Full title and description
ISO 3266:2010 — Forged steel eyebolts grade 4 for general lifting purposes. This International Standard specifies general characteristics, performance and critical dimensions necessary for interchangeability and compatibility of forged one‑piece steel eyebolts (grade 4) used for axial and inclined lifting operations.
Abstract
ISO 3266:2010 defines dimensions of eyebolts to permit direct connection with shackles (as defined in ISO 2415) and, where applicable, with sling hooks of similar working load limit. It covers significant hazards, tests, mechanical properties, marking and information for use for forged steel eyebolts grade 4 intended for use in the temperature range −20 °C to 200 °C. The standard does not apply to eyebolts that are not forged in one piece or to eyebolts manufactured before the publication date of this International Standard.
General information
- Status: Published (International Standard).
- Publication date: May 2010 (ISO 3266:2010, Edition 2).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 53.020.30 (Lifting equipment).
- Edition / version: Edition 2 (2010); Amendment ISO 3266:2010/Amd 1:2015 published subsequently.

Scope
Specifies the general characteristics, performance and critical dimensions necessary for interchangeability and compatibility of forged steel eyebolts grade 4 for general lifting purposes, intended for axial and inclined loading. The standard sets eye dimensions to allow direct connection with shackles of equivalent working load limit and permits designs with larger eyes for direct connection with sling hooks of similar working load limit. It applies to eyebolts forged in one piece and is applicable over the temperature range −20 °C to 200 °C; it excludes eyebolts not forged in one piece and those manufactured prior to publication.
Key topics and requirements
- Dimensional requirements and tolerances for interchangeability with shackles (relationship to ISO 2415).
- Performance requirements for axial and inclined loading, including rated working load limits and recommended usage conditions.
- Material, heat treatment and hardness criteria for forged steel eyebolts grade 4.
- Mechanical property verifications, type and manufacturing tests, and acceptance criteria.
- Workmanship, marking (identification and traceability) and manufacturer’s declaration of conformity.
- Information for safe use, including warnings, limitations (temperature range −20 °C to 200 °C) and guidance on selection, care and inspection.
- Coverage of significant hazards and hazardous situations relevant to eyebolts grade 4.
Typical use and users
Used by lifting equipment manufacturers, rigging and lifting engineers, purchasers and procurement teams, inspection and testing organizations, safety officers, and conformity assessment bodies. Typical applications include general lifting and material‑handling operations where forged one‑piece eyebolts are required for direct connection to shackles or hooks in industrial, construction and transport sectors.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 3266:2010 is an International Standard specifying requirements for forged steel eyebolts grade 4 used for general lifting purposes, covering dimensions, performance, tests and marking for one‑piece forged eyebolts.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers critical dimensions (to ensure interchangeability with shackles), material and heat‑treatment requirements, hardness and mechanical property tests, inspection and marking, manufacturer’s declaration and information for safe use; it is applicable for use between −20 °C and 200 °C and addresses significant hazards associated with these eyebolts.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers of eyebolts and lifting accessories, rigging and lifting engineers, purchasers, testing and inspection bodies, safety managers and regulatory/conformity assessors in industries that perform lifting operations.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 3266:2010 is the second edition (published 2010) and superseded ISO 3266:1984; an amendment (ISO 3266:2010/Amd 1:2015) was published in 2015. Users should check national adoption status and any later revisions or withdrawals before relying on the standard for procurement or certification.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is closely linked to other lifting‑equipment standards (for example ISO 2415 for shackles) and is frequently published/adopted regionally as EN ISO/BS EN versions; it sits within ISO/TC 111 committee work on lifting equipment.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Eyebolts, forged steel, grade 4, lifting, shackles, working load limit, dimensions, mechanical tests, marking.
