Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of
conforming with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA
regulations.
These chains are intended for use in serial hoists. The multiple pitch is fine toleranced.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this European Standard. In
addition, lifting equipment should conform as appropriate to EN 292 for hazards which are not
covered by this standard.
Annex A is normative and gives the bases for the calculation of the dimensions and the mechanical

properties of hoist chains.
Annex B is normative and gives selection criteria for the nominal size of hoist chains, Grade T, types T,
DAT and DT for serial hoists.
Annex C is informative and gives a designation system for recording the identifying features of fine
tolerance short link chain Grade T. Since this system is not 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 be reviewed.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements related to safety for hoist chain, Grade T (type T
quenched and tempered and types DAT and DT case hardened), for use in serial chain hoists manual
and power driven.
Type DAT and type DT hoist chains possess surface hardnesses greater than core hardness and are
used for power driven chain hoists to offer greater resistance to wear.
Type DT hoist chain differs from DAT hoist chain in having higher surface hardness and/or greater case
depth to optimise wear resistance.
The standard is applicable to electrically welded round steel short link hoist chains conforming to
EN 818-1.
The range of nominal size of hoist chains covered by this European Standard is from 4 mm to 22 mm.
The hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4.
