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:

~ chain slings according to EN 818-4

~ steel wire rope slings according to prEN 13414-1

~ textile slings according to EN 1492-1, EN 1492-2

intended for lifting objects, materials or goods.

The hazards covered by this part of EN 1677 are identified in clause 4.

Annex A gives the bases for calculation of hook dimensions.

Annex B gives an example of a designation systems for hooks of Grade 8.

2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications.
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
latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in !EN 1677-1+A1:2008"
apply, together with the following.

3.1
self-locking hook
hook containing a locking mechanism, capable of being activated by the action of the load which, once
correctly closed and locked, can only be opened in the unloaded condition by de-activation of the locking
mechanism

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
also gives requirements for marking and the manufacturer's certificate.

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
specific and significant for forged steel self-locking hooks of grade 8.

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;
