Terminations for steel wire ropes - Safety - Part 2: Splicing of eyes for wire rope slings
This standard specifies minimum requirements for the splicing of eye terminations for six or eight strand steel wire ropes of up to 60 mm diameter complying with prEN 12385-4 used for slings to ensure that the spliced eye is strong enough to withstand a force of at least 80 % of the minimum breaking load of the rope.
Other hazards covered by this standard are identified in clause 4. Resistance to fatigue loading is not considered to be a significant hazard for slings and is not covered by this standard.

Diese Norm legt Mindestanforderungen für das Spleißen von Schlaufen bei 6 oder 8 litzigen Drahtseilen aus Stahldraht nach EN 12385 4 bis zu einem Durchmesser von 60 mm, die für Anschlagseile verwendet werden, fest, um sicherzustellen, dass die Schlaufe fest genug ist, um eine Kraft von mindestens 80 % der Mindest¬bruchkraft des Seiles zu ertragen.
Andere Gefährdungen, die durch diese Norm abgedeckt werden, sind in Abschnitt 4 angegeben. Versagen durch Ermüdung wird nicht als eine für Anschlagseile charakteristische Gefährdung angesehen und wird in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.

Overview
EN 13411-2:2001+A1:2008 is a CEN European standard that specifies minimum safety requirements for the splicing of eye terminations (hand-spliced eyes) in six- or eight-strand steel wire ropes (up to 60 mm diameter) used as wire rope slings. The standard ensures that a correctly made spliced eye will have an efficiency of at least 80% of the minimum breaking load of the rope. It addresses key hazards (for example accidental load release and puncture), inspection and verification requirements, and personnel competence. Resistance to fatigue loading is explicitly not covered.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to spliced eye terminations for six- and eight-strand ropes complying with prEN 12385-4, diameter ≤ 60 mm.
- Splice efficiency: Spliced eye must withstand at least 80% of the rope’s minimum breaking load.
- Number of tucks: Each strand in the splice shall have five series of load-carrying tucks; at least three of these tucks must be made with the full strand, the remainder with strands comprising at least 50% of the wires.
- Direction of tucks: Load-carrying tucks must be made against the lay of the rope.
- Ropes with steel wire rope core: The core must be unlaid at the start of the splice and spliced with the outer strands for three tucks; core tail ends must not protrude from the splice.
- Protruding wires: Any protruding wires must be eliminated (e.g., serving, reinsertion, or heat-shrink covering), and serving must not cover the three full-strand load-carrying tucks.
- Verification & inspection: Visual inspection confirms number and direction of tucks, absence of protruding tails. Verification must be carried out by a competent person (trained and experienced).
- Safety context: Supports conformity with Essential Requirements of Machinery Directives (see informative Annexes ZA and ZB).
Applications and users
- Who uses it: rope splice technicians (splicers), sling manufacturers, lifting equipment suppliers, inspection bodies, quality managers, procurement officers specifying slings to meet safety and legal requirements.
- Practical uses: writing purchase specifications, training and qualification criteria for splicers, inspection and acceptance procedures, internal QA checks (e.g., EN ISO 9001–based suppliers), and demonstrating presumption of conformity with Machinery Directive requirements for lifting products.
