What is ISO/TS 23624 about?
ISO/TS 23624 gives guidance for the safe use of high-performance fiber ropes (HPFR) in crane applications. The mention of crane applications implicitly includes winch applications.
ISO/TS 23624 covers performance criteria and the necessary evaluation to enable selection of HPFR as well as best practice guidelines on procedures, testing, and maintenance to safely operate HPFR in crane applications including provisions for assembly/disassembly.
The performance criteria are related to tasks performed when using cranes as intended, including assembly/disassembly, operation, and required checks and maintenance .
