1.1 本指南涵盖了协助救援人员管理和护理kernmantle尼龙、聚酯或尼龙/聚酯或两者的程序。 1.2 本指南提供的信息旨在帮助合格、经验丰富的人员制定确定绳索是否应投入使用或恢复使用的程序。此类程序可用于帮助确定所用救援绳的可用性。评估绳索时，可能还需要考虑本指南中可能未包括的其他因素。 注1: 当提及检查绳索的个人时，“合格”和“有经验”这两个术语的解释可能存在争议。由于绳索评估是一种主观实践，因此明确定义用户的需求，然后根据这些需求培训人员，符合用户的最大利益。用户之间的需求和优先级可能会有很大差异。 1.2.1 以任何方式使用过的绳索，在未进行彻底检查（包括绳索日志审查、目视检查和触觉检查）之前，不得恢复使用。 1.2.2 用户有责任了解对使用过的绳索进行评估是一个主观过程。由于目前在救援行动中使用的kernmantle绳索的强度和寿命，在未来的行动中重复使用这些绳索是完全合理的，甚至是可取的，除非绳索以某种方式受到物理破坏。如果用户选择重复使用绳索，则用户还应制定具体的指南，包括本指南中规定的指南，并为负责绳索检查的人员提供培训。 1.3 本标准并不意味着批准任何特定类型的救援绳索，也不旨在确保任何绳索能够按预期发挥作用。此处包含的信息不应被视为评估救援绳可用性的唯一标准 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 3.1 本指南的目的是帮助用户制定程序，根据绳索的视觉和触觉检查以及绳索日志中记录的绳索历史，确定绳索的可用性。 3.2 本指南旨在供用户认为有资格根据用户的具体需求评估绳索可行性的经验丰富的人员使用。

1.1 This guide covers procedures to assist in the management and care of kernmantle nylon, polyester, or nylon/polyester, or both kernmantle ropes by rescue personnel. 1.2 This guide provides information intended to assist qualified, experienced personnel in establishing procedures for determining whether a rope should be placed into or returned to service. Such procedures may be used to assist in determining serviceability of used rescue ropes. Other factors which may not be included in this guide may also need to be considered when evaluating ropes. Note 1: Interpretation of the terms “qualified” and “experienced” when referring to individuals inspecting ropes may be debatable. Because rope evaluation is a subjective practice, it is in the best interest of the user to clearly define the needs of the user, and then to train personnel according to those needs. Needs and priorities may vary greatly between users. 1.2.1 A rope which has been used in any manner should not be returned to service without first undergoing a thorough inspection to include rope log review, visual inspection, and tactile inspection. 1.2.2 It is the responsibility of the user to understand that evaluation of a used rope is a subjective process. Due to the strength and longevity of kernmantle ropes presently used in rescue operations, it is perfectly reasonable, and even advisable, for these ropes to be reused on future operations unless the rope is physically compromised in some way. If the user chooses to reuse ropes, then the user should also establish specific guidelines, including and possibly in addition to those set forth in this guide, and provide training for personnel who will be responsible for examination of ropes. 1.3 This standard does not imply approval of any specific type of rescue rope, nor does it purport to ensure the ability of any rope to function as desired. The information included here is not to be considered the only criteria for evaluating the serviceability of rescue rope 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 3.1 The purpose of this guide is to assist the user in developing procedures to determine the serviceability of rope based upon visual and tactile inspection of the rope and the rope history as documented in the rope log. 3.2 This guide is intended for use by experienced personnel deemed qualified by the user to assess the viability of rope, according to the specific needs of that user.
