[Current]Textile slings - Lifting slings for general purpose lifting operations made from fibre ropes - High modulus polyethylene (HMPE) (ISO 18264:2016 MOD)
AS 18264:2022 adopts ISO 18264:2016 with modifications, which specifies the requirements related to safety, including methods of rating and testing eye-and-eye and endless sling constructions used as single (1) leg, two (2) leg, three (3) leg or four (4) leg lifting configurations (with and without fittings). These sling constructions are made of 8-strand braided ropes (type L), 12-strand braided ropes (type T), and covered rope constructions (type C) according to ISO 10325.
