Overview
SIST EN 12385-5:2021/oprA1:2024 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that focuses on the safety requirements for stranded steel wire ropes used in lifts. This standard specifies materials, manufacturing methods, and testing protocols for ropes employed in suspension, compensating, and governor roles in traction drive and hydraulic lifts operating between guides. Updates in this amendment refine technical specifications and remove certain legislative references, ensuring clear and updated guidance for industry compliance.
Key Topics
- Scope of application: Specifies stranded steel wire ropes intended for lift suspension, compensation, and governor duties, covering traction and hydraulic lift systems.
- Material and construction requirements: Defines acceptable steel grades and strand constructions for optimum strength and reliability.
- Performance testing: Establishes minimum breaking forces for common rope classes, sizes, and grades to ensure operational safety.
- Safety considerations: Identifies particular hazards related to stranded ropes in lifts (Clause 4), promoting risk mitigation during installation and use.
- Rope classification: Details rope constructions such as 8 × 19 with steel core, listing parameters like nominal diameter, metallic cross-sectional area, and breaking force values.
- Information for use: Provides updated tables and guidelines (Clause 7) to assist manufacturers and users in selecting and maintaining appropriate ropes.
- Regulatory references: Removes references to EU directives (Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) to focus on technical specifications alone.
Applications
SIST EN 12385-5:2021/oprA1:2024 is essential for stakeholders involved in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of lift systems, particularly:
- Lift manufacturers ensuring compliance with safety in rope selection and assembly.
- Maintenance and inspection professionals verifying rope integrity and lifespan.
- Engineers specifying ropes for hydraulic and traction lift systems, requiring clear parameters on rope construction and minimum breaking forces.
- Safety regulators and auditors applying standardized safety criteria to lift wire ropes.
- Rope manufacturers and suppliers producing stranded steel wire ropes aligned with latest safety standards.
By adhering to this standard, operators can minimize the risk of rope failure, enhancing the overall safety and reliability of passenger and goods lifts.
