<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)8.3 TESTING8.3.1Operational TestsAll new hoists shall be tested by the hoistmanufacturer. All modified or extensivelyrepaired hoists orhoists that have not been usedwithin the preceding 12 months shall be testedbefore being placed in service. All tests shall bedone by a qualified inspector or under thedirection ofthat inspector as detailed in thefollowing paragraphs.8.3.1.1 Electric- or Air-Powered Hoistsa. Check lifting <strong>and</strong> lowering (testing throughcomplete rated lift length is not required).b. Check operation ofbrakes.c. Determine the trip-setting oflimit devices bytests under no-load conditions. Conduct tests firstby h<strong>and</strong>, ifpractical, <strong>and</strong> then under slowest speedobtainable. Test with increasing speeds up tomaximum speed.8.3.1.2 H<strong>and</strong>-Chain-Operated Hoistsa. Check all functions ofthe hoist, includinglifting <strong>and</strong> lowering, with the hoist suspended inan unloaded state.b. After testing unloaded, apply a load ofatleast 50 Ib (23 kg) multiplied by the number ofload-supporting parts ofchain to the hoist tocheck proper load control.8.3.1.3 <strong>Manual</strong>-Lever-Operated Hoistsa. Check all functions ofthe hoist with thehoist suspended in an unloaded state.b. After testing unloaded, apply a load of atleast 100 Ib (46 kg) multiplied by the number ofload-supporting parts ofload line to the hoist tocheck proper load control.8.3.2Proof-Load TestTest anchorages or suspensions shall be approvedby a qualified person.8.3.2.1 Electric- or Air-Powered Hoistsa. The manufacturer shall dynamically test newhoists as specified in Section 8.3.1.1 ("Electric- orAir-Powered Hoists"), steps a. <strong>and</strong> b., with a testload ofat least 125 percent ofthe rated load. Ifthe manufacturer cannot test the hoist, the usershall benotified <strong>and</strong> the test shall be accomplishedat another location orjob site by a qualifiedinspector or under the direction ofthat inspector.b. A qualified inspector shall test hoists inwhich load suspension parts havebeen modified,replaced, or extensively repaired as specified inSection 8.3.1.1, steps a. <strong>and</strong> b. by or under thedirection ofa qualified inspector. <strong>and</strong> a record ofthe test should be made. A designated orauthorized person shall determine ifrepairs madeto a hoist are extensive, <strong>and</strong> require a rated loadtest, or routine maintenance <strong>and</strong> require only anoperational test. The applied test load shall not beless than 100 percent of the rated capacity of thehoist, or more than 125 percent ofthe ratedcapacity ofthe hoist unless otherwiserecommended by the manufacturer or a qualifiedperson. The replacement ofload chain <strong>and</strong> rope isspecifically excluded from this hoist test;however, a functional test ofthe hoist under anormal operating load should be made inaccordance with 8.3.1., "Operational Tests," priorto putting the hoist back in service.8.3.2.2 H<strong>and</strong>-Chain-Operated or<strong>Manual</strong>-Lever-Operated Hoistsa. The manufacturer shall dynamically test newhoists with a test load of at least 125 percent ofthe rated capacity. Ifthe manufacturer cannot testthe hoist, the user shall be notified <strong>and</strong> the testshall be accomplished at another location orjobsite by a qualified inspector or under the directionofthat inspector.b. Hoists in which load suspension parts havebeen modified, replaced, or extensively repairedshall be tested statically or dynamically by orunder the direction ofa qualified inspector, <strong>and</strong> arecord of the test should be kept. A designated orauthorized person shall determine ifrepairs madeto a hoist are extensive <strong>and</strong> require a rated loadtestor are routine maintenance <strong>and</strong> require only anoperational test. The applied test load shall not beless than 100 percent ofthe rated capacity ofthehoist or more than 125 percent ofthe ratedcapacity ofthe hoist, unless otherwiserecommended by the manufacturer or a qualifiedperson. The replacement ofload chain isspecifically excluded from this hoist load test;however, a functional test ofthe hoist should bemade in accordance with Section 8.3.1.2 or 8.3.1.3("H<strong>and</strong>-Chain-Operated Hoists" <strong>and</strong> "<strong>Manual</strong>lyLever-Operated Hoists," respectively), prior toputting the hoist back in service.8-13Chapter 8Hoists
