EN 353-1:2014 +
A1:2017
Guided type fall
arresters (rigid lines)
Systems made up of a line or rail intended to be
fixed (either temporarily or permanently) to a structure at top and bottom, on
which a travelling device is attached. The user connects to this travelling
device when climbing or descending – in the case of a fall, the travelling
device should grip the line and arrest the fall.
1. Static Strength
The
guided type fall arrester and vertical lifeline with top anchor point are
loaded in a line up to a force of 15kN for 3 minutes. Any textile elements that
are not designed to be removed after use need to also be tested to 22kN for 3
minutes. During the dynamic performance test, if the load on the anchorage
point is recorded as being higher than 6kN, an additional static test is
carried out on the top anchor to 2.5 times this recorded load. For any system
where a guided type fall arrester cannot rotate freely around its rigid anchor
line, a lateral static test using a force of 1kN is applied for 3 minutes.
2. Dynamic Performance
Guided
type fall arresters are subject to a drop test using a 100kg mass, dropped over
the maximum distance the device will allow – essentially by raising the mass
until the travelling device begins to slide up the cable or rail. The device
should arrest the mass within 1 metre from the point of release, the guided
type fall arrester shall not slide more than 0.5m with a maximum arrest force
of 6kN.
3.Cold Condition Dynamic Test
A
sample of guided type fall arrester is conditioned at -30°C or lower if
claimed, for a minimum of 4 hours. They are then removed and are subject to a
drop test within 90 seconds using a 100kg mass, dropped over the maximum
distance the device will allow. The guided type fall arrester should arrest the
mass within 1 metre from the point of release and the guided type fall arrester
shall not slide more than 0.5m.
4.Minimum Distance Dynamic Test
Guided
type fall arresters are subject to two separate drop tests, one using a test
mass equivalent to the maximum rated load and one using the minimum rated load.
The test mass is dropped over the maximum distance the device will allow with
the test mass as close as possible to the vertical lifeline without touching
it. This test is to check that the locking mechanism on the guided type fall
arrester can still engage if the user is very close to the system. The guided
type fall arrester should arrest the mass within 1 metre from the point of
release and the guided type fall arrester shall not slide more than 0.5m.
5. Fall Back Dynamic Test
Guided
type fall arresters are subject to two separate drop tests, one using a test
mass equivalent to the maximum rated load and one using the minimum rated load.
The test mass is dropped with the device locking mechanism horizontal or at the
point it becomes unlocked. This test is to simulate someone fall backwards and
uses an additional 150kg test mass constantly applying a 150N force away from
the system to the guided type fall arrester. The guided type fall arrester
should arrest the mass within 1 metre from the point of release and the guided
type fall arrester shall not slide more than 0.5m.
6.Dynamic on a Guiding Bracket
If
the system can be installed with a guiding bracket, the guided type fall
arrester is subject to a drop test using a mass equivalent to the maximum rated
load, by placing the device on the guiding bracket. The device should arrest
the mass within 1 metre from the point of release, the guided type fall
arrester shall not slide more than 0.5m with a maximum arrest force of 6kN.
7. Sideways Fall Dynamic Test
This
test is only applicable for guided type fall arresters which cannot freely
rotate on the rigid anchor line. The guided type fall arrester is subject to a
drop test using a mass equivalent to the maximum rated load, by dropping the
test mass to the side of the system. The device should arrest the mass within 1
metre from the point of release, the guided type fall arrester shall not slide
more than 0.5m with a maximum arrest force of 6kN.
8. Sideways Leaning Anchor Line Dynamic Test
This
test is only applicable for anchor lines that can be installed at angles up to
15 degrees from the vertical. Guided type fall arresters are subject to two
separate drop tests, one using a test mass equivalent to the maximum rated load
and one using the minimum rated load. The device should arrest the mass within
1 metre from the point of release, the guided type fall arrester shall not
slide more than 0.5m with a maximum arrest force of 6kN.
9. Corrosion Resistance
Metallic
components used in fall protection equipment are subjected to a neutral
salt-spray test intended to prove a minimum resistance to environmental
corrosion (specifically rust). Products are held within a sealed chamber, which
is filled with a salt-water mist, which can induce rust in unprotected metals.
Products are subjected to either 24 or 48 hours exposure and examined for
rusting and function afterward.
Overview
This
European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods, marking,
information supplied by the manufacturer and packaging for guided type
fall arresters including a rigid anchor line. This anchor line is
usually attached to or integrated in ladders or rungs adequately fixed to
suitable structures. Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor
line conforming to this European Standard are components of one of the
fall arrest systems covered by EN 363.
This
European Standard applies to rigid anchor lines which are intended to
be installed vertically and/or with a combination of forward-leaning angle
and/or sideways leaning angle between the true vertical and the
vertical +15° (see Figure 2).
Multi-user
applications, i.e. rigid anchor lines that allow more than one user
to be attached at any one time, are not addressed in this document.
