15.2 SCOPE

This section of the code defines the correct selection, in-service inspection, usage and storage of wire rope slings.

The scope of this section has been extended to include slings rated by the uniform load and trigonometric methods, which are excluded from some national standards, i.e. in Europe only the uniform load method is used. It also includes endless slings, which were excluded from older standards. The reason for this is that all may be found service.
