17.2 SCOPE

This section of the code covers man-made fibre roundslings for multi-purpose use made of Polyamide (Nylon), Polyester or Polypropylene. It should be noted that anything other than a roundsling as defined below is excluded from this section (e.g. an endless rope sling).

Although multi-leg slings are included in this section, their terminal and connecting fittings, such as shackles, are excluded and reference should be made to the appropriate section(s) of this code for specific guidance on their safe use, if required.
