Scope

This document specifies requirements for 8-strand braided ropes, for 12-strand braided ropes, and for covered rope constructions (single braid, double braid and multi-core construction) for general purpose made of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE), and gives rules for their designation.

Many different types and grades of HMPE fibre exist which are commonly used to produce rope products. This document does not cover all variations in strength or product performance. The rope manufacturer and rope user shall align to ensure the rope design is fit for the intended purpose.

NOTE Safety of a rope is determined by the manufacturer as well as the user. A rope is fit for the intended purpose if the manufacturer properly engineers, manufacturers, tested and integrates the rope. Only when the user applies, operates, inspects the rope and have it properly maintained a rope fit for the intended purpose is fit for the intended service.
