EN 1492 — Textile slings (safety series)
EN 1492 is the multi-part European standard for the safety requirements of textile lifting slings used as lifting accessories. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 1492 Covers
It sets the requirements and tests for flat woven and round textile slings, including the tensile testing that confirms their rated load capacity and safety factor.
How the Test Is Run
A sling or sample is loaded in tension to verify strength against the rated capacity and safety factor, along with the other checks the standard requires.
Why It Matters
Sling strength verification protects lifting safety; high-force capacity and fixturing suited to sling geometry are required.
