ISO 2307:2010 specifies, for ropes of different kinds, a method of determining each of the following characteristics:
linear density;
lay length;
braid pitch;
elongation;
breaking force.
The linear density, lay length and braided pitch are measured with the rope under a specified tension called the reference tension.
The elongation corresponds to the measured increase in length of the rope when the tension to which it is subjected is increased from an initial value (reference tension) to a value equal to 50 % of the minimum specified breaking strength of the rope.
The breaking force is the maximum force registered (or reached) during a breaking test on the test piece, carried out on a tensile testing machine with constant rate of traverse of the moving element. The breaking force values given in the tables of rope specifications are only valid when this type of testing machine is used.
ISO 2307:2010 also provides a method for measuring water repellency, lubrication and finish content, and heat setting treatment, when requested by the customer.

ISO 9554:2010 specifies the general characteristics of fibre ropes and their constituent materials. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the standards for the individual types of fibre rope, which cover the physical properties and specific requirements for that particular product type.
ISO 9554:2010 also gives some information on the use of fibre ropes and also on their inspection and retirement criteria.
ISO 9554:2010 does not intend to address all of the safety matters associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to select a rope type of the size and with the physical properties to meet the requirements of the application and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to its use.

1.1   This European Standard specifies, for ropes of different kinds, a method of determining each of the following characteristics:
- linear density;
- lay length;
- braided pitch;
- elongation;
- breaking force.
1.2   The linear density, lay length and braided pitch are measured with the rope under a specified tension called the reference tension as per Annex A.
1.3   The elongation corresponds to the measured increase in length of the rope when the tension to which it is subjected is increased from an initial value (reference tension) to a value equal to 50 % of the minimum specified breaking strength of the rope.
1.4   The breaking force is the maximum force registered (or reached) during a breaking test on the test piece, carried out on a tensile testing machine with constant rate of traverse of the moving element. The breaking force values given in the tables of rope specifications are only valid when this type of testing machine is used.
NOTE   When it is not possible to test the whole section of rope, the method described in Annex B can be used, subject to agreement between the parties involved.
1.5   This standard also provides a method for measuring water repellency, lubrication and finish content and heat setting treatment when  requested by the customer.
