EN 13414-2:2003+A2:2008 (E) 7 Annex A (informative)
Example of documented information to be provided by the manufacturer for use and maintenance of wire rope slings for general lifting service A.1 Use of wire rope slings A.1.1 General The adequacy of a wire rope sling should be checked to ensure that it is capable of lifting the load without releasing it. Consideration should be given to the guidance in A.1.2 to A.1.5. A.1.2 Use in adverse environments A.1.2.1 High and low temperatures Account should be taken of the maximum temperature that can be reached by the wire rope sling in service. This is difficult in practice but underestimation of the temperature should be avoided. Table A.1 summarises the necessary de-rated working load limits of a sling due to temperature, taking into account the type of rope termination, the ferrule material and the core of the rope. Table A.1 — De-rated working load limit of slings due to temperature De-rated working load limit expressed as % of WLL of the sling Termination type Ferrule. material Rope core Temperature, T, °C

The use of wire rope slings within the permissible temperature ranges given in table A.1 does not require any permanent reduction in working load limit when the rope is returned to ambient temperature. Wire rope slings will not be adversely affected by temperatures down to -40°C and no reduction from the working load limit is necessary, therefore, on this account. Where wire rope slings are to be used at temperatures below
-40°C the manufacturer should be consulted.
SIST EN 13414-2:2004+A2:2008



EN 13414-2:2003+A2:2008 (E) 8 A.1.2.2 Acidic conditions Wire rope slings should not be used either immersed in acidic solutions or exposed to acid fumes. Attention is drawn to the fact that certain production processes involve acidic solutions, fumes and sprays and in these circumstances the manufacturer’s advice should be sought. A.1.2.3 Conditions in which the sling is likely to be subjected to attack (chemical, abrasive, etc.) The manufacturer of the sling should be consulted, particularly if the sling is to be exposed to chemicals combined with high temperatures. A.1.3 Use in hazardous conditions The rating of slings for general lifting service excludes hazardous conditions including offshore activities, the lifting of persons and lifting of potentially dangerous loads such as molten metals, corrosive materials or fissile materials. In such cases the degree of hazard should be assessed by a competent person and the working load limit adjusted accordingly. A.1.4 Actions to be taken before putting into first use Before first use of the wire rope sling it should be ensured that: a) the sling is precisely as ordered; b) the manufacturer’s certificate is to hand; c) the identification and working load limit marking on the sling correspond to the information on the certificate; d) full details of the sling are recorded in a register of slings; e) the actual use is to be as intended.
A.1.5 Information for safe use of the wire rope sling A.1.5.1 Preparation Before starting the lift, it should be ensured that the load is free to move and is not bolted down or otherwise obstructed. Packing may be required where a rope comes into contact with a load in order to protect either the rope or the load or both, since sharp corners of hard material may bend or damage the rope or, conversely, the rope may damage the load because of high contact pressure. Corner protection should be used to prevent such damage. In order to prevent dangerous swaying of the load and to position it for loading, a tag line is recommended. When loads are accelerated or decelerated suddenly, dynamic forces occur which increase the stresses in the rope. Such situations, which should be avoided, arise from snatch or shock loading e.g. from not taking up the slack rope before starting to lift. A.1.5.2 Mass of the load It is essential that the mass of the load to be lifted is known
SIST EN 13414-2:2004+A2:2008



EN 13414-2:2003+A2:2008 (E) 9 A.1.5.3 Stability of the load when first raised
It is assumed that the attachment point of the hook is directly above the centre of gravity of the load. To lift the load the following conditions should be met: For loads with attachment points a) For single-leg and single endless wire rope slings the attachment point should be vertically above the centre of gravity. b) For two-leg wire rope slings the attachment points should be either side of and above the centre of gravity. c) For three- and four-leg wire rope slings the attachment points should be distributed in plan around the centre of gravity. It is preferable that the distribution should be equal (but see A.1.5.6) and that the attachment points are above the centre of gravity. If the attachment points using a) or b) are at or below the centre of gravity, other lifting arrangements should be used. A.1.5.4 Angles for multi-leg slings When using two-, three- and four-leg wire rope slings the attachment points and sling configuration should be selected to achieve angles between the sling legs and the vertical within the range marked on the sling. Preferably all angles to the vertical (angle
in figure A.1) should be equal (but see A.1.5.6). Angles to the vertical of less than 15° should be avoided if possible as they present a significantly greater risk of load imbalance. All multi-leg slings exert a horizontal component of force (see figure A.1) which increases as the angle between the sling legs is increased. Care should always be taken to ensure that the load to be moved is able to resist the horizontal component of force without being damaged. SIST EN 13414-2:2004+A2:2008
