Textile slings - Safety - Part 4: Lifting slings for general service made from natural and man-made fibre ropes

This European Standard specifies the requirements related to safety, including methods of rating and testing single-, two-, three-, four-leg and endless slings, with or without fittings, made of sisal, hemp and manila 3- and 4-strand laid construction natural fibre ropes and polyamide, polyester and polypropylene 3- and 4-strand laid construction and 8-strand plaited construction man-made fibre ropes having a reference number in the range of 16 to 48 inclusive.
The fibre rope slings covered by this part of EN 1492 are intended for general purpose lifting operations, i.e. when used for lifting objects, materials or goods which require no deviations from the requirements, safety factors or working load limits specified. Lifting operations not covered by this standard would include the lifting of persons, potentially dangerous materials such as molten metal and acids, glass sheets, fissile materials, nuclear reactors and where special conditions apply.
Fibre rope slings conforming to this European Standard are suitable for use and storage in the following temperature ranges:
a) polyester and polyamide -40 °C to 100 °C,
b) manila, sisal, hemp and polypropylene -40 °C to 80 °C.
This European Standard does not apply to fibre rope sling assemblies rated by the trigonometric method.
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the use of fibre rope slings when carried out in accordance with the instructions and specification given by the manufacturer or authorized representative.

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Sicherheit sowie Verfahren zur Bewertung und Prüfung von 1 , 2-, 3-, 4 strängigen und endlosen Anschlagseilen, mit oder ohne Endbeschlagteilen aus Sisal, Hanf und Manila in 3- und 4 litziger gedrehter Faserseilmachart aus Polyamid, Polyester, und Polypropylen in 3  und 4 litziger gedrehter Machart sowie in 8 litziger geflochtener Chemiefaserseilmachart mit einem Seil-Nenndurchmesser im Bereich von 16 mm bis einschließlich 48 mm fest.
Die in diesem Teil von EN 1492 erfassten Anschlag-Faserseile sind für allgemeine Hebevorgänge vorge-sehen, d. h., wenn sie zum Anheben von Gegenständen, Werkstoffen oder Gütern verwendet werden, die keine Abweichungen von den festgelegten Anforderungen, Sicherheitsfaktoren oder Tragfähigkeiten erfordern. In dieser Norm nicht festgelegt werden das Anheben von Personen, von möglicherweise gefährlichen Werkstoffen wie geschmolzenem Metall und Säuren, Glasscheiben, spaltbarem Material, Teilen von Kernreaktoren und alle Hebevorgänge, für die Sonderbedingungen gelten.
Anschlag-Faserseile nach dieser Europäischen Norm sind für die Benutzung und Lagerung in den folgenden Temperaturbereichen geeignet:
a)   Polyester und Polyamid 40 °C bis 100 °C;
b)   Manila, Sisal, Hanf und Polypropylen 40 °C bis 80 °C.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Anschlag-Faserseileinheiten, die nach dem trigonometrischen Verfahren bewertet sind.
Diese Europäische Norm betrifft die technischen Anforderungen, um die in Abschnitt 4 aufgeführten Gefährdungen zu minimieren, die während der Verwendung von Anschlag-Faserseilen auftreten können, wenn nach den Anweisungen und Festlegungen, die vom Hersteller oder einem rechtmäßigen Vertreter angegeben werden, verfahren wird.

3.1 fibre rope sling flexible sling comprising one or more parts of identical fibre rope, terminating in spliced eyes with or without thimbles and fittings, or in the case of an endless sling, joined to itself with a splice
3.2 multi-leg sling fibre rope sling assembly, consisting of two, three or four identical legs attached to a master link
3.3 splice specified method of laying the tail end strands of the rope into the strands of the standing part of the rope to form an eye or join the ends of the rope together
3.4 soft eye eye made by forming the end of the rope into a loop and by splicing the free end to the standing part
3.5 thimbled or hard eye spliced eye containing a rigid thimble SIST EN 1492-4:2004+A1:2009

3.6 thimble rigid, shaped component for insertion into an eye for the purpose of protecting the eye from contact damage, abrasion and deformation, see Figure 1
a) Heart shaped b) Reeving Figure 1 — Thimble 3.7 fitting loadbearing metal component, designed to be fitted and supplied as part of the sling, so as to permit the sling to be attached to other lifting accessories or connected to the load NOTE Thimbles are not included within the term ‘fitting’. 3.8 master link link, or link assembly, forming the upper terminal fitting of a multi-leg sling assembly by means of which the sling assembly is attached to the hook of a crane, other lifting machine or accessory
3.9 reference number number quoted in documentation which specifies the mass/metre, breaking force and other parameters of the fibre rope. The reference number corresponds to the approximate diameter in millimetres; minimum breaking force in daN. NOTE See EN 696, 697, 698, 699 and 1261. 3.10 nominal diameter specified diameter of the rope, which is usually used as the reference value for a given product
3.11 nominal length specified length of the sling, inclusive of fittings, from bearing point to bearing point NOTE See figures 2 to 5.
3.12 effective working length (EWL) actual finished length of the fibre rope sling, inclusive of fittings, from bearing point to bearing point SIST EN 1492-4:2004+A1:2009

3.13 coefficient of utilization ratio of the specified tensile strength of the rope to the WLL of the single part of spliced rope, taking into account the acceleration due to gravity (9,80665 m/s2) and is equal to 7 NOTE 1 Fittings may have a different coefficient of utilization from that of the rope to which they are connected. NOTE 2 This term has the same meaning as the term ‘working coefficient’ used in the Machinery Directive. 3.14 Assembly Factor (A) factor used in the calculation of the WLL of the sling assembly that takes into account the assem
