34、harnesses. 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Construction Dynamic ropes in accordance with this European Standard shall be made in a kernmantel construction. Diameter and mass per unit length are relevant characteristics. See test method in 5.3. If the properties of the rope change along its length, for exa
35、mple: diameter, strength, markings, samples from each section shall be submitted for testing. The information to be supplied shall all correspond to the lowest performance section of the rope. 4.2 Sheath slippage When tested in accordance with 5.4, the sheath slippage in a longitudinal direction rel
36、ative to the core (in positive or negative direction) shall not exceed 1 % (20 mm) (see Figure 3).

37、ce with 5.5, the static elongation shall not exceed: 10 % in single ropes (single strand of rope); 12 % in half ropes (single strand of rope); 10 % in twin ropes (double strand of rope). 4.4 Dynamic Elongation When tested in accordance with 5.6, the dynamic elongation shall not exceed 40 % during th
38、e first drop for each test sample. 4.5 Peak force during fall arrest, number of drops 4.5.1 Peak force in the rope When tested in accordance with 5.6, the peak force in the rope, during the first drop, for each test sample, shall not exceed: 12 kN in single ropes (single strand of rope); 8 kN in hal
39、f ropes (single strand of rope); 12 kN in twin ropes (double strand of rope). 4.5.2 Number of drops When tested in accordance with 5.6, each rope sample shall withstand at least 5, for twin ropes at least 12, consecutive drop tests without breaking. DIN EN 892:2016-12 EN 892:2012+A1:2016 (E) 9 5 Tes
40、t methods 5.1 Test samples A test sample with a length of: 40 m for single and half ropes, 80 m or 2 40 m for twin rope; shall be available for the tests. Carry out the tests in accordance with 5.3 on an unused test sample. Carry out the tests in accordance with 5.4 on two unused test samples with a
41、 length of (2 250 10) mm. Carry out the test in accordance with 5.5 on two unused test samples with a length of at least 1 500 mm. Carry out the tests in accordance with 5.6 on three unused test samples with a minimum length of 5 m for single and half ropes, and 10 m for twin ropes, cut out of the a
42、vailable test sample. 5.2 Conditioning and test conditions Dry the test samples for 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 the
43、se samples at a temperature of (23 5) C within 10 min. 5.3 Construction, diameter, and mass per unit length 5.3.1 Procedure Clamp the test sample at one end. Load the test sample without shock with a mass1)of: (10 0,1) kg for single ropes, (6 0,1) kg for half ropes, (5 0,1) kg for twin ropes at a di
44、stance of at least 1 200 mm from the clamp. After applying the load for 60 s mark within the next 10 s a reference length of (1 000 1) mm on the test sample. The distance of the marking from the clamp or attachment for the test sample shall be at least 50 mm. Within a further 3 min measure the diame
45、ter in two directions around the diameter starting at points 90 apart at each of three levels approximately 100 mm apart. If the rope cross section is not circular, the maximum and minimum diameter are to be determined in each section. The length of the contact areas of the measuring instrument shal
46、l be (50 1) mm. The rope cross-sectional area shall not be subject to any compression during the measurement. Then cut out the marked portion of the test sample and determine the mass to the nearest 0,1 g. 1)The mass can be introduced by a corresponding force. DIN EN 892:2016-12 EN 892:2012+A1:2016
47、(E) 10 Check that the construction of the rope is a kernmantel construction. 5.3.2 Expression of results Express the diameter as the arithmetic mean of the six measurements to the nearest 0,1 mm. Express the mass per unit length in ktex or g/m to the nearest 1 g. 5.4 Sheath slippage 5.4.1 Principle
48、The rope is drawn through the apparatus illustrated in Figure 4, where the movement is restricted by radial forces. The resulting frictional force on the sheath causes slippage of the sheath relative to the core. The extent of this slippage is measured. Dimensions in millimetres ! “ Key 1 moving pla

Before cutting the other end of each test sample to size, apply a short length of adhesive tape around the rope, where it is to be cut, at right angles to the axis of the rope. The adhesive tape shall be at least 12 mm wid
