📌 Notes:
        Refer to IS 3815 / DIN 15401 / BS 2903 depending on standard.
        Check hook deformation against original or nominal size.
        If used in lifting, perform magnetic particle inspection for surface
         cracks.
   Rejection Criteria:
       o   Throat opening widened >5%
       o   Wear >10% on contact surfaces
       o   Any visible cracks
