21、 energy 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Construction An accessory cord shall be made in a kernmantel construction and have a nominal diameter of 4 mm to 8 mm. 4.2 Diameter The nominal diameter dnomshall be one of the values given in Table 1. The limit deviation between the actual value deffand the given n
22、ominal diameter shall be not more than +2,07,0mm. The actual diameter shall be determined according to 5.3.

25、amples 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 these samples at a temperature of (23 5) C within 10 min. 5.3 Diameter Measu
26、re the actual diameter deffunder a load of (4 0,05) kg after the latter has been applied for (60 15) s. Ensure that the cross-sectional area of the accessory cord is not subjected to any deformation during the measurement. Take the measurements in two directions around the diameter, starting at poin
27、ts 90 apart, at each of three locations approximately 300 mm apart. The length of the contact areas of the measuring instrument shall be (50 1) mm. Report the arithmetic mean of the six measurements, to the nearest 0,1 mm. BS EN 564:2014EN 564:2014 (E) 6 5.4 Determination of tensile strength Carry o
28、ut the determination of the tensile strength by using a tensile testing machine and fixing devices in accordance with EN ISO 2307:2010, 5.1. The minimum free length between attachment points shall be 200 mm. Determine the loading speed, v, as a function of the free length of the test sample, using F
29、ormula (2): v = (0,5 0,1) l (2) where v is the loading speed in millimetres per minute; l is the free length in millimetres between points of attachment. 5.5 Determination of mass per unit length Carry out the test with a minimum free length between points of attachment of 1 200 mm. NOTE There is no
30、 requirement for any particular type of fixing device. Load the test sample without shock by means of a (4 0,05) kg test mass. Retain the load for (60 15) s and mark a reference length of (1 000 1) mm, with a distance between the marks and the points of attachment of at least 100 mm. Release the loa
31、d and cut the marked part from the test sample and determine its mass to the nearest 0,1 g. Report the mass per unit length in grams per metre, to at least two significant figures. There is no specific requirement for mass per unit length, but it can be marked on the drum or packaging of the accesso
32、ry cord (see Clause 6). 6 Marking The drum or production-line packaging of accessory cords shall be marked with at least the following items: a) the number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 564; b) name of the manufacturer or its authorized representative; c) nominal diameter of the accessory cord;
33、 d) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; e) if accessory cord is supplied on a drum and consists of more than one piece, the number of pieces shall be stated on the drum; f) year of manufacture; g) Optionally: the mass per unit length.

35、entative; b) the number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 564; c) nominal diameter of the accessory cord as specified in 4.1; d) mass per unit length of the accessory cord as specified in 4.3; e) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; f) use of the product; g)
36、 how to choose other components for use in the system; h) how to maintain/service the product, on the effects of chemical reagents and how to disinfect the product without adverse effect; i) lifespan of the product or how to assess it; j) after a serious fall the accessory cord should be withdrawn f
37、rom use as soon as possible; k) influence of wet and icy conditions; l) danger of sharp edges; m) influence of storage and ageing due to use; n) influence of knots on the strength; o) meaning of the marking of the product. 8 Packaging If accessory cord is supplied on a drum and consists of more than
38、 one piece, the ends of the pieces shall be clearly visible and not joined together.
