National foreword This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the Produktsicherheitsgesetz (ProdSG) (Ge
5、rman Product Safety Act). This document (EN 566:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, Working Group WG 5 “Mountaineering and climbing equipment” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved
6、 in its preparation was DIN-Normenausschuss Sport- und Freizeitgert (DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment), Working Committee NA 112-04-05 AA “Mountaineering equipment”. Where this standard has been identified by the Ausschuss fr Produktsicherheit (German Committee for Product Safety) and refere
7、nce to it has been published in the Gemeinsames Ministerialblatt (German Joint Ministerial Gazette) by the Bundesanstalt fr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) (German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), it is to be presumed that slings which comply with this standard fulfil t
8、he relevant health and safety requirements. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 566:2007-03 as follows: a) requirements for test methods for the stability test have been amended; b) test conditions have been amended.

This European standard is one of a package of standards for mountaineerin
24、g equipment, see Annex A. DIN EN 566:2017-05 EN 566:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for slings used for mountaineering including climbing. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 2.

Figure 1 Examples of construction 3 Safety re
26、quirements 3.1 Stability When a woven tape is used, the weft yarn of the tape shall not unravel when tested in accordance with 4.1. 3.2 Stitching Where stitching is used to provide safety and strength (e.g. in joints) it shall be possible to inspect it and the stitching shall contrast with the tape
27、in colour or surface appearance. 3.3 Tensile strength When tested in accordance with 4.3, the tensile strength shall be at least 22 kN. DIN EN 566:2017-05 EN 566:2017 (E) 6 4 Test methods 4.1 Stability 4.1.1 Preparation Cut a sample of at least 200 mm in length of the woven tape from the sling witho
28、ut the influence of heat. Extract the weft yarns on both ends of the sample to allow the attachment of a test mass of 150 g 5 g (see Figure 2). Key 1 clamp 2 tape 3 warp yarns 4 weft yarns M M = 150 g 5 g Figure 2 Test method for stability 4.1.2 Test Fix the test sample vertically. Apply, without sh
29、ock, the mass to the weft yarn of the lower end of the test sample for at least 1 min. Release the mass and check whether or not the weft yarn has unravelled. Repeat the test on the weft yarn of the other end of the test sample. 4.2 Stitching Carry out a visual examination to check that the requirem
30、ents specified in 3.2 are met. 4.3 Tensile strength 4.3.1 Test sample One sample of the shortest length of the sling type shall be tested. The test shall always be carried out on an unused test sample. DIN EN 566:2017-05 EN 566:2017 (E) 7 4.3.2 Conditioning and test conditions Dry the test samples f
31、or at least 24 h in an atmosphere of (50 5) C and less than 20 % relative humidity. Then condition these test samples in an atmosphere of (23 2) C and (50 2) % relative humidity for at least 72 h. Then start testing these samples at a temperature of (23 5) C within 10 min. 4.3.3 Determination of ten
32、sile strength Attach the test sample between two bars offering a contact radius of (5 0,05) mm to the sling and with a mean roughness value, Ra, not exceeding 0,8 m and a peak to valley height, Rmax, not exceeding 6,3 m. Determine the loading speed, v, as a function of the free length of the test sa
33、mple, using Formula (1): ( ) 0,5 0,1 / min vl= (1) where v is the loading speed in millimetres per minute; l is the free length in millimetres of the test sample overall laid out in the flat. 5 Marking Slings shall be marked with at least the following items: a) name of the manufacturer or its autho
34、rized representative; b) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; c) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 566; d) year of manufacture. 6 Information supplied by the manufacturer The sling shall be supplied with an explanatory leaflet, and written in at least
35、 the official language(s) of the state of destination 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 566; c) meaning of any marking on the product; d) tensile strength which the manufactu
36、rer ensures at the time of manufacturing; e) use of the product; f) how to choose other components for use in the system; g) how to maintain/service the product, on the effects of chemical reagents and how to clean the product without adverse effect; h) lifespan of the product and how to assess it a
37、nd that after a serious fall the sling should be withdrawn from use as soon as possible; DIN EN 566:2017-05 EN 566:2017 (E) 8 i) influence of wet and icy conditions; j) danger of sharp edges; k) influence of storage and aging due to use; l) influence of knots on the strength.
