UDC 672.61-034.14 : 620.1 DEUTSCHE NORM January 1986 Calibrated and tested grade 3 round steel link chains Rundstahlketten; Giteklasse 3, lehrenhaltig, geprift ‘This standard, together with DIN 32891, June 1980 edition, supersedes DIN 766, July 1954 edition, In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker. In clause 5, this standard includes safety requirements within the Gerdtesicherheitsgesetz (Equipment Safety Lawl. Start of validity This standard is valid from 1st January 1986. ‘This standard has been prepared in cooperation with the Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften, Zentralstelle fir Unfallverhitung und Arbeitsmedizin (Federation of Industrial Employers’ Liability Insurance Associations, Central Office for Accident Prevention and Occupational Medicine), Bonn. Dimensions in mm, 1. Scope and field of application ‘This standard applies to calibrated and tested grade 3 round steel link chains and specifies their dimensions and mechanical properties. Chains as specified in this standard are used in all branches of industry. Before use it shall be checked whether the chain is test-stamped, DIN 5684 Part 1 to Part 3 shall apply with regard to chains for power driven lifting appliances Chains as specitied in DIN 32891 shall be used for sling chains conforming to DIN 696.
