DIN EN ISO 10554:2010-04

This standard DIN EN ISO 10554 specifies the requirements for double braided ropes and for higher strength double braided ropes made of polyamide and gives rules for their designation. In the standard a differentiation is made between two levels of strength PA and Pa (hs). For these construction types the linear density and the minimum breaking force related to the reference number of the rope are specified. This document (EN ISO 10554:2009) has been prepared by Working Group WG 21 "Ropes, cordage and netting" (secretariat: France) of Technical Committee ISO/TC 38 "Textiles" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). For the European work the responsible Working Group is WG 3 "Faserseile, Erntebindegarne und Fischnetze" ("Ropes and agricultural twines and fishing nets") of Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 "Textile and textile products" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). Regarding the German collaboration at DIN the responsible Working Committee is NA 132-01-08 AA "Faserseile" ("Fibre ropes") of the Shipbuilding and Marine Technology Standards Committee (NSMT).
