yes, but the scope of BTH-01 is to define design criteria for lifting accessories that are used by the crane. The criteria for the load block are defined in the DIN standards for hooks and crane standards (AISE, FEM...)
I don't know if I was clear in my question. thank you anyway
I would like to know if there is any standard that defines whether the hook block (load block) should be considered a suspended load (wihout a load attached)
There is a discussion at the company where I work where we cannot reach a consensus.
I would like to base myself on some technical standard.
