EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F1701 standard. This specification covers the requirements, dimensions, construction, tests and procedures for unused ropes for use by electrical installations and related industries on energized lines operating at voltages greater than 1 kV.

This specification covers the minimum electrical, mechanical and physical properties guaranteed by the manufacturer and detailed procedures for determining these properties. The buyer has the option to perform or perform any of these tests to validate the warranty. Claims of not meeting specification are subject to verification by the manufacturer.

The rope to which this specification applies is designed for use on or near energized lines in the clean and dry condition.

A margin of safety must be left between the maximum voltage and operating distances at which it is used and the test voltage and lengths at which it is tested.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
