QUALITY CERTIFICATION AND TESTS

In accordance with the articles of the ”Regulations for Compliance with 89/392/CEE, 91/368/CEE, 93/44/CEE and 93/68/CEE Standards” concerning the correspondence among the standards of the EEC member states relative to machineries, SIRTEF issues a Certificate of Conformity that reports all topics treated by the harmonized standards.

All ropes, when they are not part of a lot of slings, must bear a plate or a fixed ring that shows at least the references of the manufacture and the certificate of conformity.

Sirtef is also able to carry out performance/breaking tests for any type of rope.

The 150 ton Test Bench, that has been ratified by the Milan Polytechnic Institute and by the Italian Shipping Register, has been built with special attention for carrying out tests of any type, including pre-tensioning on ropes and resistance tests on any type of terminal for steel wire ropes. The device used to test micro cables and single wires making up ropes with diameters exceeding 42 mm has also been ratified by the Milan Polytechnic Institute; along with the Keller and Bohacek instrument it is the obvious completion of the Test Bench for testing steel ropes. Moreover, Sirtef is equipped with all the measuring instruments that are needed to guarantee an effective dimensional control of the marketed products.
All non-destructive tests concerning alloyed steel accessories are carried out at Sirtef’s laboratory, which is recognised by the major International Registers. For more information, please contact Mr Alberto Bertolotti who is responsible for the company’s Quality Control System.
