EMG strives to produce and deliver products of the highest and safest quality. When it comes to our assortment of lifting bags, all of our models are meant to function in weather conditions ranging from -40° to 100° C.
We assure that all models have been made of sturdy materials and high-quality lifting ribbons that will easily withstand the marked WLL. Every material, ribbon, buckle and final product has been force tested and surpassed the relevant requirements set by EN 1492-1 as well as ISO 21898*.

EN1492-1
The EN 1492-1 standard is found in the Council Directive of 17 May 2006 (2006/42/EF). The standard focus on flat woven webbing slings and is at EMG used as guidance for the production of the lifting bags with respect to load factor, marking, inspection interval and instruction manual.In accordance with EN 1492-1 all of our lifting bags are produced and tested to withstand a vertical safety factor of 7:1 although our internal goals are to pass requirements of at least 10:1.
ISO 21898
The ISO 21898 standard focus on flexible intermediate bulk containers and is at EMG used as guidance for the production of lifting bags with respect to load factor, pressure testing and marking.In accordance with ISO 21898 all of our lifting bag models are produced and tested to withstand a cycle of 70 load tests of safety factor 4:1 or 6:1, depending on the WLL of the bag. This cyclic top lift test will be performed using plastic granulate or actual content. Furthermore, a compression/stacking test will be performed for 6 hours.
With these standards we ensure that our slings, fabric, stitching, buckles, zippers and final products have been tested to withstand the WLL requirements of each specific bag.
With every unit of a final product comes a certificate of conformity with a unique serial number, an instruction manual and a label placed on the bag showing the relevant data.
