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 hooks 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 hook 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 European Standard specifies requirements for forged steel self-locking lifting hooks of Grade 8 having
eye or clevis and pin up to 21,2 t working load limit (WLL), mainly for use in:
2 Normative references

These normative references are cited at the 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. For undated references the

4 Significant Hazards
Accidental release of a load or release of a load due to failure of a hook 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 hooks 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 hook, this Part of EN 1677
Errors of 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 EN 818-6.
Table 1 contains those hazards which require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being

5 Safety requirements
5.1 Design
!
The articulation and relative movement shall be in accordance with 5.1 of EN 1677-1:2000+A1:2008 . "
NOTE 1 The form of the hook is not specified in detail. For example, a minimum value of dimension F (see Figure 1) as
measured in any direction is specified so that the eye of the hook can accommodate a pin, but the eye of the hook need
not be circular.
The form of the upper end shall be either of the eye type or the clevis type as designated in Table 2.
A closed hook in the finished condition shall be able to withstand a bend test in accordance with 6.2.2 (see
Figure 2).
The latch shall be able to withstand a force f1, of 3000 N or equivalent to 20 % of the working load limit of the
hook, whichever is the greater, when applied equidistant between the point of the hook and the centre of
rotation of the latch (see Figure 3).
The latch, when the hook is correctly closed and locked, shall be able to withstand a force f2, applied laterally
to f1, as close as practicable to the tip of the latch, of 3000 N or equivalent to 10 % of the working load limit,
whichever is the greater.
The locking mechanism shall be activated by the application of the load and shall be replaceable.
The hook shall be able to withstand an impact to the eye or clevis of the latch, without opening, when tested in
accordance with 6.2.4. The forces transmitted between the lock and the latch shall not be such that an impact
on the latch causes a moment in the direction of rotation that opens the lock.
The surface hardness of the lock shall be greater than that of the latch.
NOTE 2 The hook should be easy to handle and operate.
NOTE 3 The locking mechanism should be protected against ingress and entrapment of dust or other solids.
5.2 Dimensions
The principal dimensions of the hook shall conform to Table 3, in which the hook dimensions are related to the
working load limit.
NOTE 1 With an eye type hook, connecting devices can be required.
NOTE 2 For direct use in wire rope slings and/or textile slings, dimension F should be larger than the minimum value
given in Table 3.
In addition, the following requirements shall be met:
a) the actual throat opening O is the smaller of O1 and O2
b) the actual point height B shall be at least 65 % of the actual throat opening O (see Figure 1);
c) the actual throat opening O (see Figure 1) shall not exceed 95 % of the actual seat diameter D;
d) in the case of hooks having a clevis, the dimensions of the load pin and the slot on the clevis shall ensure
articulation between pin and the chain;
e) the hook shall be able to close over the maximum diameter of bar A, as indicated in Figure 1, that can be
admitted through the actual throat opening O;

In the tests specified in 6.2.3 to 6.2.5 of EN 1677-1:2000+A1:2008 , the force shall be applied to the
hook axially without shock, using a test fixture of diameter not greater than 60 % of the seat diameter, D, of
the hook.
The static tensile test shall be carried out with the hook in the correctly locked position.
6.2.2 Bend test
6.2.2.1 General
A closed hook in the finished condition shall be bend tested in a 120°-V-die (see Figure 2) by application of a
force (f), to verify the lateral ductility of the structure and the load-bearing pivot pin. If the hook is not
symmetrical due to the locking mechanism or the method of securing the pivot pin, both sides shall be tested,
using different hooks for each test side.

The hook shall be supported so that it is held in a fixed position with the eye or clevis of the latch at the bottom
of a pendulum. The eye or clevis shall be impacted by a mass attached to the end of the pendulum such that
the impact occurs in the direction of opening of the latch. The test shall be carried out in accordance with
either method a) or method b) as follows:
a) The pendulum shall be released from an angle of 60° to the vertical and the mass attached to the
pendulum shall be greater than or equal to the mass of the hook. The effective pendulum length shall be
1 m.
b) A suitable combination of test mass, pendulum length and release angle, having an equivalent impact
energy greater than or equal to method a) shall be used. The corresponding impact velocity shall be at
least 1,5 m/s.
Prior to a series of tests on any hook, grease shall be applied to the surface of the lock where it bears onto the
latch. Prior to each test the latch shall be opened and closed manually.
Five tests shall be carried out on each of three hooks of either eye or clevis type, at each size in the range. No
hook shall open in any test. Tests shall be repeated for any variation in latch or locking device design, or
method of manufacture.
