BS EN 566:2017EN 566:2017 (E) 4 Introduction The text of this European st
19、andard is based on the former UIAA-Standard J (Union Internationale des Associations dAlpinisme), which has been developed with international participation. This European standard is one of a package of standards for mountaineering equipment, see Annex A. BS EN 566:2017EN 566:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This
20、 European standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for slings used for mountaineering including climbing. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 2.1 sling tape, accessory cord or rope joined together by stitching or other
21、means of fastening, whose shape and length are not specified to link other items in safety systems Note 1 to entry: Examples of construction of slings are illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 Examples of construction 3 Safety requirements 3.1 Stability When a woven tape is used, the weft yarn of the ta
22、pe shall not unravel when tested in accordance with 4.1. 3.2 Stitching Where stitching is used to provide safety and strength (e.g. in joints) it shall be possible to inspect it and the stitching shall contrast with the tape in colour or surface appearance. 3.3 Tensile strength When tested in accord
23、ance with 4.3, the tensile strength shall be at least 22 kN. BS EN 566:2017EN 566:2017 (E) 6 4 Test methods 4.1 Stability 4.1.1 Preparation Cut a sample of at least 200 mm in length of the woven tape from the sling without the influence of heat. Extract the weft yarns on both ends of the sample to a
24、llow the attachment of a test mass of 150 g 5 g (see Figure 2). Key 1 clamp 2 tape 3 warp yarns 4 weft yarns M M = 150 g 5 g Figure 2 Test method for stability 4.1.2 Test Fix the test sample vertically. Apply, without shock, the mass to the weft yarn of the lower end of the test sample for at least
25、1 min. Release the mass and check whether or not the weft yarn has unravelled. Repeat the test on the weft yarn of the other end of the test sample. 4.2 Stitching Carry out a visual examination to check that the requirements specified in 3.2 are met. 4.3 Tensile strength 4.3.1 Test sample One sample
26、 of the shortest length of the sling type shall be tested. The test shall always be carried out on an unused test sample. BS EN 566:2017EN 566:2017 (E) 7 4.3.2 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. T
27、hen 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. 4.3.3 Determination of tensile strength Attach the test sample between two bars offering a contact radius of (5
28、 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 speed, v, as a function of the free length of the test sample, using Formula (1): ( ) 0,5 0,1 / min vl= (1) where v is the loading speed in mi
29、llimetres per minute; l is the free length in millimetres of the test sample overall laid out in the flat. 5 Marking Slings shall be marked with at least the following items: a) name of the manufacturer or its authorized representative; b) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time
30、of manufacturing; c) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 566; d) year of manufacture. 6 Information supplied by the manufacturer The sling shall be supplied with an explanatory leaflet, and written in at least the official language(s) of the state of destination containing at least the followi
31、ng items: a) name and address of the manufacturer or its authorized representative; b) number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 566; c) meaning of any marking on the product; d) tensile strength which the manufacturer ensures at the time of manufacturing; e) use of the product; f) how to choose oth
32、er components for use in the system; g) how to maintain/service the product, on the effects of chemical reagents and how to clean the product without adverse effect; h) lifespan of the product and how to assess it and that after a serious fall the sling should be withdrawn from use as soon as possib
33、le; BS EN 566:2017EN 566:2017 (E) 8 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.
