What are the EU CE Certification Standards for Static Ropes Complying with EN 1891?

During testing, various methods are used to verify compliance with these standards. For static ropes, the primary control standard is EN 1891.

Below is a detailed explanation of the requirements for Type A ropes and Type B ropes:

Minimum Breaking Load Requirements:

Type A: Must withstand 22 kN.

Type B: Must withstand 18 kN.

Figure-Eight Knot Load-Bearing Requirements:

Type A rope: The figure-eight knot must support a load of 1500 kg for 3 minutes.

Type B rope: The figure-eight knot must support a load of 1200 kg for 3 minutes.

Fall Test with Fall Factor 1:Type A rope: Must withstand 5 successful falls with a load of 100 kg and a fall factor of 1.

Type B rope: Must withstand 5 successful falls with a load of 80 kg and a fall factor of 1.

Impact Force Requirement for Fall Factor 0.3:

Type A/B: The impact force must be less than 600 daN (6 kN) for a fall factor of 0.3.

Load Elongation Rate Requirement:

Type A/B: Elongation must be less than 5% under a load of 50–150 kg.

Core Share Requirement:

The core must account for 50%–70% of the rope’s composition.
