12 Terminal or end fittings
      (1) There must be on board evidence that a terminal connection fitted to a wire rope used for hoisting a load on a crane or derrick is of a design for which prototype tests have shown that the strength of the terminal and its attachment to the rope is at least:
(a) for a rope up to 50 mm in diameter — 95% of the minimum breaking load of the rope; or
(b) for a rope more than 50 mm in diameter — 90% of the minimum breaking load of the rope.
      (2) Subclause (1) does not apply if the equipment is under survey and inspection under a scheme of classification and certification by a recognised organisation.
