Overview
EN ISO 3266:2010/A1:2015 is an internationally recognized standard specifying the requirements for forged steel eyebolts grade 4 for general lifting purposes. Developed jointly by CEN and ISO, this amendment ensures consistency, safety, and performance in the manufacturing and use of lifting eyebolts across industries. Eyebolts are critical components in material handling, lifting, and rigging systems, and this standard provides guidance on their type testing, strength, quality, and compliance.
Key Topics
Applications
