Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming
with the essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
This Directive stipulates that where chain with welded links is used for lifting accessories it is to be of short link
type and for the purposes of this standard this is chain having a ratio of nominal pitch to nominal size of 3:1.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this Part of EN 818. In addition, lifting
equipment shall comply as appropriate with !EN ISO 12100" for hazards which are not covered by this
standard.
Annex C gives a designation system for recording the identifying features of grade 8 short link chain. Since
this system is not widely used it has been included in this first edition of this standard as an informative annex,
however, should its use become more generally accepted then the status of the information would need to be
reviewed.
!This standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for equipment
that have been designed and build according to the provisions of this type C standard."

1 Scope
!This part of EN 818 specifies the requirements related to safety for short link chains, grade 8, of medium
tolerance for use in chain slings according to !EN 818-4:1996+A1" and for general lifting purposes."
They are electrically welded round steel short link chains, heat treated and tested and complying with the
general conditions of acceptance in !EN 818-1:1996+A1".
The range of nominal sizes of chain covered by this Part of EN 818 is from 4 mm to 45 mm.
The hazards covered by this Part of EN 818 are identified in clause 4.
The bases for calculation of tabulated values for dimensions, working load limits and mechanical properties
are given in annex A.
Annex B gives information on weight/metre of chain.
Annex C gives an example of a designation system for chains.

4 Hazards
!Accidental release of a load, or release of a load due to" failure of lifting accessories such as slings or
their component parts puts at risk either directly or indirectly the !safety or health" or health of those
persons within the danger zone of lifting equipment.
In order to provide the necessary strength and durability of lifting accessories this Part of EN 818 lays down
requirements for the design, selection of materials of construction and testing to ensure that specified levels of
performance are met.
Fatigue failure has not been identified as a hazard when chain having the specified levels of performance
given in this Part of EN 818 is used in general lifting service.
Since failure can be caused by the incorrect choice of grade and specification of lifting accessories this Part of
EN 818 also gives the requirements for marking and the manufacturer's certificate.
Those aspects of safe use associated with good practice are given in !EN 818-6:2000+A1".
Table 1 contains !all those hazards", which require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as
being specific and significant for short link chain (medium tolerance) grade 8 for lifting purposes.

5.3 Materials and heat treatment
5.3.1 Quality of material
5.3.1.1 General
Within the limitations given in 5.3.1.2 to 5.3.1.4 it is the responsibility of the chain manufacturer to select the
type of steel to be used so that the finished chain, when suitably heat-treated meets the mechanical properties
specified in this Part of EN 818.
5.3.1.2 Type of steel
The steel used shall be produced by an electric process or by an oxygen blown process.
5.3.1.3 Deoxidation
The steel shall be fully killed, be stabilized against strain age embrittlement and have an austenitic grain size
of 5 or finer when tested in accordance with ISO 643.
5.3.1.4 Chemical composition
The steel shall contain alloying elements in sufficient quantities so that the finished chain, when heat treated in
accordance with 5.3.2, complies not only with the mechanical properties specified in this Part of EN 818 but
also possesses adequate low temperature ductility and toughness to provide resistance to impact loading.
The steel shall contain nickel and at least one of the other elements in the minimum percentages shown in
table 3.

Annex A
(informative)
Calculation of dimensions, working load limits and mechanical

properties
A.1 Dimensions and tolerances
A.1.1 In table 2 column 2 the tolerances on material diameters are based on:
a) + 4% of the nominal size of chain for nominal sizes less than 18 mm;
b) + 5% of the nominal size of chain for nominal sizes of 18 mm and over, values being rounded to
0,1 mm.
A.1.2 The bases for calculation of dimensions in table 2 columns 3 to 8 are as follows:
Maximum diameter at the weld ds max = 1,1 dn

Nominal pitch pn = 3 dn
Minimum pitch of chain pmin = 2,91 dn
Maximum pitch of chain pmax = 3,09 dn
Minimum internal width, away from the weld w1 = 1,3 dn
Maximum external width, over the weld w2 = 3,7 dn
Dimensions given in table 2 are full calculated values rounded to 0,1 mm for values up to 100 mm. Values
equal to or greater than 100 mm are rounded to 1 mm.
A.2 Working load limits and mechanical properties
A.2.1 General
The stresses used in the calculation of working load limits and mechanical properties in the formulae given in
A.2.2 to A.2.4 are mean stresses as follows:
2
1) Mean stress at the working load limit (WLL) = 200 N/mm ;
2
2) Mean stress at the manufacturing proof force (MPF) = 500 N/mm ;
2
3) Mean stress at the breaking force (BF min) = 800 N/mm .
A.2.2 Calculated values of working load limit (WLL)
!The calculated values for the working load limits are based on the following equation:"
2 t 1 t Q t 200 t d n2
WLL 4 in t
g t 1000

SS-EN
EN 818-2+A1:2008 (E)(E)

WLL 0,0320353 d n2 in t
where
WLL is expressed in tonnes, and

2
g = acceleration due to gravity (in m/s i.e. 9,806 65)
!The calculated values have been rounded down to the nearest lower value of the R40 series of preferred
numbers in accordance with ISO 497. These values are listed in Table 5 column 2."
A.2.3 Calculated values of manufacturing proof force (MPF)
The values of manufacturing proof force are based on the full calculated MPF values determined using the
following formula:
2 t 1 t Q t 500 t d n2
MPF 4 in kN
1000
MPF 0,7853982 d n2 in kN
The values given in table 5, column 3 have been rounded to 0,1 kN up to 100 kN. Values equal to or greater
than 100 kN, up to 1000 kN, are rounded to 1kN and values 1000 kN or greater rounded to 10kN.
A.2.4 Calculated values of minimum breaking force (BFmin)
The values of minimum breaking force are based on the full calculated BFmin values determined using the
following formula:
2 t 1 t Q t 800 t d n2
BFmin 4 in kN
1000
BFmin 1,2566371 d n2 in kN
The values given in table 5, column 4 have been rounded to 0,1 kN up to 100 kN. Values equal to or greater
than 100 kN, up to 1000 kN, are rounded to 1 kN and values 1000 kN or greater rounded to 10 kN.
A.2.5 Bend deflection (f)
The values of bend deflection have been calculated using the following formula:
f 0,8 t d n in mm
The values given in table 5 column 5 have been rounded to 0,1 mm up to 10 mm. Values greater than 10 mm
are rounded to 1 mm.

!Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of EU Directive 98/37/EC
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
