This document specifies requirements for the manufacture, testing, acceptance, packing, marking and issuing of a certificate of quality of wire ropes. It is applicable to round strand ropes and compacted strand ropes made from wires ropes that are uncoated (bright), zinc-coated or Zn-Al coated.

It is not applicable to ropes for

  • mining purposes,

  • aircraft control,

  • aerial ropeways and funiculars, and

  • lifts.
