Defines requirements for joints made in conveyor belting for use underground. It specifies performance requirements for the following properties: joints made with mechanical fasteners (static strength); joints made with mechanical fasteners (dynamic strength); joints made by chemical splicing/vulcanization (static strength); joints made by chemical splicing/vulcanization (dynamic strength).

This British Standard specifies requirements for joints made in conveyor belting for use underground.
It specifies performance requirements for the following properties:
- joints made with mechanical fasteners (static strength);
- joints made with mechanical fasteners (dynamic strength);
- joints made by chemical splicing/vulcanization (static strength);
- joints made by chemical splicing/vulcanization (dynamic strength).
The methods of test to be used to validate the requirements are specified in the annexes. This standard is not applicable or valid for light conveyor belts as specified in BS EN 873.
NOTE Although this standard is intended to specify the requirements for conveyor belting, the test methods specified in 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 can also be used to assess the performance of mechanical fasteners when used with specific types of conveyor belting. For this reason, an alternative test configuration is specified in Annex A.
