Both when I was in the Navy and then worked as a civilian for Navy Public Works; we had to load test all weight handling and binding equipment/materials annually. This is a destructive test with actual weights. When the tested less than design load they became garbage, scrap, or down-graded to a lower value. Everything had a load value on a tag or stamped on in it. 50 combined years and never saw or heard of a failure when rated loads or test were applied. Every item had a load rating and a failure value.
