Specifies general design, performance and marking requirements for both three-strand hawser-laid and eight-strand plaited fibre ropes.

This Standard specifies manufacturing and performance requirements for three-strand hawser-laid and eight-strand plaited rope made from natural or man-made textile staple fibre, monofilament or multifilament yarn. Ropes made from the various natural and man-made textiles listed in Clause 6 are covered by this Standard.NOTES:1 Some hard-laid rope or rope manufactured for special requirements may not be able to meet all the requirements in this Standard.2 Advisory information on alternative methods of determining compliance of a lot with this Standard is given in Appendix A.3 Equivalent deadweight breaking loads are given in Appendix B.1 SCOPE This Standard specifies manufacturing and performance requirements for three-strand hawser-laid and eight-strand plaited rope made from natural or man-made textile staple fibre, monofilament or multifilament yarn.
