Full title and description

ISO 10547:2009 — Polyester fibre ropes — Double braid construction. This International Standard specifies requirements for polyester double‑braided (coaxial) ropes, including provisions for higher‑strength double braid variants, and gives rules for their designation and marking.

Abstract

ISO 10547:2009 defines the constructional and designation requirements for double‑braid ropes made from polyester. It covers both standard and higher‑strength double braid constructions, sets requirements for identification/marking and refers to relevant test and vocabulary standards for fibre ropes.

General information

• Status: Published (International Standard; entered into systematic review).
• Publication date: 2009 (ISO catalogue: December 2009; national adoptions appeared in early 2010).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 59.080.50 (Ropes).
• Edition / version: Edition 1, 2009.
• Number of pages: 4 (ISO original PDF — some national/adopted publications show expanded pagination due to national forewords or translations).

Scope

This standard applies to polyester fibre ropes manufactured with a double‑braid (coaxial) construction. It specifies constructional requirements and rules for designation and marking for both conventional and higher‑strength double‑braid polyester ropes. It does not cover rope types with other constructions (e.g., three‑strand, single braid) unless explicitly adopted by separate standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and description of double‑braid (coaxial) rope construction (core/inner braid and outer braid/cover).
• Requirements and designation rules for standard and higher‑strength (hr) polyester double‑braid ropes.
• Identification and marking — how ropes and higher‑strength variants are to be marked and designated for supply and labelling.
• Reference to test methods and measurement conditions for linear mass and breaking force (normative references for testing and vocabulary).
• Constructional details and minimum braid element counts and mass distribution considerations (as applicable to consistent manufacture and designation).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of polyester ropes and cordage, rigging and lifting equipment suppliers, marine and offshore operators, rescue and safety equipment designers, standards committees and purchasers specifying rope performance and marking requirements for industrial and maritime applications.

Related standards

Typical normative and related references include ISO 1968 (vocabulary for fibre ropes), ISO 2307 (determination of certain physical and mechanical properties of fibre ropes), ISO 9554 (general specifications/marking/packaging for fibre ropes), and various national/adopted versions (EN ISO 10547, national transpositions).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10547:2009 is an International Standard that specifies requirements and designation rules for polyester double‑braid (coaxial) ropes, including higher‑strength variants.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers constructional definitions, designation and marking rules, and links to the relevant test and vocabulary standards for polyester double‑braid ropes. It is focused on double‑braid construction and does not replace standards for other rope constructions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Rope manufacturers, suppliers, purchasers, specifiers in marine/offshore/industrial sectors, and standards bodies use it to ensure consistent construction, designation and identification of polyester double‑braid ropes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10547:2009 was published in 2009 (edition 1) and is listed as published in the ISO catalogue; it is subject to periodic review. There was no later ISO edition published to replace it at the time of its catalogue entry, but national adoptions (EN ISO 10547 and others) followed in 2010. Check with your national standards body or the ISO catalogue for the very latest status before relying on the standard for regulatory or procurement decisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 10547 is part of the wider family of fibre‑rope standards (ISO/TC 38 outputs) and is used alongside related standards such as ISO 1968, ISO 2307 and ISO 9554; some national and regional standards bodies have adopted it as EN ISO 10547.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Polyester fibre ropes, double braid, coaxial construction, high‑strength (hr), rope designation, marking, cordage.
