National foreword This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the Gerte- und Produktsicherheitsgesetz (German Equipment and Consumer Goods Safety Law). This standard has
4、been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational equipment” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sport- und Freizeitgert (Sports Equipment Standards Committee), Technical Committee NA 11
5、2-04-05 AA Bergsteigerausrstung. Pulleys as specified in this standard fall within the scope of the Gerte- und Produktsicherheitsgesetz. Once compliance with the safety requirements specified in article 7 has been verified by an accredited test house, the equipment may be marked with the symbol GS (
6、= geprfte Sicherheit, safety tested). Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 12278:1998-07 as follows: a) Requirements for securing and testing of sheave axles have been described in detail. b) Table 1 “Torque for testing the locking system” has been deleted. c) The new rules for drawing up Eu
7、ropean Standards have been taken into consideration. d) The list of standards on mountaineering equipment has been updated.

EN 12278:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for pulleys for use in mountaineering including climbing. 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Terms and definitions
20、For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 pulley one or more sheaves mounted in a block or a body, which can be used to link a rope (in accordance with EN 892 and EN 1891) or an accessory cord (in accordance with EN 564) to a connector (in accordance with EN 1
21、2275) to safeguard a mountaineer, and which reduces the friction while the rope or accessory cord is moving under load NOTE Typical examples of use are load reduction systems, tyrolian travers, zip wires and top rope belay. 3.2 sheave grooved wheel to locate the rope 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Design
22、 4.1.1 Pulleys shall have a means for attachment of a connector which is large enough to accommodate a pin of diameter 12 mm. Testing shall be in accordance with 5.2.1. 4.1.2 The pulley, particularly its sheaves, shall be large enough to accommodate a rope or an accessory cord of such diameter as ma
23、rked on the pulley. Testing shall be in accordance with 5.2.2. 4.1.3 All edges of the pulley, which come into contact with fingers, shall be free from burrs and the like which could cause irritation or injuries. Testing shall be in accordance with 5.2.3. 4.1.4 If any sheave axle is secured by nuts o
24、r screws, the nuts and/or screws shall be locked and secured by means other than friction. 4.2 Strength 4.2.1 When tested in accordance with 5.3.2, the sheave(s) shall be capable to rotate ten times in either direction under a force of 2 kN, applied to each sheave individually. 4.2.2 When tested is
25、accordance with 5.3.2, the pulley shall not show signs of damage or deformation, which could affect its function. 4.2.3 When tested in accordance with 5.3.2, the pulley shall be capable of withstanding a static force of at least 15 kN, applied to each sheave individually, without completely releasin
26、g either the rope or the steel U-bar. EN 12278:2007 (E) 5 5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling For the tests the number of test samples required is determined by the number of sheaves, their size and the material from which they are made to ensure that each size/material-combination is tested. 5.2 Design 5.2
27、.1 Test the means for attachment in accordance with 4.1.1, with the pin of (12 0,1) mm diameter. 5.2.2 Test each sheave in accordance with 4.1.2, with the pin of (1 0,1) diameter greater than the maxi-mum diameter on the pulley. The pin shall touch the bottom of the groove (see Figure 1). Key a) rig
28、ht b) wrong Figure 1 Testing the groove 5.2.3 Check by visual examination and handling that the requirements in accordance with 4.1.3 are met. 5.2.4 If any sheave axle is secured by nuts or screws in accordance with 4.1.4 check by visual examination that the requirements specified in 4.1.4 are met.
29、EN 12278:2007 (E) 6 5.3 Determination of strength 5.3.1 Apparatus The principle of the apparatus transmitting the force F is shown in Figure 3. The force F is to be transmitted a) by means of the U-bar in accordance with Figure 2 in the attachment point of the pulley and b) with a rope with nominal
30、diameter equal to the maximum diameter on the pulley threaded through the sheaves of the pulley according to the instructions for use.

31、rocedure 5.3.2.1 Each sheave shall be tested separately on a different test sample in accordance with 5.1. 5.3.2.2 Carry out the strength test at a temperature of (23 5) C. 5.3.2.3 Rate of loading shall be (100 50) mm/min. 5.3.2.4 Under a force of (2 0,05) kN pull the rope such that the sheave of th
32、e test sample rotates con-tinuously ten times in each direction, or until it ceases to rotate. EN 12278:2007 (E) 7 5.3.2.5 After the test according to 5.3.2.4, check by visual examination that the requirements according to 4.2.2 are met. 5.3.2.6 After the examination according to 5.3.2.5, increase t
33、he force until breakage and check that the requirements according to 4.2.3 are met. 5.3.2.7 Repeat the test sequence in accordance with 5.3.2.2 to 5.3.2.6 for each sheave with a different size or material on different test samples. 6 Marking Pulleys shall be marked clearly, indelibly and durably wit
34、h at least the following items: a) name of the manufacturer or its representative in the European Community; b) maximum diameter of the rope in mm with which the pulley can be used; c) pictorial representation showing the maximum loads in kN which can be applied between any sheave and the attachment
35、 points, which the manufacturer ensures; the marked strength shall be a whole number of kN; d) year of the manufacture. 7 Information supplied by the manufacturer The pulley shall be supplied with an explanatory leaflet, and written in at least the official language(s) of the state of destination wi
36、thin the European Community containing at least the following items: a) name and address of the manufacturer or its authorized representative; b) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 12278; c) identification of the model, if more than one model is available; d) meaning of any marks on the produ
37、ct; e) advice on the use of the product, especially the maximum diameter of the rope with which the pulley can be used, on how to pass the rope through the pulleys; f) maximum strength in kN guaranteed by the manufacturer; g) advice how to choose other components for use in the system; h) advice how
38、 to maintain/service the product; i) effects of chemical reagents; j) lifespan of the product or how to assess it and that after a serious damage the product should be with-drawn from use as soon as possible; k) influence of wet and icy conditions; l) influence of storage and ageing due to use.
