This European Standard covers the manufacturing and type test requirements for swage terminals and the securing of such terminals to carbon and stainless steel wire ropes by a swaging process. This European Standard covers those swaged terminations that have a terminal efficiency factor, KT, of at least 0, 9. This standard covers terminals of the following types that are made of carbon or stainless steel. a) open swage socket (i.e. fork end); b) closed swage socket (i.e. loop end); c) swage terminal with thread (for length adjustment); and d) swage terminal end stop. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to swaged terminations, when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. The hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in Clause 4. This European Standard applies to swaged terminations which are manufactured after the date of its publication.
