ABSTRACT
This technical instruction applies to European market and formally defines the product certifications which are
required for the different parts of a panels lifting system.
ISSUE
In order to standardize the topic and Company level, rather than at Group level, Permasteelisa SpA decided to
create this document and track how to manage the certifications requests for lifting systems.
NOTE
The following table summarizes the elements that might be part of a lifting system and states the required
certification for their use in the European market.

Sketch Element Certification

Lifting beam Machinery Directive,
2006/42/EC

Lifting eyebolts Machinery Directive,

2006/42/EC

Lifting blocks and plates or Machinery Directive,

other temporary elements 2006/42/EC
designed on project
specification

Hook brackets attached to Construction products

mullions regulation, 305/2011 with
reference to curtain wall

Note: certifications for parts attached to panels are obtained
through PMU and resulting CE certification for the whole
curtain wall system.

TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION
Alloy steel bow shackles with Screw pin shackles
screw pin EN 13889

Note: only EN 13889 certifies that screw pin shackles are

suitable for both static and dynamic loads; shackles certified
according to different regulations cannot be used for lifting
operations.

Additional lifting accessories: Machinery Directive,

chains, belts, straps, slings, 2006/42/EC
hooks

ACTION
PDM, PE
Define the elements of the lifting system: designed on purpose or chosen from technical catalog (in this case,
make sure their available certification corresponds to the required one).
Explicit the working load limit (WLL), the required certification and the part surface color (preferable: yellow,
orange) in the fabrication drawing of each designed element; e.g.:

In case there is no fabrication drawing for the part, WLL, certification and additional characteristics shall be
indicated in the material request (in the “Description” field).
In case of extra-European market, ask the Client’s consultant to clarify the necessary certifications in the
reference market

BUYER
Submit the elements drawings to suppliers and issue a purchase order line for the requests of certificates.
Make sure the supplier delivers the proper certificates in the language of the project country and, once received,
forward them to the project team so that they can be inserted in the dedicated project folder.

SITE MANAGER
Before using the lifting system elements delivered to site verify they are properly marked according to the
corresponding certifications and make sure their certificates are available; in case of missing marking or
certificate the element shall be put in quarantine and cannot be used before receiving it.
