Introduction
This European Standard is a Type C Standard as stated in EN 1070
This European Standard has been prepared to provide a means of conforming with the essential requirements of
the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
Purchasers ordering to this standard are advised to specify in their purchasing contract that the supplier operates
an independently verified quality assurance system to ensure themselves that products claimed to comply
consistently achieve the required level of quality.
It is understood that type testing of a ferrule-secured eye termination system is the responsibility of the ferrule-
secured eye termination system designer.
It is also understood that the ferrule supplier is responsible for ensuring that the material, design and quality of the
ferrule is in accordance with the ferrule-secured eye system designer’s specification.
Ferrule-secured eyes manufactured by the ferrule-secured eye termination producer in accordance with this
standard are permitted for use as rope terminations in the production of steel wire rope slings. They are also used
as terminations for steel wire rope assemblies for raising, lowering and supporting loads.
The steel wire rope terminations concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for steel wire rope

4 List of hazards
This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in
this standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of steel wire rope termination and which
require action to eliminate or reduce the risk.
Accidental release of a load due to failure of a FSET puts at risk either directly or indirectly the safety or health of
those persons within the danger zone.
Table 1 contains those hazards that require action to minimise risk identified by risk assessment as being specific
and significant for ferrule-secured eyes and endless loops.

The ferrule-secured system shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protection measures of this clause.
In addition the ferrule-secured systems shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for relevant
hazards but not significant, which are not dealt with in this document.
The ferrule-secured system designer shall carry out type testing in accordance with 5.1.2.

EN 13411-3:2004 (E)
5.1.2 Type testing
5.1.2.1 Sampling
Where the ferrule design follows a mathematical progression throughout a given size range, rope diameter shall be
selected for testing to represent the lower and upper quartiles of that range.
Where the ferrule design does not follow a mathematical progression throughout a given size range, each rope
diameter within that range for which the system is designed shall be selected for testing.
For each rope diameter selected as above, the rope grade shall be the highest for which the system is designed
and at least three FSETs or three ferrule secured endless loops, whichever is the case, shall be tested.
NOTE 1 In the case of the FSET the number of tests is regarded as two when the test lengths have a FSET at both ends.
Additionally, sampling shall take into account whether the type of ferrule-secured termination is a turn-back eye or
Flemish eye or whether it is an endless loop, as follows:
a) Turn-back eye ferrule secured-termination
Testing shall be carried out on each of the basic rope types for which the system is designed. For each basic
rope type, testing shall be carried out on ropes having the lowest and highest metallic cross-sectional area
factors for which the system is designed.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this standard there are four basic rope types, namely single layer rope, rotation-resistant rope,
parallel-closed rope and spiral strand rope, refer EN 12385-2 for definitions.
b) Flemish-eye ferrule-secured termination
Testing shall be carried out on single layer rope having the lowest and highest metallic cross-sectional area
factors for which the system is designed.
c) Ferule-secured endless loop
Testing shall be carried out on single layer rope having the lowest and highest metallic cross-sectional factor for
which the system is designed
5.1.2.2 Tensile test
When tested in accordance with 6.2 the FSET shall sustain a force of at least 90% of the minimum breaking force
of the rope.
NOTE A terminal efficiency of 90% is equivalent to a termination efficiency factor, K , of 0,9 which is used in the calculation
T
of WLL for slings
When tested in accordance with 6.2 the ferrule-secured endless loop shall sustain a force of at least 90% of twice
the minimum breaking force of the rope.
5.1.2.3 Fatigue test
When tested in accordance with 6.3 for 75 000 cycles followed by a tensile test in accordance with 6.2 the FSET
and endless loop shall sustain a force of at least 80% of the minimum breaking force of the rope.
Additionally for Flemish eye ferrule-secured terminations of crane hoist ropes a further fatigue test shall be
performed on an assembly comprising a solid thimble having a peripheral length equivalent to at least four rope lay
6
lengths. When tested in accordance with 6.4 the ferrule-secured termination shall withstand a minimum of 1x10
cycles and not exhibit a complete strand fracture.

5.1.3 Instructions to be provided by the ferrule-secured system designer
The ferrule-secured system designer shall provide instructions on at least the following:
a) preparation of the rope end;
b) details of the rope(s) for which the system is designed;
c) matching of the ferrule material and size to the rope diameter and type;
d) positioning of the rope end;
e) procedure for ferrule-securing, i.e. pressing the ferrule;
f) alignment, condition and maintenance of the tooling;
g) procedure for removal of fins
h) dimensional requirements of the pressed ferrule;
i) marking limitations of the ferrule; and
j) temperature limits of the ferrule secured system.
5.2 Ferrules
5.2.1 Material
The material selected by the ferrule manufacturer shall be non-alloy carbon steel or aluminium and shall conform to
the same specification as that used by the ferrule-secured system designer when satisfying the type tests.
Non-alloy carbon steel shall be a fully-killed non-ageing normalized steel.
Aluminium shall be in condition F according to EN 515.
5.2.2 Dimensions
The dimensions of the ferrule shall be in accordance with those used by the ferrule-secured system designer when
satisfying the type tests.
5.2.3 Manufacture and quality control of ferrule
The tube from which ferrules are made shall be free from any cracks, folds and surface defects.
With the exception of steel ferrules for Flemish eyes, ferrules shall be produced to provide a seam-free hollow
product. Extrusion over mandrels with a bridge shall not be used. Electric resistance welding of steel tubes may
only take place for flemish eyes and shall be carried out prior to the tube drawing and normalizing processes.
For each batch of steel ferrules produced from the same cast of steel and heat treatment a sample ferrule shall be
selected and close flattened at ambient temperature, see figure 1. If the sample fails this test a further ten (10) or
3% of the batch of ferrules, whichever is the greater, shall be randomly selected, and all shall pass the flattening
test otherwise the whole batch shall be rejected.

5.2.4 Certificate
The ferrule manufacturer shall supply a certificate stating that the whole batch of ferrules conforms to the ferrule
secured system designer’s specification.
5.2.5 Marking
Each ferrule shall be marked with its size and the ferrule manufacturer’s name or mark except in the case of
ferrules for use with ropes smaller than 8mm diameter where the marking can be on the package.
5.3 Ferrule-securing
5.3.1 General
The procedure adopted by the manufacturer of the ferrule-secured eye termination or endless loop shall be in
accordance with 5.3.2 to 5.3.5 and the instructions provided by the ferrule-secured system designer.
Ferrule-securing shall be carried out by a competent person trained in ferrule-securing.
5.3.2 Matching of ferrule to wire rope
Determine the rope details from the documentation supplied with the rope, see EN 12385-1 and ensure that the
rope is within the scope of the ferrule-secured system as detailed by the ferrule-secured system designer. In some
cases it will also be necessary to determine the nominal metallic cross-sectional area factor of the rope, refer EN
12385 parts 4,5 & 10.
Follow the ferrule-secured system designer’s instructions to select the appropriate ferrule size, taking into account
the nominal or measured diameter of the rope, whichever is applicable.
