Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 3266 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 111, Round steel link chains, chain slings,
components and accessories, Subcommittee SC 3, Components and accessories.

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.

The equipment concerned as well as the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this International Standard.

When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards,
for equipment that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3266:2010(E)

Forged steel eyebolts grade 4 for general lifting purposes

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the general characteristics, performance and critical dimensions
necessary for interchangeability and compatibility with other components, of forged steel eyebolts grade 4 for
general lifting purposes. These eyebolts can be used for axial and inclined loading.

This International Standard specifies the dimensions of the eyes of eyebolts permitting direct connection with
shackles of the same working load limit as those defined in ISO 2415. These dimensions also allow designs
with a larger eye which can permit direct connection with sling hooks of similar working load limit.

This International Standard covers all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
eyebolts grade 4 as defined in Clause 4.

This International Standard is applicable to eyebolts grade 4 for use in the temperature range of −20 ºC to
200 ºC.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
This International Standard is not applicable to eyebolts which are not forged in one piece.
(standards.iteh.ai)
This International Standard is not applicable to forged steel eyebolts grade 4 manufactured before the date of
its publication as an International Standard. ISO 3266:2010
