PREFACE
This American National Standard, Safety Standard for Cable Cars, Cranes, Winches, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks and Slings, has been developed under
procedures accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This Standard had its beginnings in December 1916 when an eight-page
document was published. The Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, developed by the ASME Industrial Worker Protection Committee, was presented at
the ASME annual meeting.
Between 1920 and 1925, meetings and discussions on crane, derrick and hoist safety were held involving the
ASME Safety Code Correlative Committee, Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engineers, American Museum of Safety,
the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC) [later modified to the American Standards Association (ASA), then the
U.S. Standards Institute (USASI) and finally to ANSI], the New Jersey State Department of Labor, the Department of
Pennsylvania State Labor and Industry and the Locomotive Crane Manufacturers Association. On June 11, 1925, the AESC approved the
recommendation of the ASME Safety Code Correlative Committee and authorized the project with the U.S. Department of the Navy, the Bureau of Docks
and Shipyards, and ASME as sponsors.
In March 1926, invitations were sent to 50 organizations to appoint representatives to a sectional committee. The call for the organization of this
Sectional Committee was sent on October 2, 1926 and the committee was organized on November 4, 1926, with 57 members representing 29
national organizations. Beginning June 1, 1927, and using as a basis the eight-page code published by ASME in 1916, the Sectional Committee
developed the "Safety Code for Cranes, Derricks and Hoists." Early drafts of this safety code included cat requirements, but due to input and comments
on those drafts, the Sectional Committee decided in 1938 to convert the cat requirements into a separate code. In January 1943, ASA B30.2-1943 was
published. addressing a multitude of equipment types and in August 1943, ASA B30.1-1943 was published addressing only cats. Both documents were
reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as safety standards.
Due to changes in design, advances in techniques, and general worker and industry interest in safety, the Sectional Committee, under the joint
sponsorship of ASME and the Bureau of Shipyards and Docks (now the Engineering Command of Naval Facilities) was reorganized on January 31,
1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. The new Committee changed the format of ASA B30.2-1943 so that the multitude of
equipment types it addressed could be published in separate volumes that could fully cover the construction, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance,
and operation of each type. of equipment that was included in the scope of ISA B30.2.
This format change resulted in the initial publication of B30.3, B30.5, B30.6, B30.11, and B30.16 being designated as revisions of B30.2 and the remainder
of the B30 volumes being published as volumes totally new. ASA changed its name to USASI in 1966 and ANSI in 1969, resulting in B30 volumes from
1943 to 1968 being designated as ASA B30, USAS B30, or ANSI B30, depending on their publication date.
In 1982, the Committee was reorganized as the Accredited Organization Committee, operating under procedures developed by ASME and accredited
by ANSI. This standard presents a coordinated set of rules that can serve as guidance for government and other regulatory bodies and
municipal authorities responsible for the protection and inspection of equipment that falls within their scope. The suggestions aimed at
accident prevention are given as mandatory and advisory provisions; Employers may require compliance with
both types to their employees. In case of practical difficulties, new developments or unnecessary difficulties, the administrative or regulatory authority
may grant variations from the literal requirements or permit the use of other devices or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that
In this way an equivalent degree of protection is obtained. insured. To ensure uniform application and interpretation of this Standard, it is urged
administrative or regulatory authorities to consult Committee B30, in accordance with the format described in Section IX of the Introduction,
before making decisions on disputed points.
Safety codes and standards are intended to improve public safety. The revisions are the result of the committee's consideration of factors such as
technological advances, new data, and changing environmental and industry needs. The reviews do not
They imply that previous editions were inadequate.
The first edition of ASME B30.9 was published in 1971; New editions were published in 1984, 1990, 1996, 2003, 2006 and 2014.
The 2018 edition contained extensive revisions, including the use of the term load handling to recognize that load could move vertically
or horizontally and the elimination of rated load. tables and addressed the competence of staff and translations. This 2021
edition contains guidance on inspecting stored slings, rigger responsibilities, and an entire chapter dedicated to high-performance round
slings.
This edition of volume B30.9 was approved by Committee B30 and by ASME, and was approved by ANSI and
designated as a US national standard on March 23, 2021.
