Method of attachment and fusion of the ring chain must be selected to provide an adequate level of safety of mechanisms and lifting machines as a whole. Minimum use coefficient (the safety factor) for each individual legged sling must not be less than 4, provided that the maximum angle between the multilegged slings is no more than 90 °. Design load for each of the multilegged slings must be subject to the condition that that the cargo is held by three or fewer.
When using textile ropes and webbings in construction the minimal use factor of textile ropes and webbings for each string (the safety factor) must be equal to 7 provided the maximum angle between multilegged slings is be not more than 90°.
Splicing of textile ropes and webbings must not lead to reduction of the given minimal coefficient for use of each separate multilegged sling.

6. Devices for controlling movements must act in such a way that load-lifting machines on which they are installed are kept safe.
Load-lifting machines must be designed and constructed or fitted with special devices in such a way that the amplitude of movement of its components is kept within the specified limits. The operation of such devices must, where appropriate, be preceded by a warning.
Where several fixed or rail-mounted machines can be maneuvered simultaneously in the same place, with risks of collision, such machinery must be designed and constructed in such a way as to make it possible to fit systems enabling these risks to be avoided.
Load-lifting machines must be designed and constructed in such a way that the loads cannot creep dangerously or fall freely and unexpectedly, even in the event of partial or total failure of the power supply or when the operator stops operating the machine.
It must not be possible, under normal operating conditions, to lower the load solely by friction brake, except in the case of machinery whose function requires it to operate in that way.
Holding devices must be designed and constructed in such a way that inadvertent dropping of the loads is avoided.

7. The operating position of machinery must be located in such a way as to ensure the widest possible view of trajectories of the moving parts, in order to avoid possible collisions with persons, equipment or other machines which might be maneuvering at the same time and liable to constitute a hazard.
Load-lifting machines with guided loads must be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent persons from being injured by movement of the load, the carrier or the counterweights, if any. To meet this requirement the access to the area of cargo travel under normal operating conditions should be excluded.
If during inspection or maintenance, there is a risk of crushing between a fixed element and transport platform of human body parts being below or above this platform, it is necessary to provide sufficient space for shelter or installation of mechanical devices blocking the process of moving the transport platform.

8. The movement of the carrier of machinery serving the fixed landings must be rigidly guided to and at the landings. Scissor systems are also regarded as rigid guidance
Where persons have access to the carrier, the machinery must be designed and constructed in such a way as to ensure that the carrier remains stationary during access, in particular while it is being loaded or unloaded.
The machinery must be designed and constructed in such a way as to ensure that the difference in level between the carrier and the landing being served does not create a risk of tripping or falling.

9. Where there is a risk that loads may fall from the carrier, load-lifting machines must be designed and constructed to exclude a possibility of such risk.

10. Risks due to contact of persons at landings (loading/unloading) with the moving carrier or other moving parts must be prevented.
Where there is a risk due to persons falling into the travel zone when the carrier is not present at the landings, guards must be fitted in order to prevent this risk. Such guards must not open in the direction of the travel zone. They must be fitted with an interlocking device controlled by the position of the carrier that prevents hazardous movements of the carrier until the guards are closed and locked and hazardous opening of a guard until the carrier has stopped at the corresponding (loading/unloading) landing.

11. To confirm load-lifting machines capacity for work they have to undergo periodically the static and dynamic tests with the coefficient equal to 1,25 (static tests) and 1,1 (dynamic tests). Methods of loading tests must be laid down in the Manuals on maintenance of load-lifting machines.
Newly-constructed load-lifting machines (jib cranes) must be additionally tested for general stability against rollover. Methods of tests must be laid down in the Manuals on maintenance of load-lifting machines.

12. Hold-to-run control devices must be used to control the movements of the machinery or its equipment. However, for partial or complete movements in which there is no risk of the load or the machinery colliding, the said devices may be replaced by control devices authorizing automatic stops at pre-selected positions without the operator holding a hold-to-run control device.
Rope carriers, tractors or tractor carriers must be held by counterweights or by a device allowing permanent control of the tension.

