Mountaineering Equipment: Accessory Cord - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The production and usage requirements for auxiliary cord used in mountaineering sports, specifically climbing, are outlined in the DIN EN 564 standard. The standard specifies standards for the auxiliary cord's design, structure, materials utilized, and performance for both the core and sheath.
The standard concentrates on using specific test procedures to guarantee the auxiliary cord's safety and dependability. These techniques, among other things, aid in determining the cord's strength, elongation, and resistance to abrasion. The standard includes both instances where the rope is delivered on a drum or in individual lengths.
The standard only applies to the auxiliary cord used in climbing sports; it excludes other kinds of cordage or ropes. This standard's adherence guarantees that producers follow the set safety standards and that climbers may rely on the cord's sturdiness and durability throughout their activities.
