BS EN 818-2:1996+A1:2008EN 818-2:1996+A1:2008 (E)4 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming with the essential safety requirements o
25、f the MachineryDirective. This Directive stipulates thatwhere chainwith welded links is used for lifting accessories it is to be of short linktype and for the purposes of this standard this is chain having a ratio of nominal pitch to nominal size of 3:1. The extent to which hazards are covered is in
26、dicated in the scope of this Part of EN 818. In addition, liftingequipment shall comply as appropriate with ! EN ISO 12100“ for hazards which are not covered by thisstandard. Annex C gives a designation system for recording the identifying features of grade 8 short link chain. Since this system is n
27、ot widely used it has been included in this first edition of this standard as an informative annex,however, should its use become more generally accepted then the status of the information would need to bereviewed. ! This standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. When provisions of th
28、is type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for equipment that have been designed and build according to the provisions of this type C standard.“BS EN 818-2:1

This part of EN 818 specifies the requirements related to safety for short link chains, grade 8, of mediumtolerance for use in chain slings accor ding to ! EN 818-4:1996+A1“ and for general lifting purposes.“They are electrically welded round steel sho
30、rt link chains, heat treated and tested and complying with the general conditions of acceptance in ! EN 818-1:1996+A1“ . The range of nominal sizes of chain covered by this Part of EN 818 is from 4 mmto 45 mm. The hazards covered by this Part of EN 818 are identified in clause 4. The bases for calcu
31、lation of tabulated values for dimensions, working load limits and mechanical propertiesare given in annex A. Annex B gives information on weight/metre of chain. Annex C gives an example of a designation system forchains. 2 NormativereferencesThis European Standard incorporates bydated or undated re

In order to provide the necessary strength and durabilityof lifting accessories this Partof EN 818 lays downrequirements for the design, selection ofmaterials of construction and testing to ensure that specified levels of performance are met. Fatigue fail

Since failure can be caused bythe incorrect choice of grade and specification of lifting accessories this Part ofEN 818 also gives the require
