13、has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by
14、June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2006. This document supersedes EN 565:1997. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association to support Essential Requirements of EU D
15、irective 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.

EN 565:2006 (E) 4 Introduc
17、tion The text of this European Standard is based on the former UIAA-Standard H (Union Internationale des Asso-ciations dAlpinisme), which has been developed with international participation. This European Standard is one of a package of standards for mountaineering equipment, see Annex A. EN 565:200
18、6 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for tape supplied on drums or in separate lengths, for use in mountaineering including climbing. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For
19、 dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

20、hysical and mechanical properties (ISO 2307:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 tape long, narrow, flat textile structure intended to withstand forces, but not intended to absorb energy 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Stability Wh
21、en shuttleless loom webbing is used, the weft shall be locked by an additional locking thread or by any other system, which guarantees that the edges cannot be unravelled when one of the yarns breaks. 4.2 Tensile strength When tested in accordance with 5.4, the tensile strength of tape shall be at l
22、east 5 kN. It shall be possible to read the tensile strength from the continuous tape (see 6.2). 4.3 Packaging If the tape is supplied on a drum and consists of more than one piece, the ends of the pieces shall be clearly visible and not joined together. No testing required. 4.4 Mass per unit length
23、 This mass shall be given as information according to 7 d). EN 565:2006 (E) 6 5 Test methods 5.1 Test samples 5.1.1 Carry out the test described in 5.3 on one test sample. 5.1.2 Carry out the tests described in 5.4 on one test sample. 5.1.3 Carry out the test described in 5.5 on one test sample. 5.2
24、 Conditioning Condition the test samples as described in EN ISO 139. Carry out the test at a relative humidity which may be outside the standard atmosphere given in EN ISO 139, but at a temperature of (23 5) C, in which case the test should begin within 5 min of removal from the condi-tioning atmosp
25、here. 5.3 Stability Check the requirements of 4.1 using a test sample of 1 000 mm minimum length and cut one warp and one weft thread. 5.4 Determination of tensile strength Carry out the determination of the tensile strength by using a tensile testing machine and fixing devices in ac-cordance with 5
26、.1 of EN ISO 2307:2005. 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 Equation (1): v = 0,5 l with an accuracy of 20 % (1) where v is the loading speed in millimetres per minute; l is the
27、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 1 300 mm. NOTE There is no requirement for any particular type of fixing device. Load the test sample without shock at a ra
28、te not exceeding 1 mm/s by means of a (4 0,05) kg test mass. Retain the maximum load for (60 15) s and mark a reference length of (1 000 1) mm, with a distance be-tween the marks and the points of attachment of at least 100 mm. Release the load and cut the marked part from the test sample and determ
29、ine 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 tape (see Clause 6). EN 565:2006 (E) 7 6 Marking 6.1 The drum or
30、 production-line packaging of tapes shall be marked with at least the following items, which shall be given at least in the official language(s) of the state of destination within the European Community: a) word “tape“ and the number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 565; b) name of the manufacture
31、r or its representative in the European Community; c) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; d) if tape is supplied on a drum and consists of more than one piece, the number of pieces shall be stated on the drum; e) year of manufacture. NOTE In addition, the ma
32、ss per unit length can also be marked. 6.2 The tape shall be marked by means of threads to allow the minimum tensile strength to be read directly, as follows: a) one coloured thread per 5 kN tensile strength; b) colour of the thread(s) shall be uniform and in contrast to the colour of the tape; c) m
33、arking shall be on one side of the tape only, in the middle of the tape; d) space between coloured threads shall be clearly visible by eye. 7 Information supplied by the manufacturer The tape shall be supplied with an explanatory leaflet, and written in at least the official language(s) of the state
34、 of destination within the European Community containing at least the following items: a) name and address of the manufacturer or its representative in the European Community; b) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 565; c) meaning of any marking on the product; d) mass per unit length of the t
35、ape as specified in 5.5; e) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; f) use of the product; g) 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 witho
36、ut adverse effect; i) lifespan of the product or how to assess it and that after a serious fall the tape should be withdrawn from use as soon as possible; j) influence of wet and icy conditions; k) danger of sharp edges; l) influence of storage and aging due to use; m) influence of knots on the stre
