Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The procedures concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type B standards,
the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for
machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The methods of socketing described in this standard are based on established procedures and following
them is considered to result in a rope termination having an efficiency of 100 % based on the minimum
breaking force of the rope.
It is assumed that the socket is:
— suitable for heating without changing the characteristics of the socket material when the socketing
medium is molten metal;
— strong enough for the rope;
— suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
1 Scope
This document specifies the minimum requirements for the molten metal and resin socketing of steel
wire ropes within the scopes of EN 12385-4:2002+A1:2008; EN 12385-5:2021; EN 12385-6:2004;
EN 12385-7:2002; EN 12385-8:2002; EN 12385-9:2002 and EN 12385-10:2003+A1:2008.
The document is applicable only to those requirements that ensure that the socketing is strong enough
to withstand a force of at least 100 % of the minimum breaking force of the rope (i.e. socket termination
efficiency factor K = 1,0).
T
NOTE Rope terminations made by socketing in accordance with this document can be used for determining
the breaking force of wire ropes in accordance with EN 12385-1:2002+A1:2008, Annex A.
Socketing by the methods and materials described in this standard are for use within the temperature
limits given in normative Annex E.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to metal and
resin socket terminations, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable (see Clause 4).

4 List of significant hazards
This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events for the molten metal
and resin socketing of steel wire ropes within the scopes of EN 12385-4:2002+A1:2008;
EN 12385-5:2021; EN 12385-6:2004; EN 12385-7:2002; EN 12385-8:2002; EN 12385-9:2002 and
EN 12385-10:2003+A1:2008, as far as these hazards are dealt with in this document, identified by risk
assessment as significant for socket terminations that require action to eliminate or reduce risk.
In particular, the hazard caused by accidental release of a load due to failure of the socketed portion of a
socketed rope termination puts at risk, either directly or indirectly, the safety or health of those persons
within the danger zone.
In order to provide the necessary strength of the socketed portion of a socketed termination, this
document gives requirements for the method of socketing to ensure specified levels of performance are
met.
Table 1 contains those hazards that require action to reduce risk identified by risk assessment as being
specific and significant for socketed termination assemblies.
