thimbles produced from plate for use in steel wire rope slings. The standard applies to thimbles intended for slings made with six- or eight-strand steel wire ropes from 8 mm to 60 mm nominal diameter in accordance with EN 12385-4. Reeving thimbles and solid thimbles are excluded. The document addresses hazards associated with inadequate strength, errors of fitting and other risks relevant to lifting operations.
Key Topics
- Scope and intended use: Thimbles for general-purpose slings made from plate; compatible with 6- and 8-strand ropes (8–60 mm).
- Dimensions: Thimble dimensions are specified in Figure 1 of the standard. Dimensional compliance ensures correct fit and reduces risk of premature failure.
- Material: Plate steel shall conform to EN 10025. If zinc coating is applied, the recommended minimum coating mass is 120 g/m2 applied per ISO 1461 (see NOTE in clause 5.2).
- Construction and quality: Thimbles must be free from flaws or defects; a small gap at the joint may be tolerated. The standard permits either pointed or truncated ends subject to agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.
- Type testing and verification:
- Type tests demonstrate that design, material and manufacture meet loading conditions encountered in normal use.
- Test procedure references EN 12385-1 and requires two initial tests per size/design; re-test rules apply if failures occur.
- Specific test details given include use of rope grade 1770, application of load through a pin of diameter 1.5 × nominal rope diameter, and axial loading to 27% of the rope's minimum breaking force. After test, permanent reduction in the key dimension shall not exceed 15%.
- Inspection and certification: Visual inspections for surface defects and dimensional checks with specified instrument accuracy are required. Manufacturers should provide certificates of conformity on request.
Applications
EN 13411-1 thimbles are used primarily in lifting and rigging where wire rope slings form eyes or terminations. Key practical benefits:
- Ensures consistent fit between rope and accessory to reduce wear and localized stress.
- Provides defined material and testing requirements to reduce risk of load release or premature failure.
- Supports compliance with the Machinery Directive (see informative Annexes ZA and ZB) when used within the standard's scope.
Typical users include rigging suppliers, sling manufacturers, inspection bodies and purchasers specifying safe lifting components.
Related Standards
- EN 12385-1: Steel wire ropes – General requirements and testing methods (referenced for testing method).
- EN 12385-4: Stranded ropes for general lifting applications (rope constructions and grades covered).
- EN 10025: Specification for hot rolled structural steels (material reference).
- ISO 1461: Hot-dip galvanized coatings (applies where zinc coating is specified).
- EN ISO 9001: Quality management systems (recommended for supplier quality assurance).
For procurement and compliance, specify nominal rope diameter, desired end profile (pointed or truncated), surface coating requirements and request the manufacturer’s certificate of conformity to EN 13411-1.
