Anchor lines, webbing or harnesses which have glazed or fused areas could have 2.10.2.15 suffered excessively high temperatures and are suspect. If the fibres appear powdery or if there are changes in colour in a dyed component, this can indicate severe internal wear or contact with acids or other damaging chemicals, or it can indicate ultra-violet degradation. Swellings or distortion in a rope can be a sign of damage to the core fibres or of movement of the core within the sheath. Cuts, chafes, plucking and other mechanical damage weaken ropes and webbing, the degree of weakening being directly related to the severity of the damage. Loosening or excessive breaks in the yarns could indicate internal wear or cuts. Advice should be sought from the supplier or manufacturer, but if there is any doubt as to the condition of the equipment, it should be scrapped.
