It supersedes BS 3367:1980 which is withdrawn. The previous edition of this standard, BS 3367:1980, specified ropes and lines fo
12、r both fire brigade and industrial purposes. However, in this fourth edition of BS 3367, the scope is limited solely to fire service ropes and lines. Natural-fibre ropes have been excluded from this standard in the light of the superior performance of synthetic rope material currently available. Ann
13、exes A, B, C and D are normative and annex E is informative. A British Standard does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from leg
14、al obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 14, an inside back cover and a back cover. The BSI copyright notice displayed in this document indicates when the document was last issued. BSI 10-1999 1 BS 3367:1999 1 Scope Thi
15、s British Standard specifies requirements for ropes to be used in the manufacture of fire service lowering lines, rescue lines, tail lines, guy lines, belt lines and general purpose lines, and also specifies some aspects of the make-up of these lines. Ropes used in conjunction with specialist rope r
16、escue equipment, such as those associated with mountaineering and caving activities where mechanical devices are used, are excluded. Guidelines and personal lines for use with breathing apparatus are also excluded. In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items det
17、ailed in clause 4 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Brit
