29、device device that, when closed around a rope, prevents the unintended removal of the rope from the rope clamp 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Design 4.1.1 Rope clamps shall have a locking device or similar mechanism that, if closed prevents a rope or an accessory cord with a diameter within the range mar
30、ked on the rope clamp (see Clause 6) from being removed from the rope clamp. The rope clamps shall be designed in such a way that when used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, at least two independent actions shall be needed, before the rope or accessory cord can be released from the
31、rope clamp. 4.1.2 When tested according to 5.2.2 rope clamps shall clamp onto a rope or an accessory cord in one direction and to move freely in the opposite direction. 4.1.3 When tested according to 5.3.1 rope clamps shall not completely break the rope or accessory cord. 4.1.4 When tested according
32、 to 5.2.3 rope clamps shall have an attachment point of at least diameter 13 mm (see Figure 1).

36、of maximum diameter, as marked on the rope clamp, check that the rope or accessory cord cannot be removed sideways. Check also, by pulling by hand, that the rope clamp locks in one direction and can slip in the opposite direction. Repeat the checks using a rope or accessory cord of minimum diameter
37、as marked on the rope clamp. 5.2.3 Attachment Determine the dimension of the attachment opening (see 4.1.4) by measuring with a bar of (1301,00+) mm diameter.

43、r in the attachment point of the rope clamp. Fix the system in a tensile testing machine and load it with a force of (4 0,1) kN using a test speed of (100 50) mm/min. Release the load immediately. Repeat four more times. Move the rope clamp between application of each force, so that the locking forc
