14、006 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 566:2006) 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 iden
15、tical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2007. This document supersedes EN 566:1997. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the Euro-pean Free Trade Assoc
16、iation to support Essential Requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound
17、 to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Den-mark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxem-bourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzer-lan

19、 international participation. This European Standard is one of a package of standards for mountaineering equipment, see Annex A.

20、nd test methods for slings used for mountaineering in-cluding climbing. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the reference
21、d document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 139, Textiles Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 139:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 sling tape, accessory cord or rope joined together by stitchi
22、ng or other means of fastening. The shape and length are not specified NOTE Examples of construction of slings are illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 Examples of construction 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Stability When shuttleless loom webbing is used, the weft shall be locked by an additional locking t
23、hread or by any other system, which guarantees that the edges cannot be unravelled when one of the yarns breaks.

24、joints) the visible area of stitching shall contrast with the tape in colour or surface appearance. 4.3 Tensile strength When tested in accordance with 5.3, the tensile strength shall be at least 22 kN. 5 Test methods 5.1 Stability Check the requirements of 4.1 using a test sample of 1 000 mm minimu
25、m length and cut one warp and one weft thread. 5.2 Stitching Carry out a visual examination to check that the requirements specified in 4.2 are met. 5.3 Tensile strength 5.3.1 Test sample One sample of the shortest length of the sling type shall be tested. The test shall always be carried out on an
26、unused test sample. 5.3.2 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 shall begin within 5 min of removal from
27、the conditioning atmosphere. 5.3.3 Determination of tensile strength Attach the test sample between two bars offering a contact radius of (5 0,05) mm to the sling and with a mean roughness value, Ra, not exceeding 0,8 m and a peak to valley height, Rmax, not exceeding 6,3 m. Determine the loading sp
28、eed, 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 free length in millimetres of the test sample overall laid out in the flat.

31、 at least the official language(s) of the state 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 566; c) meaning of any marking o
32、n the product; d) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; e) use of the product; f) how to choose other components for use in the system; g) how to maintain/service the product, on the effects of chemical reagents and how to disinfect the product without adverse
33、 effect; h) lifespan of the product or how to assess it and that after a serious fall the sling should be withdrawn from use as soon as possible; i) influence of wet and icy conditions; j) danger of sharp edges; k) influence of storage and aging due to use; l) influence of knots on the strength.
