Some energy absorption of these impact forces is also desirable, the amount usually a compromise with the acceptable errtension during normal working practice. 1 Scope This European Stan-

7、applies to low stretch textile ropes of kernmantel construction from 8,5 mm to 16 mm diameter, for use by persons in rope access including all kinds of work positioning and restsaint; for rescue and in speleoloa. Wo types of low stretch kernmantel rope are defined: A and B. The European Standard spe

8、cifies requirements, testing, marking and information to be supplied by the manufacturer including instnctions for use of such low stretch kernmantel ropes. NOTE 1 It is possible that rope not conforming to this European Standard may also be suitable for the activities described above. NOTE 2 Ropes

9、used for protection during any free climbing activity in rope access, rescue or speleology should take account of other standards, e.g. EN 892. Dynamic mountaineering rope may also be used for protection during rope access and work positioning. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorpora
