1. Approved Codes of Practice (ACoPs):


Have no legal status


Are only recommendations
#

Have a quasi legal status


Are mandatory

2. When we proof test an item on a test machine we are actually applying:


A mass equal to the weight


A friction equal to the mass
#

A force equal to the mass


A weight equal to the friction

3. LEEA Technical Requirements call for test machines to have:


A minimum accuracy of 1.5%
#

A minimum accuracy of 2%


A maximum accuracy of 1.5%


A maximum accuracy of 2%

4. When test weights are used, LEEA Technical Requirements call for the applied load to have:


A minimum accuracy of 1.5%
#

A minimum accuracy of 2%


A maximum accuracy of 1.5%


A maximum accuracy of 2%

5. The LEEA Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Lifting Equipment is:


An Approved Code of Practice
#

A Recommended Code of Practice


A Harmonised Standard


A training Manual

6. Working to Harmonised European Standards:
#

Is one way of ensuring products comply with European Directives
#

Is mandatory


Ensures the interchangeability of components whatever their source


Prevents the use of imported materials

7. The SI metric system of measurements used in the UK is:


Different to that used in the rest of Europe


Is based on a random series of numbers
#

Was adopted internationally in 1960


Is also known as the imperial system

8. The SI unit of force is known as the:


Watt


Metre


Litre
#

Newton

9. The conversion used for inches to millimetres is:


1 inch =2.54mm


1 foot =25.4mm
#

1 inch =25.4mm


1 foot =254mm

10. 10ft is approximately:


1 metre


2 metres


2.5 metres
#

3 metres

11. 1m is approximately:


3.9
#

39


3.9


39

12. For conversion purposes 1 hundredweight equals:


5kg


15kg
#

50kg


500kg

13. The American ton equals:


2000kg


2240kg


2240lbs
#

2000lbs

14. The Imperial ton equals:


2000kg


2240kg
#

2240lbs


2000lbs

15. The Metric tonne equals:
#

2204lbs


2240lbs


2000kg


2240kg

16. For all practical purposes we can say that 10kN equals:
#

1000kg


1000lb


10000kg


10000lb

17. The SI unit of stress is the Newton per square metre (N/m), therefore:


1MN/m =10N/mm


1N/m =1ton/inch
#

1MN/m =1N/mm


1N/m =10ton/inch

18. BSI recommend that SWL(WLL) of less than 1000kg should be marked:


As decimals of a tonne to three decimal places
#

In kilograms to the nearest whole kilogram


In increments of 10kg to that nearest the actual amount


Are too small for practical purposes and should not be used

19. When marking SWL(WLL) greater than 1000kg, BSI recommend:
#

Marking in tonnes to only one decimal place, except for 1.25t


Marking whole tonnes and any remainder as kilograms


Marking only in kilograms


Marking in tonnes with three decimal places

20. When re-marking an imperial rated shackle of 2ton 9cwt SWL with SI units the correct marking would be:


2t 900kg


2.9t


2400kg
#

2.4t
