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.

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).

Introduction

Many mining companies, and many of the engineering companies that provide designs for mines,

operate globally so ISO 19426 was developed in response to a desire for a unified global approach to

the safe and robust design of structures for mine shafts. The characteristics of ore bodies, such as

their depth and shape, vary in different areas so different design approaches have been developed and

proven with use over time in different countries. Bringing these approaches together in ISO 19426 will

facilitate improved safety and operational reliability.

The majority of the material in ISO 19426 deals with the loads to be applied in the design of structures

for mine shafts. Some principles for structural design are given, but for the most part it is assumed that

local standards will be used for the structural design.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 19426-7:2021(E)
Structures for mine shafts —
Part 7:
Rope guides
1 Scope

This document specifies the design loads and the design procedures for the design of rope guides

and rubbing ropes used for guiding conveyances and preventing collisions in vertical mine shafts for

permanent operations. It covers personnel and material hoisting, as well as rock hoisting installations.

There are no fundamental limitations placed on the size of conveyances, the hoisting speeds, shaft

layout configurations, or the shaft depth.

This document can be applicable to shaft sinking operations when kibbles run on the stage ropes.

There are many reasons, based on technical, timing, and cost factors, why rope guides are selected

or not for a particular application, following careful assessment at feasibility stage of any project

where rope guides are considered. This document provides some comments regarding the advantages

and disadvantages of using rope guides compared to rigid guides, and specific design aspects for

consideration when using rope guides. However, it is primarily intended to provide the technical

information required to ensure good engineering of shafts where rope guided hoisting is the chosen

solution.
This document does not cover matters of operational safety.
