Frequently Asked Questions
ISO/TC 96/SC 4 is a Subcommittee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Test methods" and is responsible for: Standardization of test methods and techniques to validate design features and safety requirements of cranes and accessories. This committee has published 7 standards.
ISO/TC 96/SC 4 develops ISO standards. The scope of work includes: Standardization of test methods and techniques to validate design features and safety requirements of cranes and accessories. Currently, there are 7 published standards from this subcommittee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
ISO 4310:2009 specifies tests, inspections and procedures for verifying the conformance of a crane with its operational specifications and capability to lift rated loads (see ISO 7363). ISO 4310:2009 is applicable to the types of cranes designated in ISO 4306-1, prior to first use following manufacture or after modification or repair of the load‑bearing structure or a component of an individual crane. Where rated loads are governed by stability, a test procedure and test load are specified that permit stability margins to be easily verified.

Specifies the tests and procedures to be followed in order to verify that a crane conforms to its operational specifications and is capable of lifting rated loads. Where rated loads are determined by stability, a test procedure and test load are specified that permit stability margins to be easily verified. Defines test procedures such as conformity tests, visual inspection and load lifting competence testing.
