Specifies requirements for chain or associated components used in the transport industry for developing a cargo restraining system and sets out a method for determining the strength of transport chain and its components.

This Standard specifies the requirements for chain and associated components used in the transport industry for developing cargo restraining systems and sets out (in Appendix A) a method for determining the strength of transport chain and its components.NOTE: Guidance on information to be supplied with enquiries and orders is given in Appendix B and the means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix C. Appendix D gives advice on the use of chain load restraint systems. Appendix E provides guidelines on care and maintenance of chain load restraint systems.
