EN 1050:1996 Relevant clause of Annex A of
EN ISO 12100-2:2003 Relevant clause of this standard Insufficient instructions for the user of the steel wire ropes and the machinery manufacturer 1.7.4 4.4.1 5 5 Safety instructions and information for use and maintenance 5.1 General Information shall be provided on the subjects listed in 5.2 to 5.4. 5.2 Use and maintenance This information shall include temperature limits, use in exceptionally hazardous conditions, first use, handling and installation and maintenance. An example of such information is given in Annex A. 5.3 Rope selection For stranded ropes this information shall include guidance on rope construction in relation to abrasion and wear, type of core in relation to crushing of the rope at the drum, wire finish in relation to corrosion, direction of lay and type in relation to direction of coiling, rotational characteristics in relation to use of a swivel and fleet angle effects. An example of such information is given in Annex B. 5.4 Material health and safety information on steel wire rope and its component parts This information shall include details of all the individual materials that form part of the finished rope and general information relating to occupational protective measures, emergency medical procedures, safety (including any fire or explosion hazards) and disposal. An example of such information is given in Annex C.

(informative)
Example of general information for use and maintenance A.1 Limitations on use due to adverse environmental conditions A.1.1 Temperature A.1.1.1 Steel wire ropes made from carbon steel wires Account should be taken of the maximum temperature that may be reached by the wire rope in service. An underestimation of the temperature involved can lead to a dangerous situation. Stranded ropes with fibre cores or fibre centres can be used up to a maximum of 100 °C. Stranded ropes with steel cores and spiral ropes (i.e. spiral strand and locked coil) can be used up to 200 °C although some de-rating of the working load limit is necessary, the amount being dependent upon the exposure time at high temperature and the diameter of the wires. For operating temperatures between 100 °C and 200 °C the loss in strength may be assumed to be 10 %. For temperatures above 200 °C special lubricants may be necessary and greater losses in strength than stated above will need to be taken into account. The rope or machinery manufacturer should be contacted. The strength of steel wire ropes will not be adversely affected by operating temperatures as low as – 40 °C and no reduction from the working load limit is necessary; however, rope performance may be reduced, depending upon the effectiveness of the rope lubricant at low temperatures. When the rope is fitted with a termination, also refer to A.1.1.2. A.1.1.2 Terminations In addition to the limits stated above for rope, and unless otherwise specified by the rope manufacturer or the manufacturer of the machine, equipment or installation, the following operating temperatures must not be exceeded: Turn-back eye with aluminium ferrule: 150 °C Ferrule-secured eye with steel ferrule: 200 °C Socket filled with a lead-based alloy: 80 °C Socket filled with zinc or a zinc-based alloy: 120 °C Socket filled with resin – refer to resin socketing system designer’s instructions A.1.2 Use in exceptionally hazardous conditions In cases where exceptionally hazardous conditions are known to exist, e.g. offshore activities, the lifting of persons and potentially dangerous loads such as molten metals, corrosive materials or radio active materials a risk assessment should be carried out and the working load limit selected or adjusted accordingly.