13. Each length of lifting chain, rope or webbing not forming part of an assembly must bear a mark or, where this is not possible, a plate or irremovable ring bearing the name and address of the manufacturer.
Chains, steel and textile ropes and webbings must have a certificate showing the following information:

- name and address of the manufacturer;
- description of the chain, steel and textile rope or tape rope which includes nominal size, construction, material from which it is made;
- test method used;
- minimal breaking (rupturing) load.

The form of this certificate is to be approved by the Commission of the Customs union.

14. All lifting accessories must show the identification of the material (where this information is needed for safe use) and the maximum working load.
In the case of lifting accessories on which marking is physically impossible, the above information must be displayed on a plate securely affixed to the accessory. The particulars must be legible and located in a place where they are not liable to disappear as a result of wear or jeopardize the strength of the accessory.

15. The maximum working load must be boldly marked on load-lifting machines and for jib cranes additionally on a plate with loading parameters, which must be affixed to the accessories.
Load-lifting machines intended for lifting goods only, equipped with a carrier which allows access to persons, must bear a clear and indelible warning prohibiting the lifting of persons. This warning must be visible at each place where access is possible to carriers and remained during the whole life cycle of machines.

16. Mechanisms for lifting machinery must be equipped with brakes normally closed types (except brake rotation mechanism, which can be normally open).
The accelerator and brake controls for the movement of machinery running on rails must be manual. However, the deadman’s control may be foot-operated.
Safety braking factor of a load lifting machine must be not lower than 1,5 taking into account group classification of mechanisms.
Hoist lifting equipment designed for lifting and transportation of dangerous goods must be equipped with two brakes, and the safety barking factors must be calculated based on provision of a prescribed safety.

17. Lifting bodies hoisting machines shall meet the requirements set to ensure safety and prevent spontaneous decoupling, fall or precipitation of the cargo during its lifting and transportation, including the failures of control systems. Cargo hooks, except hooks of special design, must be installed on thrust ball bearings.
Hook mounting on a sling should be excluded from any unauthorized disconnection from suspension during operation.
Each hook hoisting machine shall be equipped with a latch that prevents the arbitrary loss of sling, ring or hook eye from the pharynx during cargo lifting and transportation.

18. Electrical and control systems for lifting equipment must comply with the prescribed safety level and meet the requirements of the group classification of the mounted mechanisms. The control system must be, as a minimum, with a zero and current protection, to exclude a possibility of unauthorized launch of drive mechanisms, as well as a possibility of electric trauma for personnel.

19. Hydraulic lifting equipment must comply with the safety requirements to exclude damage to hydraulic components in contact with elements of metal structures and spontaneous sinking of cargo (jibs) in emergency situations.
Each hydraulic circuit must be protected from over-pressure by a relief valve, adjusted to work with nominal load equal to the nameplate capacity and sealed.

20. Lifting machines must be equipped with necessary safety limiters (for example, stops of working movements, necessary locking of cabin entrance, etc.) and indicators (for example, LED indication of voltage, display of weighting devices , sound signals for start of cargo lifting and its transportation, etc.). The list and number of necessary limiters and indicators must be selected on the basis of construction, degree of responsibility and provision of necessary safety level.

21. Control cabins must be constructed and installed to make control easy and not prevent visibility for front-end tool and cargo.
Direction of handle and level travel must correspond to the direction of mechanism travel.

22. Internal dimensions of the control cabin of lifting equipment must meet the requirements for ergonomics and safety requirements, which are established for this equipment.

23. Easily accessible moving parts of the hoisting machinery shall be covered with removable solid guards, allowing inspection and maintenance arrangements. Uninsulated live parts of electrical equipment for lifting equipment, located in places that do not exclude the possibility of touching them, must be protected.

24. Galleries, landings and stairs of the lifting machines must ensure the designed strength, and their dimensions must meet the established safety requirements.

25. Welded joints of calculated metal elements of the lifting equipment must ensure their safety.

26. Tracks (for lifting equipment, moving on the tracks) must be designed and constructed so that during operation (active and in idle states), and also other stages of the life cycle of load-lifting machines (assembly, testing, etc.) it maintains the declared strength, stiffness, stability, fatigue, wear – and corrosion resistance.
