The supporting jaws shall not rotate during the test. When testing chocks fitted with textile slings, the surface of the steel bar shall have an arithmetical mean deviation of the profile of Ra = 0,8 Rmax = 6,3 surface roughness requirements when testing chocks with a means of attachment made of other than textile material. For chocks with a horizontal non-parallel cross-section according to Figure 3, the supporting jaws shall have a groove adapted to the cross-section of the chock. SIST EN 12270:2013
