IS/ISO 4310 : 2009 : Cranes Test Code and Procedures

(Superseding IS 14470 : 1997)

Reaffirmed 2019

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 4310 : 2009 ‘Cranes — Test code and procedures’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Cranes, Lifting Chains and Related Equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

This standard supersedes IS 14470 : 1997 ‘Cranes — Test code and procedures’. After the publication of this standard IS 14470 : 1997 shall be treated as withdrawn.

This standard specifies tests, inspections and procedures for verifying the conformance of a crane with its operational specifications and capability to lift rated loads. It is applicable to the types of cranes designated in ISO 4306-1 : 2007 ‘Cranes — Vocabulary — Part 1: General’.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
