1. A specific requirement is denoted by “shall”

2. A good practice by “should”,

3. Permission by “may”,

4. An expectation by “will”.

The requirements in this document use the following identification convention:

• Overhead cranes, winches, and wire rope hoists shall have a dual hoist braking system installed per the NASA STD 8719.9B Sections 5.4 and 7.4. Chain hoists typically do not have dual brakes as standard equipment unless included in the manufacturer’s design when specifically requested by the user. A single hoist motor holding brake in combination with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) dynamic braking system is an acceptable dual braking system.

• Label and tag LDE the NASA STD 8719.9B, Section 4.9 requirements with no more than it's Working Load Limit (WLL) as determined by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or its current certified WLL if that value is lower than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) rated WLL.

• Perform an initial one-time proof load test per the following NASA STD 8719.9B, Section 4.5 requirements:

• 1.25X WLL for overhead cranes.

• 1.25X WLL for mobile aerial platforms that will be used near critical hardware.

• 1X WLL for mobile cranes and derricks (.95X to 1X is acceptable).

• 1.25X WLL for below-the-hook (BTH) lifting devices.

• Slings (i.e., wire rope, synthetics, chain, etc.,) should only be proof load tested beyond its WLL with OEM approval.

• 2X WLL for rigging hardware items used for critical lifts (i.e., shackles. hoist rings. turnbuckles, etc.,).

• Perform a 1X WLL load test every four years after the initial proof test on all

LDE.

• In addition to visual inspection, perform a post load test non-destructive test

(NDT) inspection (e.g., radiographic, ultra-sonic, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, etc.) on crane hooks and critical welds. A critical weld is one in which a failure would result in a failure of the hardware. The inspections will be performed by an American Society of Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) or equivalently trained inspector."
