April 18, 2025 | 2 min Read

BIS certification is essential for Stranded Steel Wire Ropes used in winding and man-riding haulages in mines as per IS 1855:2022. This standard ensures that steel wire ropes used in critical underground mining operations meet the highest levels of safety, strength, and performance. Certification under IS 1855:2022 confirms that the ropes are manufactured to withstand harsh mining environments and dynamic operational stresses, especially where human transportation is involved, making it vital for both operational efficiency and worker safety.

IS 1855:2022 – Stranded Steel Wire Ropes for Winding and Man-Riding Haulages in Mines

This standard specifies the constructional features, material quality, and performance requirements for stranded steel wire ropes intended for use in mines, particularly in winding operations and man-riding systems. These ropes are subjected to rigorous conditions such as variable loads, abrasive environments, and continuous usage. IS 1855:2022 defines essential parameters like tensile strength, breaking load, fatigue resistance, elongation, and construction type. It also prescribes testing methods, inspection criteria, and quality control measures to ensure that only ropes with verified durability and reliability are used in mine haulage systems.
