1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the following hand powered lifting equipment defined in clause 3: − Hand chain blocks; − Lever hoists; − Jaw winches; − Hand powered trolleys supporting lifting machines; − Drum winches; − Pulley blocks and deflection pulley. The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4. This European Standard does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. This standard does not specify the additional requirements for: − use in ambient temperature outside the range of - 10°C to + 50°C, − hand powered lifting equipment in direct contact with food stuffs or pharmaceuticals requiring a high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons; − hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials (e.g. explosives, hot molten masses, radiating materials); − hazards caused by operation in an explosive atmosphere. This European Standard is applicable to hand powered lifting equipment, which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard. 2 Normative references !The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5 Safety requirements and/or measures !The lifting equipment shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the lifting equipment shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this European Standard." 5.1 Hand chain blocks 5.1.1 Combined units The trolley of a combined trolley and hand chain block shall be in accordance with 5.4. 5.1.2 Mechanical strength 5.1.2.1 The mechanical strength shall be checked by an appropriate calculation method. Hand chain blocks shall have a coefficient of utilisation (safety coefficient) of at least 4: 1. 5.1.2.2 Hand chain blocks shall be designed to withstand 1 500 cycles with 110% of the rated capacity with no failure or replacement of parts, no resting time, except for lubrication, a lifting path of the load chain of at least 300 mm per cycle in order to get at least a complete revolution of the load chain wheel. 5.1.3 Braking Hand chain blocks shall have an automatic braking function during the lifting and lowering operation. The braking function shall be automatic when the operating force ceases, whether the motion is lifting or lowering. The braking device shall allow a regular descent under operator control whatever the position of the load. The brakes shall not contain asbestos. 5.1.4 Springs !The fracture of a spring shall not lead to a failure of safety elements except the springs used for load hook safety latches." This can be fulfilled by incorporation of a single guided pressure spring or by using several springs. Guided pressure springs shall have a distance between the coils of less than or equal to the wire diameter. When using several springs, in the case of the failure of one spring, the remaining spring(s) shall ensure that the retention is maintained. 5.1.5 Operating elements Hand chains shall be secured against unintentional disconnection from the hand chain wheel. 5.1.6 Operating effort To lift the rated capacity the operating effort of each operator shall not exceed 55 daN on the hand chain. SIST EN 13157:2004+A1:2009

To avoid overloading, the operating effort of each operator to lift the rated capacity shall be between the following values:
a) rated capacity ≤ 1 000 kg: b) 1 000 kg < rated capacity< 5 000 kg: c) 5 000 kg ≤ rated capacity: 20 daN up to 55 daN on the hand chain 40 daN up to 55 daN on the hand chain 45 daN up to 55 daN on the hand chain If the operating effort is beneath 20 daN at rated capacity the hand chain block shall be equipped with an overload protection system, against overloading caused by excessive operating effort on the hand chain. The overload system shall be independent from the braking device and shall operate ˜in a way™ that the lowering function is maintained and that the load remains under control. The triggering shall not lead to sudden release of the hand chain. 5.1.7 Guarding cover Accessible parts of the hand chain block shall have no sharp edges, no sharp angles, and no rough surfaces likely to cause injury. Gearing shall be guarded to prevent accidental ingress of parts of the body. 5.1.8 Hooks Hooks shall be fitted with safety latches to prevent unintentional detachment. The top hook shall be capable of swivelling for correct positioning Load hooks used as lifting medium, which are not manufactured in accordance with a recognised standard shall not show permanent deformation at a static load of 2-times the rated capacity. At a static load of 4-times the rated capacity, the hook shall be allowed to bend however the load shall remain held safely. This shall be ensured by selecting the appropriate materials and by the heat treatment. NOTE Standards for hooks are listed in annex A 5.1.9 Chain wheel A chain guide shall be provided to prevent the hand chain and the load chain from jumping off of the chain wheels. The selection criteria and the technical requirements shall be in accordance with EN 818-7. Load chain wheels shall be made in one piece. 5.1.10 Link chain The coefficient of utilisation shall be at least 4 for welded load bearing calibrated link chains; − Load chains shall be in accordance with EN 818-7, for fine tolerance short link chains (grade T) Hand chains shall have no sharpness around the welds. The connecting links of the hand chain shall resist without permanent deformation a force of at least 120 daN. SIST EN 13157:2004+A1:2009

- 10°C to + 50°C unless another temperature range is agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 5.1.13 Safety devices The braking system and the overload protection system shall only be able to be removed, modified replaced, interfered or neutralised by the use of tools. 5.1.14 Handling, installation and fastening The requirement for safe handle of chain blocks is fulfilled: − If handles, hooks, or other means for slinging is provided or; − If the design of the chain blocks provides hand gripping points for manual handling. 5.2 Lever hoists 5.2.1 Combined units The trolley of a combined trolley and lever hoist shall be in accordance with 5.4. 5.2.2 Mechanical strength 5.2.2.1 The mechanical strength shall be checked by an appropriate calculation method. Lever hoists shall have a coefficient of utilisation (safety coefficient) of at least 4 : 1. 5.2.2.2 The lever hoist shall be designed to withstand 1 500 cycles with 110% of the rated capacity with no failure, no replacement of parts, no resting time, except for lubrication, a lifting path of the lifting medium of at least 300 mm per cycle in order to get at least a complete revolution of the load chain wheel or drum. 5.2.3 Braking Lever hoists shall have an automatic braking function during the lifting and lowering operation. The braking function shall be automatic when the operating force ceases, whether the motion is lifting or lowering. The braking device shall allow a regular descent automatically controlled whatever the position of the load. The brakes shall not contain asbestos. SIST EN 13157:2004+A1:2009

20 daN up to 55 daN on the lever
b) 1 000 kg < rated capacity< 5 000 kg:
40 daN up to 55 daN on the lever c) 5 000 kg ≤ rated capacity:
45 daN up to 55 daN on the lever
If the operating effort is beneath 20 daN at rated capacity the lever hoist shall be equipped with an overload protection system, against overloading caused by excessive operating effort on the levers. The overload system shall be independent from the braking device and shall operate ˜in a way™ that the lowering function is maintained and that the load remains under control. The triggering shall not lead to sudden release of the lever. SIST EN 13157:2004+A1:2009
