19、007 (E) 4 Introduction The text of this European Standard is based on the former UIAA-Standard R (Union Internationale des Associations dAlpinisme), which has been developed with international participation. This European Standard is one of a package of standards for mountaineering equipment, see An

20、nex A. EN 569:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for pitons for use in mountaineering including climbing. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 piton device which, when inserted

21、into a rock crack by means of a hammer or equivalent device, provides an anchor NOTE Two parts can normally be identified in the piton: the head and the blade. 2.2 head part of the piton which contains the attachment point eye (or eyes) used for connection to the rope (via a connector) and which is

22、usually the part struck when inserting the piton 2.3 blade part of the piton which is inserted into the rock crack 2.4 length of the piton length of the blade measured in the direction of its insertion into the crack 2.5 pulling shackle tool used to apply the force in the test 2.6 safety piton piton

23、 which exhibits a high breaking force (see Table 1) and having a length of at least 90 mm 2.7 progression piton piton with a lower breaking force than safety pitons (see Table 1) 3 Safety requirements 3.1 Design 3.1.1 The eye shall be at least 3 mm thick (see Figure 1). 3.1.2 The internal edges of t

24、he eye shall be rounded with a radius larger than 0,2 mm or larger than 0,2 mm 45. See a) in Figure 1. EN 569:2007 (E) 6 Dimensions in millimetres a) Bevelled edges b) Rounded edges Figure 1 Attachment point eye dimensions 3.1.3 When tested according to 4.1, the eye shall have an internal diameter o

25、f at least 15 mm. See b) in Figure 1. 3.1.4 If pitons are made from heat treated steel with a hardness greater than 38 HRC they have to appear dark. Pitons which are made from all other materials and a hardness less than 22 HRC have to appear light. The head and the eye shall be free from burrs and

26、sharp edges. 3.2 Breaking force When tested in accordance with 4.2, the breaking force shall be not less than the appropriate value given in Table 1. Table 1 Minimum values of breaking force Breaking force F1F2F3Type kN kN kNSafety pitons 25 10 15 Progression pitons 12,5 5 7,5 F1is the normal direct

27、ion specified by the manufacturer; F2is the reverse direction; F3is the sideways direction (see Figures 2 and 3). 4 Test method 4.1 Examination of design The requirements according to 3.1 shall be tested by measurement or tactile examination on one test sample. EN 569:2007 (E) 7 4.2 Determination of

28、 breaking force 4.2.1 Test samples If a piton model is produced in different lengths, test only the shortest length in accordance with 4.2.5. For each test direction a new test sample is to be used. 4.2.2 Test conditions Carry out the test at a temperature of (23 5) C. 4.2.3 Apparatus The apparatus

29、shall consist of a) a vice for holding the piton at a pressure that does not lead to visible deformation of the test sample and with edges of the two jaws holding the piton rounded to a radius of (5 0,5) mm (see Figure 2). At least one of the jaws rotates in order to accommodate any tapered shape in

30、 the piton; b) a means of preventing extraction and rotation of the piton, e.g. one or two pins. Ensure that the outer hole drilled in the piton blade respectively the fixing system remains at least 20 mm from the outer surface of the jaw (see Figure 2); c) a pulling shackle, made of steel, with a d

31、iameter of (10 0,1) mm to apply a force on the piton, the part of this device which is nearest to the piton being as indicated in Figures 2 and 3. The shackle rotates freely around axes X and Y (see Figure 3), to allow free deformation of the piton. Dimensions in millimetres Figure 2 Part of the tes

32、t device (Example 1) EN 569:2007 (E) 8 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 3 Part of the test device (Example 2) 4.2.4 Preparation and positioning of test samples If necessary, drill holes in the piton and jaw of the vice to accommodate the holding pins. If this method of fixing is not feasible, use ot

33、her means as advised by the manufacturer. NOTE The manufacturer can provide means to prevent rotation during side pull, particularly in cases where only one pin can be used. Ensure that the holding system does not cause rupture of the piton. For positioning apply a force of (100 10) N to the pulling

34、 device in “F1“ direction with an initial distance of the line of action of the pulling force from the jaw surface of (20 0,5) mm (see Figure 2). If this cannot be achieved, use the smallest possible distance. Use the same distance for each direction of force. 4.2.5 Procedure Apply a force with a tr

35、action speed of (35 15) mm/min in the three following directions: a) normal direction (F1), specified by the manufacturer; b) reverse direction (F2); c) sideways direction (F3). EN 569:2007 (E) 9 If the piton is asymmetric, repeat the side pull in the opposing direction on an unloaded test sample. I

36、f the test sample does not break when a force of 30 kN has been reached, terminate the test and report a value of 30 kN. 5 Marking The head of each piton shall be marked with at least the following information: a) name of the manufacturer or its representative in the European Community; b) piton len

37、gth, expressed in centimetres rounded down to the nearest whole centimetre. Safety pitons shall be marked with the letter “S“ in a circle. If there is insufficient space on the head, the name or trademark of the manufacturer may be affixed to the piton blade. 6 Information supplied by the manufactur

38、er The piton shall be supplied with an explanatory leaflet, and written in at least the official language(s) of the state of destination within the European Community containing at least the following items; a) name and address of the manufacturer or its representative in the European Community; b)

39、number of this European Standard, i.e. EN 569; c) meaning of any markings on the product; d) explanation of the indication of length; e) explanation of the symbol “S“; f) information that the breaking force and the holding capacity of a piton placed in a rock will be reduced as time passes and that

40、multiple use of a piton may also reduce its strength; g) use of the product; h) how to choose other components for use in the system; i) how to maintain and service the product; j) lifespan of the product; k) effects of chemical reagents and temperature on the product.
