ISO 3874 (International Organization for Standardization)

ISO 3874 is a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization that specifies safety requirements and testing methods for wire rope hoists, which are devices used to lift heavy loads. It aims to ensure these hoists are designed, manufactured, and tested consistently to promote safe operation and reliability across different markets. By adhering to ISO 3874, manufacturers provide a level of quality and safety that users can trust, helping prevent accidents and equipment failure during lifting operations.
