Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR FIRE HOOKS

( Second Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 November 1981, after the draft finalized
by the Fire Fighting Sectional Committee, had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 The function of a fire hook is to pierce ceiling to allow the water on
the upper floor to drain away, to pull down thatched roofs or roofs made
out of matting, pulling out bales and bags of various commodities from
a distance, opening and closing down of doors and various similar jobs.
This standard was first published in 1958 and revised in 1964. This
revision incorporates the modifications in the design of the hook besides
updating its other provisions.

0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down the requirements regarding materials, shape
and dimensions, workmanship, finish and performance for fire hooks.

2. MATERIALS

2.1 Steel - Steel ( forged ) to be used for hook head shall be medium
carbon steel and it shall conform to IS : 200419781_ to hardness 350
to 450 HV.
2.2 Handle - It shall be made of bamboo of length not less than 3 m.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

3. SHAPE, DIMENSIONS
3.1 The shape and dimensions shall conform to those given in Fig. 1.

4. WORKMANSHIP AND FINISH

4.1 All parts of hook shall have good workmanship. The forging shall
be free from seams, burrs, cracks and other surface defects. The edges
shall be well shaped and finished as shown in Fig. 1.

4.2 Hook head shall be treated with a suitable anti-corrosive paint ( see
IS : 1404-1970” except the piercing edges which shall be bright finished
and lacquered.

5. PERFORMANCE TEST REQUIREMENT

5.1 Hook shall be engaged to a horizontal spar, and a weight of 140 kg
shall be applied vertically to the handle. The test shall be repeated ten
times. The hook shall not bend and/or dent during the test.

6. MARKING
6.1 Each fire hook shall be clearly and permanently marked with the
following information:

a) Manufacturer’s name or trade-mark,

b) Size of handle, and
c) Year of manufacture.

6.1.1 Fire hook may also be marked with the IS1 Certification Mark.
NOTE 7 The use of the IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of
the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act, and the Rules and Regu-
lations made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the require-
ments of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality
control which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer. IS1
marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that
standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the
use of the IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors,
may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

*Specification for anti-corrosive paint, brushing, for ships bottom and hulls, red
chocolate or black, as required ( jrstrevision ).
