0.1 Principle
This standard gives the technical requirements of non-steel wire rope suspension means for lifts on the premise of at least achieving the same safety of steel wire rope suspension means for lifts.
0.2 Assumptions
0.2.1 In addition to the requirements of this standard, lifts using non-steel wire rope suspension devices shall meet the relevant requirements of GB 7588 or GB/T 21739.
0.2.2 The supplier and the purchaser have negotiated and reached an agreement on the following contents:

b) Ambient conditions, such as temperature, humidity and exposure to sunlight, wind, snow or corrosive air;
c) Other matters related to the installation site.
Non-steel wire rope suspension means for lifts
1 Scope
This standard specifies the classification, technical requirements, inspection, test, inspection rules and acceptance concerning non-steel wire rope suspension means for lifts.
This standard is applicable to non-steel wire rope suspension means involved in traction drive lifts, with steel wire ropes or non-metal materials as load-bearing members. For non-steel wire rope suspension means of other new materials or structures, this standard may be used as a reference, and the inapplicable parts shall be determined by the supplier and the purchaser through negotiation.

5 Technical requirements
5.1 Load-bearing member
5.1.1 Tensile strength
The nominal tensile strength shall be in the range of 1,570N/mm2 to 3,500N/mm2.
The nominal tensile strength shall be the lower limit of tensile strength of load-bearing member, and the deviation of tensile strength shall not exceed 390N/mm2.
Note: When the load-bearing member is made of metal material such as steel wire, the tensile strength refers to the tensile strength of the steel wire. When the load-bearing member is made of non-metal material, the tensile strength refers to the tensile strength of a single load-bearing member. For example, the nominal tensile strength of load-bearing member is 2,400N/mm2, while its upper limit of tensile strength is 2,790N/mm2.
