Elevator ropes are discarded on account of wire breaks, wear and/or diameter reduction.
During evaluation, corrosion, rope deformation or excessive elongation should also be taken account.

* Replace ropes or examine within a specified period as stated by an authorised expert
**Discard rope immediately
Case 1 Broken wires randomly distributed among other strands per rope lay
Case 2 Broken wires predominating in one or two outer strands per rope lay
Case 3 Adjacent broken wires in one outer strand
Case 4 Valley breaks pe rope lay
The length of one rope lay is approxymately equivalent to 6 x d (where d is the nominal rope diamater)
