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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 9554 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 38, Textiles.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9554:2005), which has been technically
revised.

7.2 Labelling
Each coil shall have a label, which is firmly fixed in place, giving the following information:
⎯ constituent material;
⎯ identification of manufacturer and country of origin;
⎯ reference number;
⎯ delivered length;
⎯ declaration of conformity to this International Standard relating to the constituent material (e.g. “in
accordance with ISO 9554”).
8 Packaging, invoicing and delivered length
8.1 Packaging and invoicing
8.1.1 The packaging unit may be a reel, a coil, a hank, a box, a bag or as specified by the purchaser.
8.1.2 The finished rope shall be supplied in a package, so that it can be dispensed freely without
entanglement of any kind.
8.1.3 Either the unit mass or the length may be used to invoice the rope. When the gross mass is used for
invoicing, the mass of the packaging shall not exceed 1,5 % of the gross mass of the rope.
8.2 Delivered length
8.2.1 Standard delivered length
The length of the coil shall be determined by dividing the mass of the coil by the mass per metre of the rope,
determined in accordance with ISO 2307.
The limit deviation on delivered length shall be
⎯ −5 % for ropes with a reference number less than or equal to 14, or
⎯ −3 % for ropes with a reference number greater than 14,
on condition that the gross mass corresponding to the delivered length is not less than the product of the
minimum linear density and the theoretical delivered length.
Standard delivered lengths are the following:
100 m; 183 m; 200 m; 220 m; 366 m.
Other lengths may be supplied for special orders.
8.2.2 Shorter delivered length due to sampling
To carry out testing at the request of the purchaser, test pieces may be taken from the ordered length of rope.
The length of rope delivered shall then be less than the ordered length because of these test pieces (which
are considered to be part of the delivery).
In the event that a specific length is required and testing is required, the purchaser may be invoiced the
additional length or mass of the rope required to perform such testing.
