DIN EN ISO 10572:2010-04

The standard DIN EN ISO 10572 specifies requirements for 3-strand hawser-laid, 4-strand shroud-laid, 8-strand braided and 12-strand braided ropes made of mixed polyolefin fibres, and gives rules for their designation. In the standard a differentiation is made between four construction types (types A, B, L and T). 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 10572:2009) 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).
