Steps
Confirm the device (e.g., lifting beam, spreader bar, below-the-hook clamp, vacuum lifter) falls within B30.20's scope for structural, mechanical, and electrical component design criteria
Confirm the device is marked with its rated load and other information the current B30.20 edition requires
Have a qualified person perform the initial, frequent, and periodic inspections B30.20 specifies, and document the periodic inspection
Confirm modifications or repairs to the device are reviewed and, where required, tested before returning it to service
Cross-check whether the device also falls under a related volume (e.g., B30.9 for any integrated slings) so all applicable requirements are covered
Known gotchas
Below-the-hook devices are covered by B30.20, separate from the sling requirements in B30.9 — a device with an integrated sling may need to satisfy both volumes
Custom or shop-fabricated lifting devices still need to meet B30.20's design and marking criteria even if they weren't purchased from a commercial manufacturer
