Decoding European chain hoist standards for the USA user

Session details:

European standards and specifications are  commonly referred to or quoted when talking about chain hoist design and use in the USA. 
I propose we give a talk for the average chain hoist user or buyer to teach them about what is what in quoted standards and why they should, and in some cases shouldn't, care. 
this would not be brand-specific info and including other manufacturers or speakers to create a panel would be welcome.
