The standard DIN EN ISO 10556 specifies the requirements for 3-strand hawser-laid, 8-strand and 12-strand braided ropes made of polyester in combination with polyolefin and it gives rules for their designation. In the standard a differentiation is made between three construction types (types A, L and T). For these construction types the linear density and the minimum breaking force related to the reference number of the rope are specified. This document (EN ISO 10556:2009) has been prepared by Working Group WG 21 "Ropes, cordage and netting" (secretariat: France) of Technical Committee ISO/TC 38 "Textiles" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). For the European work the responsible Working Group is WG 3 "Faserseile, Erntebindegarne und Fischnetze" ("Ropes and agricultural twines and fishing nets") of Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 "Textile and textile products" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). Regarding the German collaboration at DIN the responsible Working Committee is NA 132-01-08 AA "Faserseile" ("Fibre ropes") of the Shipbuilding and Marine Technology Standards Committee (NSMT).
This document replaces DIN EN 14686:2005-02 .
