Full title and description
Textile slings — Lifting slings for general purpose lifting operations made from fibre ropes — High modulus polyethylene (HMPE). This International Standard specifies safety, rating and testing requirements for general-purpose lifting slings manufactured from HMPE fibre ropes (reference numbers 12 to 72).
Abstract
This document sets requirements related to safety, marking, design factors, rating and test methods for fibre‑rope lifting slings made from high modulus polyethylene (HMPE). It applies to slings intended for general-purpose lifting operations and excludes slings for lifting persons and other specialist, hazardous or engineered lifting applications.

Scope
Specifies safety-related requirements, methods for rating and testing, and marking for fibre-rope lifting slings manufactured from HMPE fibres with reference numbers from 12 to 72. The standard covers slings for general-purpose lifting operations and explicitly excludes slings for lifting persons and certain hazardous or specially engineered lifts (for example molten metals, acids, glass sheets, fissile materials and nuclear reactors). It can be used as a reference when designing slings using HMPE for special operations but does not itself provide the additional requirements for those special cases.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and classification of HMPE fibre rope slings (reference number range: 12–72).
- Requirements for design factors, rated capacities and safety margins for general-purpose lifting.
- Mandatory marking and identification information for slings (capacity, fibre type, construction, unique identifier).
- Test methods for verification of breaking strength, fatigue and other mechanical properties relevant to lifting performance.
- Limits and exclusions — explicit exclusions for lifting persons and specified hazardous or engineered lifts.
Typical use and users
Manufacturers of textile and fibre‑rope lifting slings, product designers, testing laboratories, safety and compliance engineers, lifting equipment purchasers and end users in logistics, shipping, construction and industrial material handling who require standards-based specification, testing and marking for HMPE fibre‑rope slings intended for general-purpose lifting.
