The standard EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025 is an essential document that delineates the materials, manufacturing processes, and testing protocols pertinent to stranded ropes, particularly for elevator applications. Its scope is explicitly tailored to safety, focusing on stranded ropes used for suspension, compensating, and governor duties within traction drive and hydraulic lifts, as well as other similar applications. One of the strengths of this standard is its comprehensive approach to addressing specific hazards associated with these types of steel wire ropes. By identifying potential risks in Clause 4, the standard provides a proactive framework for ensuring safety in lift operations. This is crucial in an industry where the reliability of tools and materials directly impacts user safety. The standard's inclusion of minimum breaking force values for various classes, sizes, and grades of rope-detailed in Tables 6 to 10-is another significant strength. This guidance aids manufacturers and users alike in selecting appropriate materials that meet safety and performance expectations. Moreover, by excluding requirements for ropes fitted with terminations, the standard maintains its focus on the specific components that directly affect the performance of stranded ropes in the context of lifts. Overall, EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025 remains an authoritative resource designed to enhance safety and reliability in the use of steel wire ropes for various lifting applications. It emphasizes the importance of compliance with safety standards in the manufacturing and testing of these critical components, ensuring that only the best practices are applied in the industry.
標準EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025は、エレベーター用のストランドロープに関連する安全基準を明確に定めています。このドキュメントの範囲は、牽引式や油圧式エレベーターにおける吊り下げ、補償、ガバナ業務用のストランドロープに必要な特定の材料、製造および試験要件を含むものです。特に、乗り物がガイド間を移動する場合の要求を満たす重要な要素が詳述されています。 この標準の強みは、Clause 4で特定された特有の危険に対して明確なガイダンスを提供し、業界のベストプラクティスとの整合性を確保している点にあります。この標準は、エレベーター業界の専門家にとって、リスク管理および安全性の向上に寄与する重要なリソースとなります。 また、表6から10にかけて、一般的なクラス、サイズ、およびグレードのロープに対する最小破断力の値が提供されており、これによりユーザーは適切な材料選択を行い、使用中の安全性を確保するための具体的な数値を容易に参照することができます。これらの情報は、実際のアプリケーションにおいて非常に重要であり、標準の実用性を高めています。 EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025は、エレベーター用ストランドロープに対する要求に特化したものですが、Clause 7に記載されている使用に関する情報を除いては、その他の情報提供の要件を確立していない点にも注意が必要です。このように、特定のリスクをカバーしつつ、過剰な要求を避けることで、実用的かつ柔軟な運用を実現しています。 総じて、標準EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025は、エレベーター業界における安全性を確保するための基盤を提供しており、その範囲と強みは、関係者にとって不可欠な情報源となるでしょう。
Die Norm EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025 befasst sich mit der Sicherheit von Drahtseilen und legt spezifische Materialien, Herstellungs- und Prüfanforderungen für Strangseile fest, die für Aufzugsanwendungen verwendet werden. Diese Norm ist besonders relevant für die Herstellung von Seilen, die für die Aufhängung, Kompensation und Stufenregelung von Aufzügen genutzt werden, die durch Führungen bewegen. Sie berücksichtigt die besonderen Gefahren, die in Abschnitt 4 der Norm aufgeführt sind, und bietet eine umfassende Grundlage für die Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von Aufzugssystemen.

La norme SIST EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025 constitue un document essentiel pour la sécurité et la fiabilité des câbles métalliques utilisés dans les systèmes de levage. Son champ d'application précise les matériaux, les exigences de fabrication et de test pour les cordes toronnées destinées aux fonctions de suspension, de compensation et de gouverneur des ascenseurs à traction et hydrauliques, se déplaçant entre des guides et des applications similaires. Parmi ses forces, cette norme se distingue par son approche détaillée de l'identification des dangers particuliers, énoncés dans la Clause 4. Cela permet aux fabricants et aux utilisateurs de mieux comprendre les risques associés aux câbles et de maximiser la sécurité dans leur utilisation quotidienne. De plus, elle fournit des valeurs minimales de force de rupture pour les classes, tailles et grades de câbles les plus courants, énumérées dans les Tables 6 à 10, ce qui est un atout indéniable pour les professionnels afin d’assurer le respect des normes de sécurité lors de la sélection des câbles. L'importance de la norme SIST EN 12385-5:2021+A1:2025 réside également dans sa capacité à s'adapter à diverses applications industrielles tout en garantissant un niveau élevé de sécurité. Bien que ce document ne traite pas des exigences d'information pour une utilisation autre que celles énoncées dans la Clause 7 de la Partie 1 et ne couvre pas les exigences pour les cordes équipées de terminaisons, son contenu est suffisamment riche pour devenir une référence incontournable dans le secteur des ascenseurs. En somme, cette norme représente un cadre normatif crucial qui garantit non seulement la sécurité des utilisateurs mais également la durabilité et la fiabilité des équipements de levage, ce qui en fait un document fondamental pour tous les acteurs concernés par l'utilisation des câbles métalliques dans les ascenseurs.
