Overview

EN 12385-8:2002 is the CEN European standard that specifies additional materials, manufacturing and testing requirements for stranded steel wire hauling and carrying‑hauling ropes used in cableway installations designed to carry persons. It supplements the general requirements of EN 12385‑1 and is intended as a harmonized standard to help meet EC safety requirements for passenger ropeways. The standard limits rope grade to a maximum of 1960 N/mm² and provides minimum breaking force and nominal length‑mass data for common rope classes in Tables 2–4.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and rope types: Covers stranded hauling and carrying‑hauling ropes for passenger cableways; stranded tension and ski‑tow ropes are covered by EN 12385‑4.
• Rope grades: Permitted rope grades range typically from 1570 to 1960 (1960 maximum).
• Minimum breaking force: Values for common classes, diameters and grades are given in Tables 2, 3 and 4; additional diameters can be calculated using Annex C.
• Core types permitted: fibre, solid polymer, non‑magnetic metallic covered with solid polymer, steel covered with solid polymer, or steel (IWRC/WSC).
• Manufacture & lubrication:
  • Lubrication generally limited to strands; lubricant requirements and tests are specified (Annex A).
  • Waviness limits and test method specified in Annex B (max waviness = 0.01·d + 0.2 mm over 3 lay lengths).
• Dimensional and mass tolerances:
  • Diameter: actual measured diameter under load must be within +1 % to +5 % of nominal; variation between measurements ≤ 4 %.
  • Length mass: manufacturer specifies nominal mass; measured mass tolerance −2 % to +5 %.
• Breaking force testing and verification: Manufacturer must perform breaking force tests (see EN 12385‑1 Method 1) and, for polymer‑covered cores, measured breaking force of whole rope reduced by core breaking force (6.8). Verification and inspection documentation requirements are defined.
• Hazards: Adds hazard of uncontrolled relative movement between rope and driving sheave (clause 4).

Practical applications & users

This standard is essential for:

• Cableway designers and manufacturers specifying hauling/carrying‑hauling ropes for passenger installations
• Rope producers and quality control teams (material, construction, testing)
• Installation contractors and maintenance engineers responsible for rope selection, inspection and record keeping
• Certification bodies and procurement teams ensuring compliance with EU directives and safety requirements
