Full title and description

DIN 582:2024-05 — Lifting eye nuts (German title: Ringmuttern). This DIN standard specifies the requirements, dimensions, marking and correct use of lifting eye nuts (ring nuts) made of steel and stainless steel for use as removable or fixed lifting points and as part of slings or machine attachment points.

Abstract

Defines material, design and marking requirements for forged and similar lifting eye nuts; requirements for proof testing, identification and marking; guidance on intended use and safety (including a mandatory CE-marking context within the EU under the Machinery Directive). The edition provides normative requirements and an informative annex (Annex B) with guidance for implementing legal requirements current at the time of publication.

Scope

This standard applies to lifting eye nuts (ring nuts) made of steel and stainless steel that are intended to be used as lifting points — either as removable rated nuts or as fixed attachment points on machinery and equipment. It sets out mechanical and dimensional requirements, marking and labelling, proof-test and traceability expectations, and gives information on correct installation and use in hoisting operations; it also notes the requirement for CE marking for mobile lifting equipment under the European Machinery Directive. Rated use is stated for the temperature range −20 °C to +200 °C without reduction of load capacity.

Key topics and requirements

• Material and manufacture: specifications for steel and stainless-steel constructions (forged designs commonly specified).
• Dimensions and thread sizes: metric thread sizes (M6 … larger sizes) and dimensional tables for common nominal sizes.
• Marking and identification: mandatory marking of working load limit, nominal diameter, quality grade, batch/traceability and supplier identification.
• Testing and proof load: requirements for proof testing and minimum breaking force factors / safety factors; manufacturers expected to provide test certificates on request.
• Usage limits and instructions: installation guidance, prohibition/limitations on angled lifting for some designs, inspection and maintenance instructions; operating temperature range −20 °C to +200 °C.
• Legal / conformity note: as mobile lifting attachments, certain items require CE marking under EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC; Annex B gives implementation guidance.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of machinery and equipment, lifting and rigging suppliers, OEMs, maintenance and safety engineers, procurement specialists and inspection bodies. Common applications include lifting points on motors, gearboxes, machine housings, structural assemblies, transport fixtures and sling assemblies where a rated removable or fixed lifting attachment is required. Industry users include machine builders, heavy equipment manufacturers, shipbuilding, energy, and general industrial maintenance.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced alongside DIN 582 include: DIN 580 (lifting eye bolts / ring bolts), the EN 1677 series (safety requirements for sling components / forged lifting components) and international/ISO standards for lifting attachments and eye-bolts (e.g., ISO 3266 and other fastener standards). These related documents cover complementary items such as eyebolts, hooks and sling component testing and marking.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN 582:2024-05 is the DIN standard that specifies requirements for lifting eye nuts (ring nuts) made of steel and stainless steel — covering materials, dimensions, marking, testing and guidance for correct use.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers mechanical and dimensional requirements, marking and identification, proof-testing expectations, installation/usage guidance (including temperature limits) and notes on conformity with EU Machinery Directive requirements for mobile lifting attachments. Annex B provides guidance on implementing legal requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine builders, lifting and rigging component manufacturers, procurement and quality teams, maintenance and safety inspectors, and certification/inspection bodies that specify, supply or verify rated lifting points.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — the 2024-05 edition (published 1 May 2024) is the latest published edition and supersedes earlier editions such as DIN 582:2018-04.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: DIN 582 focuses on lifting eye nuts specifically; related DIN/EN/ISO documents (for example DIN 580 for eye bolts and EN/ISO documents for lifting components) form the broader body of standards for lifting attachments and sling components. Users should consult the related EN/ISO standards for complementary requirements on hooks, chains and slings.
