National foreword This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the Produktsicherheitsgesetz (
5、ProdSG) (German Product Safety Act). This document (EN 567:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sport
6、- und Freizeitgert, Working Committee NA 112-04-05 AA Bergsteigerausrstung. Where this standard has been identified by the Ausschuss fr Produktsicherheit (German Committee for Product Safety) and reference to it has been published in the Gemeinsames Ministerialblatt (German Joint Ministerial Gazette
7、) by the Bundesanstalt fr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) (German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), it is to be presumed that rope clamps which comply with this standard fulfil the relevant health and safety requirements. Where they comply with the provisions laid down i
8、n Section 5 of the Product Safety Act, such products may then be marked with the GS mark (German “safety tested” mark) as awarded to the manufacturer by an authorized “GS organization”. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 567:1997-04 as follows: a) the standard has been editorially revised.
9、 b) new test methods have been introduced to test the prevention of an accidental detachment of the rope from the rope clamp; c) Annex A “Standards on mounteneering equipment” has been updated.

29、e direction 3.2 locking 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 diame
30、ter within the range marked 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 c
31、an be released from the 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
32、.4 When tested according to 5.2.3 rope clamps shall have an attachment point of at least diameter 13 mm (see Figure 1). The edges of all openings for handles and connectors or sling attachment shall be as shown in Figure 1. 4.1.5 When tested according to 5.2.1 all edges of a rope clamp shall be free
33、 of burrs. DIN EN 567:2013-06 EN 567:2013 (E) 6 4.2 Strength 4.2.1 When tested according to 5.3.1, rope clamps with a rope or accessory cord of diameter within the range marked on the rope clamp (see Clause 6) attached shall show no visible signs of damage or deformation which can impair its functio
34、n. Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Edges of openings 4.2.2 When tested according to 5.3.2 the rope or accessory cord shall not be detached from the rope clamp at the force of at least 400 N. 4.2.3 When tested according to 5.3.3 the rope or accessory cord shall not be detached from the rope clamp
35、at the force of at least 2 000 N. 5 Test methods 5.1 Test conditions Carry out the tests at a temperature of (23 5) C. 5.2 Examination of design 5.2.1 General Test by tactile examination that the edges of the rope clamp are free of burrs. 5.2.2 Function With the locking device closed and a rope or a
36、ccessory cord 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 min
37、imum diameter 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. DIN EN 567:2013-06 EN 567:2013 (E) 7 5.3 Strength test 5.3.1 Determination of the strength Attach a rope according to EN 892 or
38、 EN 1891 or accessory cord according to EN 564 of maximum diameter as marked on the rope clamp, to the rope clamp as specified by the manufacturer and a connector 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 tes
39、t 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 force is applied to a previously unloaded point of the rope or accessory cord in each case. Repeat the procedure using a rope or accessory cord
40、 of minimum diameter, as marked on the rope clamp. Note any visible signs of damage or deformation, which can impair its function. 5.3.2 Pushing test Attach a loop of rope according to EN 892 or EN 1891 or accessory cord according to EN 564 of maximum diameter as marked on the rope clamp to the rope
41、 clamp as specified by the manufacturer and a connector in the upper hole of the rope clamp (see Figure 2). If there is no upper hole, clamp or use any other means of attachment without influence on the test. Fix the system in a tensile testing machine and load it with a force of (400 10) N, using a
42、 test speed of (100 50) mm/min. Release the load immediately. Repeat the procedure using a rope or accessory cord of minimum diameter, as marked on the rope clamp. Note any visible signs of damage or deformation, which can impair its function. Figure 2 Pushing test DIN EN 567:2013-06 EN 567:2013 (E)

Fix the system in a tensile testin
44、g machine and load it with a force of (2 0,01) kN using a test speed of (100 50) mm/min. Release the load immediately. The slack on the untensioned strand shall be at least 100 mm (see Figure 3). Repeat the procedure using a rope or accessory cord of minimum diameter, as marked on the rope clamp. No
45、te any visible signs of damage or deformation, which can impair its function.
