Welded chain, DIN 5685, type A, short link, electro-galvanized. Chains according to DIN 5685 are not tested for strength as per DIN 685 Part 3 and should not be used as load-bearing devices or lifting equipment according to DIN 15003, nor for the static suspension of loads. The recommended maximum load capacity is a calculated value; the chains are not tested. Calculation of the maximum load capacity: theoretical breaking strength of the chain e.g.: 360 kg = 45 kg safety factor 8.
