Specifies requirements for steel wire ropes for all purposes, and includes tables giving linear mass and minimum breaking force against nominal diameter for each type of rope construction. It specifies materials, manufacture, marking, packing, and test requirements. Appendices give examples of the use of the designation system, sampling and acceptance criteria for type testing of ropes produced in series, some tables for minimum breaking forces, requirements of calculation of minimum breaking force, a specification for tests on wires taken from the rope, and information regarding rope grade equivalents.

This Australian Standard specifies minimum requirements for the manufacture and testing of stranded steel wire ropes for general purposes, including lifting equipment such as cranes and hoists. Ropes for slings are also dealt with, and tables giving minimum breaking forces for the more common sizes, grades and constructions of stranded rope presented. It is applicable to single-layer, rotation-resistant and parallel-closed ropes made from wires of uncoated (bright), zinc-coated and zinc-alloy coated finish. Additional requirements may apply for specific applications including, but not limited to the following:(a) Mining purposes.(b) Aircraft control.(c) The petroleum and natural gas industries.(d) Aerial ropeways and funiculars.(e) Lifts.NOTES:1 For rope grade equivalents see Appendix F.2 Standards relevant for the application of steel wire ropes are listed in Appendix G.
