j)rotary swivel-bail adapters;
k)rotary swivels;
l)power swivels;
m)power subs;
n)spiders, if capable of being used as elevators;
o)wire-line anchors;
p)drill-string motion compensators;
q)kelly spinners, if capable of being used as hoisting equipment;
r)pressure vessels and piping mounted onto hoisting equipment;
s)safety clamps, if capable of being used as hoisting equipment;
t)guide dollies for traveling equipment (e.g. hooks, blocks, etc.).

This Standard establishes requirements for two product specification levels (PSLs). These two PSL designations define different levels of technical requirements. All the requirements of Section 4 through Section 11 are applicable to PSL 1 unless specifically identified as PSL 2.
