EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12385-1 test. This standard specifies general requirements for the manufacture and testing of steel wire rope, the specific requirements of which are specified in other sections.

EN 12385-1 Steel Wire Ropes - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements

This part of this European standard has been prepared to supplement Chapters 4 to 10 dealing with the specific requirements of steel wire ropes for use in specific applications. Therefore, it cannot exist alone.

Release of a load due to failure of steel wire ropes directly or indirectly puts the safety or health of these ropes at risk.

To ensure the required strength and durability of steel wire ropes, other parts of this standard lay out specific requirements for materials, fabrication, physical dimensions, mechanical properties and testing to ensure specified performance levels are met.

Since failure can result from incorrect selection of specifications for steel wire ropes, other parts of this standard, in conjunction with this part, give specific requirements for marking and information that must be specified in the manufacturer's certificate.

If any rope subject to periodic testing fails to meet or exceed the minimum value, testing of one sample of each production length should continue until the manufacturer meets type-testing requirements.
