DIN 695 Standard Test for Chain Slings with Hook or Loop Fittings

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 695 testing. This standard specifies the design, working load limits and proof forces of single up to 6-rope chain slings with a nominal diameter of 45 to 4 mm, as well as parts such as main, end and intermediate links.

DIN 695 is a standard that specifies the requirements for grade 2 chain slings with hook or loop type attachments. Chain slings are widely used in industrial settings for lifting and transporting heavy loads, and the attachments at the ends of the chains are critical to keeping the slings operating safely and efficiently.

The standard applies to grade 6 chain slings with nominal dimensions from 32 mm to 31.500 mm and a maximum working load limit of up to 2 kg. The hangers are designed for use at temperatures between -40°C and +200°C.

The standard specifies requirements for various parameters, including:

• Chain Structure: This includes the requirements for the material, dimensions and tolerances of the chain links.
• Connector structure: This includes requirements for material, dimensions and tolerances of hook or loop fittings.
• Load Capacity: This includes requirements for the maximum working load limit of the chain sling, depending on its nominal size and construction.
• Test: This includes requirements for trial load testing used to verify the load capacity of the chain sling and ensure its safety and reliability.
• Marking and Documentation: This includes requirements for identification and documentation of the chain sling, including its manufacturer, class, nominal size and maximum working load limit.

Compliance with the DIN 695 standard is typically demonstrated through testing and certification conducted by an independent testing organization. Chain slings are considered suitable and compatible for use in industrial lifting and transport applications if they meet all the requirements of the standard and pass the required tests.
