Steps
Confirm current edition via asme.org's B30.9 page — B30.9-2021 was current at time of research; re-verify before citing
Fetch B30.9 scope: fabrication, attachment, use, inspection, testing, and maintenance of slings (alloy steel chain, wire rope, metal mesh, synthetic fiber rope, synthetic webbing, polyester fiber yarn slings with protective covers)
Note the 2021 edition added a nonmandatory appendix on sling protection and a new definition for endless alloy-chain slings — flag if the inspection references an older edition's terminology
Apply the initial/frequent/periodic inspection tiers defined for the specific sling material type, since removal criteria differ by material (e.g., wire rope sling criteria differ from synthetic webbing criteria)
Document sling identification (tag/marking), rated capacity, and inspection disposition per the standard's requirements
Known gotchas
Removal criteria are material-specific — do not apply wire-rope-sling criteria to a synthetic webbing or chain sling, or vice versa
B30.9 is a voluntary consensus standard; confirm the customer contract, state plan, or OSHA incorporation basis that makes compliance mandatory for the specific job before treating it as binding law
