This document specifies the classification and designation, ordering information, technical requirements, verification requirements and test methods, sampling and acceptance rules, as well as operating instructions and markings of steel wire ropes, with different structures with nominal diameters from 6 mm to 38 mm, for carbon steel smooth or coated lifts.
This document is applicable to the suspended steel wire ropes for traction drive, hydraulic drive and forced drive lifts, and also applicable to the compensation steel wire ropes and governor steel wire ropes for passenger lifts, cargo lifts and utility lifts running between guide rails.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 8706 and the following apply.
3.1
single tensile rope
steel wire rope with outer wire and inner wire of the outer strand have the same tensile strength class (except for center wire and filled wire)
3.2
dual tensile rope
steel wire rope with outer wire and inner wire of the outer strand have different tensile strength class (except for center wire and filled wire)
Example: Class 1370/1770, whose outer strand has an outer steel wire tensile strength class of 1370 and the inner steel wire tensile strength class of 1770.
3.3
steel-based composite core (SCC)
a rope core made of steel wire combined with fiber or polymer
3.4
composite steel core (CSC)
a type of steel composite core, a rope core composed of a wire strand and a fiber or polymer core
4 Classification and designation
The classification and designation of steel wire ropes shall meet the requirements of GB/T 8706.
