China Leads the Way: ISO Approval for International Standard on Stainless Steel Wire Ropes

Recently, a reporter from China Metallurgical Daily learned from the official website of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that the specialized international standard for steel wire ropes, Stainless steel wire ropes, developed by China, has been officially approved for publication by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Recently, a reporter from China Metallurgical Daily learned from the official website of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that the specialized international standard for steel wire ropes, Stainless steel wire ropes, developed by China, has been officially approved for publication by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The release of this standard marks a further enhancement of China's international influence in the field of steel wire ropes.

This international standard was officially approved in May 2020, with experts from the Metallurgical Industry Information Standards Research Institute serving as the project convener and experts from Farsheng Hongsheng Group Co., Ltd. as the project leader. At the same time, relevant domestic and foreign experts jointly drafted it.

It is reported that stainless steel wire ropes are mainly used in fields such as instrumentation and mechanical transmission, suspension cables, shock absorbers, yachts, and building structures. With the development of the global economy, the application areas of stainless steel wire ropes are continuously expanding to industries such as automobiles, chemicals, aviation, and healthcare. Due to different application industries and purposes, the materials and performance requirements for stainless steel wire ropes vary in different countries, and there is an urgent need for universal international standards for stainless steel wire ropes. This standard is based on the actual production and application research of stainless steel wire ropes, and analyzes the applicability and universality of relevant standards for stainless steel wire ropes in various countries. It determines the technical requirements for the structure and specifications of stainless steel wire ropes, as well as the quality of stainless steel wire rope twisting.
