Steps
Confirm current edition via asme.org's B30.26 page — B30.26-2015 (R2020) was current at time of research and reported as on stabilized maintenance (periodic reaffirmation rather than active revision); re-verify before citing
Fetch B30.26 scope: construction, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of detachable rigging hardware
Apply inspection criteria per hardware type — wear, deformation, cracking, corrosion, and markings/rated-load legibility are typical checkpoints, but confirm specifics against the current standard text rather than assuming uniform criteria across all hardware types
Cross-reference load-indicating device calibration if the rigging hardware being inspected includes load pins or dynamometers
Document hardware identification, rated capacity, and disposition consistent with the inspection company's retention policy
Known gotchas
'Stabilized maintenance' status (2015 edition reaffirmed 2020) means no newer edition existed as of the last check — but re-verify on asme.org before citing an edition, since standards committees can resume active revision
B30.26 covers detachable hardware only — permanently attached rigging components fall under other B30 volumes (e.g., slings under B30.9); do not misclassify equipment
