BS EN 13796 discusses safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons for Carriers. BS EN 13796-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that outlines the slipping resistance tests for grips in carriers designed to carry persons. BS EN 13796-2 applies to the various types of installations and considers their environment.
Under BS EN 13796-2 the requirements to be met when testing the slipping resistance of grips clamped
Note: BS EN 13796-2 does not apply to installations for the transportation of goods nor to lifts.
BS EN 13796-2 on slipping resistance tests for grips in carriers is useful for:
The cableway is a system for hoisting and hauling bulk materials, consisting of a cable or pair of cables suspended between two towers, on which travels a carriage from which a bucket is suspended: used in carrying persons heavy construction work, in storage plants, etc.
BS EN 13796-2 guideline assists you with parts to be tested, information to be provided by the manufacturer, examination before the test, test requirements, slipping resistance force, the conclusion of the test, evaluation of test results, and test report for slipping resistance tests for grips on cableway installations designed to carry persons.
This supports the user to conduct slipping resistance tests for grips in carriers effectively to provide reliable result that is comparable to other test centers.
