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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of any patent
rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of
patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL:

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10325: 2018), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Clause 2: use undated references instead of dated references;
— Clause 4: revise the description of designation;
— Clause 5: revise the description of material;
— Clause 6: revise figure 1 and adjust the layout of the figures;
— Clause 7: revise the description of physical properties;

Fibre ropes — High modulus polyethylene — 8-strand
braided ropes, 12-strand braided ropes and covered ropes
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for 8-strand braided ropes, for 12-strand braided ropes, and for
covered rope constructions (single braid, double braid and multi-core construction) for general purpose
made of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE), and gives rules for their designation.
Many different types and grades of HMPE fibre exist which are commonly used to produce rope products.
This document does not cover all variations in strength or product performance. The rope manufacturer
and rope user shall align to ensure the rope design is fit for the intended purpose.
NOTE Safety of a rope is determined by the manufacturer as well as the user. A rope is fit for the intended purpose
if the manufacturer properly engineers, manufacturers, tested and integrates the rope. Only when the user applies,
operates, inspects the rope and have it properly maintained a rope fit for the intended purpose is fit for the intended
service.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes
requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 1968, Fibre ropes and cordage — Vocabulary
ISO 2307, Fibre ropes — Determination of certain physical and mechanical properties
ISO 9554, Fibre ropes — General specifications
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1968 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
cover, jacket
braided cover or other protective layer, which is placed over the rope core
Note 1 to entry: The cover has no significant contribution to the rope strength.
3.2
heat-set rope
rope with properties that have been modified by applying heat simultaneously with the addition of a
controlled strained force
ISO/DIS 10325:2025(en)
4 Designation
Fibre ropes shall be designated by the following:
— the words “fibre rope”;
— the number of this document, i.e. ISO 10325;
— the construction or type of the rope (see Clause 6);
— the reference number of the rope;
— the material from which the rope is made;
— the type of stabilization (type 1 or type 2 in accordance with ISO 9554).
HMPE ropes that have been heat set are designated as type 1 ropes. HMPE ropes that have not been heat set
are designated as type 2 ropes.
EXAMPLE Designation of a 12-strand braided rope, reference number 20 (type T), corresponding to a linear
density of 232 ktex made of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) that has not been heat set:
Fibre rope ISO 10325 - T - 20 - HMPE - 2
5 Material
5.1 The ropes, or load bearing core of the rope, shall be made of continuous filament HMPE fibres.
5.2 Overlay finishes and coatings are applied on the yarn, strand or rope making ropes fit for the intended use.
5.3 Concerning covered ropes, the cover may consist of a variety of fibre materials, for example, polyester
(PET PES), polyolefins polypropylene (PP), high modulus polyethylene (HMPE), and may be of varying
thicknesses, depending on the requirements of the application. The type and level of protection depends
on cover construction (e.g. type of fiber(s), thickness, and applied coatings). Core constructions may vary
significantly also and include such designs as a single core or multiple cores. Consult the rope manufacturer
to ensure the intended cover design is fit for the intended application.
5.4 The typical characteristics of high modulus polyethylene fibre are indicated in ISO 9554, Table A.1.
5.5 Heat setting may be done on HMPE ropes in order to increase the break strength per unit weight. A
rope that has been heat set will have higher break strength for the same diameter as a non-heat-set rope,
however the overall life time of the rope may be decreased. Consult the rope manufacturer to ensure the
intended design meets the requirements of the application. Properties of heat-set ropes are not included in
this document.
NOTE 1 Ropes constructed from 100 % HMPE fibres float. However, covered HMPE ropes can have a higher specific
gravity and might sink.
NOTE 2 HMPE fibres have a low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance. The coefficient of friction can
be altered by applying suitable coatings.
Different HMPE fibre grades may have different creep properties. If requested, the manufacturer shall
provide information about creep properties.
