Overview

EN ISO 10556:2009 - Fibre ropes of polyester/polyolefin dual fibres - specifies requirements and designation rules for polyester/polyolefin dual-fibre ropes. The standard covers three construction types: 3‑strand hawser‑laid (type A), 8‑strand braided (type L) and 12‑strand braided (type T). It defines material requirements, yarn construction, physical properties (linear density and minimum breaking force), marking and conformity with delivery and packaging rules.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Materials
  • Polyester portion: continuous multifilament, industrial (high‑tenacity), heat- and light‑resistant.
  • Polyolefin portion: suitable tenacity; may be polypropylene or a mixture of polypropylene and polyethylene (PE content 15–50%).
• Yarn construction
  • Cover yarns: polyester fibres over a polyolefin core, containing ≥ 40% by mass polyester.
  • Interior yarns (if used) may be 100% polyolefin.
  • Higher‑strength (hs) ropes: all yarns use polyester covering a polyolefin core, with ≥ 40% polyester.
• Constructions allowed
  • Type A: 3‑strand hawser‑laid
  • Type L: 8‑strand braided
  • Type T: 12‑strand braided
• Physical properties
  • Specifies linear density (ktex) and minimum breaking force (kN) across reference diameters; values apply to new, dry and wet ropes.
  • Differentiates breaking force for unspliced ropes and eye‑spliced terminations.
  • Linear density measured under reference tension as specified in ISO 2307.
• Designation and marking
  • Designation includes: the words “fibre rope”, the standard number, rope type, reference number, materials and performance level (e.g., “(hs)”).
  • Example: Fibre rope ISO 10556 - A - 20 - polyester/polyolefin (hs)
  • Marking and delivery rules reference ISO 9554:2005.
• Referenced standards
  • ISO 1968 (vocabulary), ISO 2307 (testing), ISO 9554 (general specs).

Applications and users

• EN ISO 10556:2009 applies where polyester/polyolefin dual‑fibre ropes are specified for load‑bearing or handling tasks. Typical sectors and users:
  • Rope and cordage manufacturers (specification and quality control)
  • Procurement and engineering teams in marine, offshore, industrial lifting, towing and mooring operations
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies using ISO 2307 test methods
  • Specifiers drafting technical datasheets and contracts requiring consistent designation and performance data

Related standards

• ISO 1968 - Fibre ropes vocabulary
• ISO 2307 - Determination of physical/mechanical properties (used for linear density and breaking tests)
• ISO 9554:2005 - General specifications for fibre ropes

Keywords: EN ISO 10556:2009, fibre ropes, polyester/polyolefin, dual fibres, 3‑strand hawser‑laid, 8‑strand braided, 12‑strand braided, linear density, minimum breaking force, rope designation.

ISO 10556:2009(E) © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved iii Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
