Specifies the particular materials, manufacturing and testing requirements for stranded steel wire 'hauling' and 'carrying-hauling' ropes for cableway installations designed to carry persons.

This European Standard specifies the additional materials, manufacturing and testing requirements to those given in Part 1 for stranded steel wire \'hauling\' and \'carrying-hauling\' ropes for cableway installations designed to carry persons. The rope grade is limited to 1960. Minimum breaking force values for the more common classes, sizes and grades of rope are provided in Tables 2, 3 and 4. Stranded tension ropes and ski-tow ropes for surface lifts are covered by prEN 12385-4. The additional hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4.
