BS EN 565:2017EN 565:2017 (E) 4 Introduction The text of this European Standard is based on the former UIAA-Standard H (Union Internationale des Associations dAlpinisme), which has been developed with international participation. This European Standard is one of a package of standards for
27、mountaineering equipment, see Annex A. BS EN 565:2017EN 565:2017 (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 documents, in wh
28、ole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 2307:2010, Fibre ropes - Deter
29、mination of certain physical and mechanical properties (ISO 2307:2010) 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 requirem
30、ents 4.1 Stability When tested in accordance with 5.3, the weft yarn of the tape shall not be released from the tape sample. 4.2 Tensile strength When tested in accordance with 5.4, the tensile strength of tape shall be at least 10 kN. It shall be possible to read the tensile strength from the conti
31、nuous tape (see 6.2). 4.3 Mass per unit length This mass shall be given as information according to 7 d). 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
32、 5.5 on one 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
33、these samples at a temperature of (23 5) C within 10 min. BS EN 565:2017EN 565:2017 (E) 6 5.3 Stability 5.3.1 Preparation Cut a sample of at least 200 mm length of tape without the influence of heat. Extract the weft yarn on both ends to allow the attachment of a test mass of (150 5) g (see Figure 1
34、). Key 1 clamp 2 tape 3 warp yarns 4 weft yarn M M = (150 5) g Figure 1 Test method for stability 5.3.2 Test Fix the test sample in a vertical orientation. Apply, without shock, the mass to the weft yarn of the lower side for at least 1 min. Release the mass and check that the weft yarn has not unra
35、velled and the test mass stays in a stable position. Repeat the test on the weft yarn of the other end of the test sample. 5.4 Determination of tensile strength Carry out the determination of the tensile strength by using a tensile testing machine and fixing devices in accordance with 5.1 of EN ISO
36、2307:2010. The minimum length between attachment points shall be 200 mm. Determine the loading speed, v, as a function of the length of the test sample, using Formula (1): v = 0,5 l with an accuracy of 20 % (1) where v is the loading speed in millimetres per minute; l is the length in millimetres be
37、tween points of attachment. BS EN 565:2017EN 565:2017 (E) 7 5.5 Determination of mass per unit length Carry out the test with a minimum length of 1 300 mm between attachment points. NOTE There is no requirement for any particular type of fixing device. Load the test sample without shock at a rate no
38、t 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 between the marks and the attachment points of at least 100 mm. Release the load, then cut the marked part from the test sample and determine its
39、 mass to the nearest 0,1 g. Record 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). 6 Marking 6.1 The drum or production line packagin
40、g of tapes shall be marked with at least the following: a) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 565; b) name of the manufacturer; c) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; d) if tape is supplied on a drum, it shall be of the same type, specification and ba
41、tch of manufacture, and if it consists of more than one piece, the number of pieces shall be stated on the drum; e) year of manufacture; NOTE In addition, the mass per unit length can also be marked. f) graphical symbol (see Figure 2), which advises the user to read the information supplied by the m
42、anufacturer. Figure 2 Operators manual (according to ISO 7000, Symbol No. 1641) 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
43、 contrast to the colour of the tape; c) marking shall be at least on one side of the tape, in the middle of the tape; d) space between coloured threads shall be clearly visible by eye. BS EN 565:2017EN 565:2017 (E) 8 7 Information supplied by the manufacturer The tape shall be supplied with an expla
44、natory leaflet, 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 565; c) meaning of any marking on the product; d) mass per unit length of the tape as specified in 5.5; e) tensile strength
45、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 without adverse effect; i) lifespan of the product
46、 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 strength. 8 Packaging If the tape is supplied on
47、a drum and consists of more than one piece, the ends of the pieces shall be clearly visible and not joined together.
