Full title and description

ISO 3154:1988 — Stranded wire ropes for mine hoisting — Technical delivery requirements. This International Standard specifies the delivery and acceptance properties for stranded wire ropes intended for mine hoisting applications, including examples of works certificates provided in annexes.

Abstract

Specifies those properties of stranded wire ropes and of their component parts that form a basis for acceptance for mine hoisting use. Excludes full‑lock coil ropes, balance ropes and flat ropes used in mines; the characteristics of the wire (raw wire material) used for manufacture are not covered by this standard. Annex A gives an example of a works certificate and Annex B an example of a full works certificate.

Scope

The standard applies to stranded wire ropes intended specifically for mine hoisting and defines the technical delivery requirements used as the basis for acceptance testing and inspection at manufacture and delivery. It does not apply to full‑lock coil ropes, balance ropes or flat ropes used in mines, nor does it set requirements for the raw wire material used to make the strands.

Key topics and requirements

• Acceptance criteria for stranded wire ropes used in mine hoisting (dimensions, constructional features and properties forming the basis for acceptance).
• Requirements for components and rope construction relevant to performance in mine hoisting systems.
• Exclusions and interfaces — specifies what is not covered (raw wire characteristics, certain rope types such as full‑lock coil and flat ropes).
• Quality documentation — examples of a works certificate and a full works certificate provided in Annex A and Annex B respectively.
• Basis for sampling and testing at delivery to confirm compliance with specified delivery requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by mining operators and site engineers specifying hoisting rope supplies; rope manufacturers and suppliers preparing rope for mine hoisting applications; procurement and quality departments assessing acceptance certificates; testing laboratories and inspection authorities performing delivery and acceptance tests; and safety and maintenance personnel responsible for specifying or verifying rope fit for purpose. National standards bodies and distributors also reference this standard when offering mine‑hoisting rope products.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced alongside ISO 3154:1988 include ISO 5614:1988 (Locked coil wire ropes for mine hoisting — Technical delivery requirements), ISO 2408 (Steel wire ropes — requirements/minimum requirements for general purposes), ISO 2232 (Round non‑alloy steel wires for general and mine hoisting ropes — specifications), ISO 4309 (wire rope care, inspection and discard guidance for cranes/hoists) and ISO 6984 (round non‑alloy steel wires for stranded wire ropes for mine hoisting — specifications). These documents cover complementary topics such as wire specifications, locked‑coil rope types, inspection/discard criteria and general rope manufacturing/testing requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 3154:1988 is an International Standard that specifies technical delivery and acceptance requirements for stranded wire ropes used in mine hoisting applications (2nd edition, published June 1988).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It defines the properties and delivery requirements of stranded wire ropes and their component parts that form the basis for acceptance at manufacture and delivery; it excludes full‑lock coil ropes, balance ropes and flat ropes used in mines and does not specify the characteristics of the raw wire material. Annexes include examples of works certificates.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Mining companies, hoisting‑equipment specifiers, rope manufacturers and suppliers, testing/inspection laboratories, procurement and quality teams, and safety/maintenance personnel responsible for selecting and accepting mine hoisting ropes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 3154:1988 is listed as the 2nd edition (1988) and the ISO bibliographic record indicates the publication has been periodically reviewed and the 1988 edition has been confirmed in ISO’s review process; consult ISO or national standards bodies for the absolute current status in your country before purchase or citation.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It sits in a family of ISO documents addressing wire ropes and wire materials for mine hoisting and lifting equipment (examples: ISO 5614 for locked‑coil mine ropes, ISO 6984/ISO 2232 for wire specifications, ISO 2408 for general wire rope requirements, and ISO 4309 for inspection/discard guidance). These related standards are commonly used together when specifying, manufacturing and inspecting mine hoisting ropes.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Stranded wire ropes; mine hoisting; delivery requirements; acceptance; works certificate; rope construction; inspection; ISO 3154.
