This European Standard specifies requirements for forged steel Dee and bow shackles of grade 6 for general lifting purposes in a range of working load limits 0,5 t to 25 t maximum. This standard applies only to those shackles with threaded pins. Annex A gives information on the safe use of shackles, annex B gives information on types of pins, and annex C gives an example of a designation system for forged steel shackles. The hazards covered are identified in clause 4.
