Full title and description

ISO 10247:1990/Amd 1:2006 — Conveyor belts — Characteristics of covers — Classification (Amendment 1, published January 2006). This document is an amendment to ISO 10247:1990 that updates or clarifies the classification and associated requirements for conveyor-belt cover materials and their characteristic properties.

Abstract

This amendment modifies ISO 10247:1990, which establishes a classification system for cover materials of general-purpose conveyor belts (textile- or steel‑cord‑cored). The classification specifies combinations of significant cover characteristics and references the test methods used to determine them; it is intended to guide selection and comparison of belt covers while noting that test results do not automatically predict in-service performance.

General information

• Status: Published (Amendment to ISO 10247:1990)
• Publication date: January 2006 (ISO 10247:1990/Amd 1:2006)
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• ICS / categories: 53.040.20
• Edition / version: Amendment 1 to Edition 1 (ISO 10247:1990)
• Number of pages: 1 (amendment document)

Scope

The amendment applies to the original ISO 10247:1990 classification of conveyor-belt covers and provides revisions or clarifications to the classification criteria and related explanatory text. Its scope is limited to cover characteristics (e.g., abrasion resistance, ozone/ageing behaviour, oil resistance and other cover‑property combinations) and associated determination methods as used for specifying and comparing cover types for general-purpose conveyor belts.

Key topics and requirements

• Revisions or clarifications to cover-characteristic definitions used in ISO 10247:1990.
• Specification of meaningful combinations of principal cover characteristics for classifying covers.
• Reference to standardized test methods for determining cover properties (abrasion, ageing, oil resistance, etc.).
• Guidance that laboratory test results are aids for selection and comparison but do not by themselves guarantee in-service performance.

Typical use and users

This amendment and the underlying ISO 10247 standard are used by conveyor-belt manufacturers, material suppliers, OEMs, procurement professionals, test laboratories and engineers specifying belts for bulk‑handling and general material‑transport applications. It helps users select appropriate cover types, write product specifications, and compare test results between suppliers.

Related standards

ISO 10247:1990 (base standard) — this amendment; related rubber and conveyor test standards (for example standards for abrasion resistance, accelerated ageing, oil resistance and tensile properties) are commonly referenced alongside ISO 10247 when specifying belt covers.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10247:1990/Amd 1:2006 is Amendment 1 (published January 2006) to ISO 10247:1990. It updates or clarifies aspects of the classification of conveyor-belt cover characteristics.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The amendment covers modifications to the cover-characteristic classification scheme in ISO 10247:1990 and references the methods for determining the cover properties used in that classification (e.g., abrasion, ageing, oil resistance). It is intended to improve clarity and application of the classification when specifying or comparing cover types.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Conveyor-belt manufacturers and their R&D/quality teams, material and component suppliers, test laboratories, design engineers and procurement/specification writers in industries that use bulk‑handling conveyor systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is a published amendment (2006) to the 1990 edition. National bodies and standards sellers list the amended standard as the corrected/current published version of ISO 10247:1990; users should check their national standards body or ISO for the latest consolidated status before relying on it for procurement or compliance purposes.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the ISO standards addressing conveyor belts and rubber products and was developed under ISO technical committee ISO/TC 41 (subcommittee SC 3). It should be used together with related test method standards referenced in the classification.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Conveyor belts; cover characteristics; classification; abrasion; ageing; oil resistance; ISO 10247; amendment 2006.
