Abstract

This European Standard 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 12385-5:2002; EN 12385-6:2004;
EN 12385-7:2002; EN 12385-8:2002; EN 12385-9:2002 and EN 12385-10:2003+A1:2008.
The European Standard 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 KT = 1,0).
NOTE   Rope terminations made by socketing in accordance with this European Standard 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 European Standard 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).

3.11 socketing system designer person or organization that designs the socketing system and assumes responsibility for type testing 3.12 socketing manufacturer person or organization that manufactures socketed terminations in accordance with the socketing system designer’s instructions 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 12385-5:2002;
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 European Standard, 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 European Standard 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.
