where that wire is used.
All production testing should be done according Holloway Houston, Inc.’s internal procedures and to be

This certificate form is only to be used for slings certified according to this Type Approval Certificate.
If using wire rope manufactured in US Customary Units sizes (inch) for DNV GL Type Approved lifting
sets, care should be taken to ensure that the correct minimum breaking load is applied during the
selection process.
Special slings, assembled according to the principles described in DNV 2.7-1 Offshore Containers,

to be assembled, local DNV GL office has to be contacted for reviewing in each case, unless otherwise is
agreed with local DNV GL office.
Note: The sling leg is not necessarily the weakest part of the lifting set. Master link assemblies selected
for slings with legs at 45˚ may not be suitable for slings with a smaller angle.
The WLL to be used in certificates and marked on lifting sets shall be the maximum rating of an offshore
container on which the sling can be used, at the given sling leg angle.
