Standards

This standard specifies a test method for determining the acceptance limits of surface discontinuities detected by liquid penetrant inspection, when such an inspection procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser. It applies to all steel castings; whatever casting process is used.

This standard specifies the testing conditions and the acceptance standard for ultrasonic acceptance tests for the components and types of test covered in table 1, columns 1 to 6.  Unless otherwise agreed, this standard shall be applied when the product standards require mandatory ultrasonic tests or when the ordered optional tests are made mandatory (See ISO 1005-1, ISO 1005-3 and ISO 1005-6) ISO 1005-6, specifies ultrasonic acceptance tests are mandatory for all wheels of testing category B, but optional for all wheels of testing category A. According to ISO 1005-1 and ISO 1005-3, ultrasonic acceptance tests on tyres and axles are optional in every case.

This standard specifies general rules for appropriate implementation of radiographic inspection and stresses the technical specifications to be defined for agreement on discontinuity acceptance criteria by this technique. It applies to aluminum castings.

 This standard specifies a method for liquid penetrant inspection of discontinuities rising to the surface of aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy products and castings. It also defines severity levels as a function of the nature and number of discontinuities present. This standard applies to all aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy castings, whatever their grade and the casting procedure used to produce them.

This standard specifies a visual method for assessing the porosity of the machined surface of aluminium alloy castings. This method cannot be used for assessing porosity present on radiograms.

 This standard specifies the requirements, method of rating and testing of single-, two-, three-, and four-branch chain slings assembled by methods other than welding, using grade T (8) chain conforming to ISO 1834 and ISO 3076, together with the appropriate range of components.  This standard does not apply to chain slings assembled by welding (see ISO 4778), to slings designed to have branches of unequal nominal reach, to endless slings, or to slings designed for special applications.

This standard applies to the construction installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of jacks; power operated cranes, monorails and crane run-ways; power operated and manually operated derricks and hoists; lifting devices, hooks and slings; and cableways.  This standard does not apply to track and automotive jacks, railway or automobile wrecking cranes, shipboard cranes, shipboard cargo – handling equipment, well-drilling derricks, ship hoists, mines hoists, truck body hoists, car or barge pullers, conveyors, excavating equipment, nor to equipment coming within the scope of the following American National Standards Committee: A10, A17, A90, A92, A120, B20, B56 and B77.

his standard applies to the construction, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of jacks; power operated cranes, monorails and crane run-ways; power operated and manually operated derricks and hoists; lifting devices, hooks and slings; and cableways. This standard does not apply to track and automotive jacks, railway or automobile wrecking cranes, shipboard cranes, shipboard cargo – handling equipment, well-drilling derricks, ship hoists, mines hoists, truck body hoists, car or barge pullers, conveyors, excavating equipment, nor to equipment coming within the scope of the following American National Standards Committee: A10, A17, A90, A92, A120, B20, B56 and B77.

This standard applies to the construction, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of jacks; power operated cranes, monorails and crane run-ways; power operated and manually operated derricks and hoists; lifting devices, hooks and slings; and cableways.  This standard does not apply to track and automotive jacks, railway or automobile wrecking cranes, shipboard cranes, shipboard cargo – handling equipment, well-drilling derricks, ship hoists, mines hoists, truck body hoists, car or barge pullers, conveyors, excavating equipment, nor to equipment coming within the scope of the following American National Standards Committee: A10, A17, A90, A92, A120, B20, B56 and B77.

The purpose of this Standard is to provide criteria for the safe erection, use, and inspection of access scaffold (as covered in CSA S269.2 and engineered systems) and for the training of erectors and users of such equipment.

1.2 Subjects addressed

This Standard applies to the erection, use, and inspection of access scaffold that is

a) supported on a surface;

b) hung from multiple points, but is not capable of moving vertically or horizontally; or

c) mounted on wheels.

This Standard addresses key hazards, including fall hazards, structural instability, platform failures, and material handling problems.

Note: In this Standard, the term erection refers to the assembling, altering, or dismantling of a scaffold.

While this Standard applies to scaffold as defined in Clause 3, this Standard is not limited to scaffold used solely for the purpose of construction, maintenance, or repair operations.

1.3 Equipment not covered

This Standard does not apply to the following:

a) falsework and formwork for construction purposes, as covered in CSA S269.1;

b) suspended access equipment, as covered in CSA Z91 and CAN/CSA-Z271;

c) elevating work platforms, as covered in CAN/CSA-B354.6, CAN/CSA-B354.7, and CAN/CSA-B354.8;

d) manual or powered mast-climbing work platforms, such as a pump jack scaffold or equipment covered in CSA B354.9, CSA B354.10, and CSA B354.11;

e) centre-pole scaffolds; and

f) appliances or accessories attached to scaffold.

1.4 Terminology

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and can is used to express possibility or capability.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.5 Measurement

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
