Equipment made from man-made fibres should be carefully and regularly inspected for 2.10.2.8 signs of abrasion. This applies to both external abrasion and internal abrasion. External abrasion is easy to see but sometimes it is difficult to determine the extent of its detrimental effect. Internal abrasion is more difficult to spot but can often be substantial, particularly if grit has penetrated the outer surface. All levels of abrasion lower the strength of this equipment: as a general rule, the greater the abrasion the greater the loss of strength. The effects of UV degradation and abrasion combined weaken the materials even further.
