(Main)Personal fall protection equipment - Anchor devices
Personal fall protection equipment - Anchor devices
This European Standard specifies requirements for performance and associated test methods for single-user anchor devices which are intended to be removable from the structure. These anchor devices incorporate stationary or travelling (mobile) anchor points designed for the attachment of components of a personal fall protection system in accordance with EN 363.
This European Standard also gives requirements for marking and instructions for use, and guidance on installation.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
- anchor devices intended to allow more than one user to be attached at any one time;
- anchor devices used in any sports or recreational activity;
- equipment designed to conform to EN 516 or EN 517;
- elements or parts of structures which were installed for use other than as anchor points or anchor devices, e.g. beams, girders;
- structural anchors (see 3.3).
Persönliche Absturzschutzausrüstung - Anschlageinrichtungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an die Leistungsmerkmale und zugehörige Prüfverfahren für Anschlageinrichtungen zur Verwendung durch eine einzelne Person fest, die dafür vorgesehen sind, von der baulichen Einrichtung abnehmbar zu sein. Diese Anschlageinrichtungen umfassen ortsfeste oder bewegliche Anschlagpunkte, die zur Befestigung von Bestandteilen eines persönlichen Absturzschutzsystems nach EN 363 konstruiert sind.
Diese Europäische Norm legt außerdem Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung und Gebrauchsanleitung fest und gibt Hinweise zur Montage.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
- Anschlageinrichtungen, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie gleichzeitige durch mehrere Personen verwendet werden können;
- Anschlageinrichtungen, die bei Sport- oder Freizeitaktivitäten verwendet werden;
- Anschlageinrichtungen, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie EN 516 oder EN 517 entsprechen;
- Einzelteile oder Bestandteile von baulichen Einrichtungen, die nicht als Anschlagpunkte oder Anschlageinrichtungen, sondern für einen anderen Verwendungszweck (z. B. als Balken, Träger) eingebaut wurden;
- baulich verankerte Befestigungsmittel (siehe 3.3).
Équipement de protection individuelle contre les chutes - Dispositifs d'ancrage
La présente Norme européenne définit des exigences de performances et des méthodes d'essai associées pour les dispositifs d'ancrage à un seul utilisateur qui sont destinés à pouvoir être retirés de la structure. Ces dispositifs d'ancrage comprennent des points d'ancrage fixes ou mobiles, destinés à la connexion de composants d'un système de protection individuelle contre les chutes conformément à l'EN 363.
La présente Norme européenne définit également des exigences pour le marquage et le mode d'emploi et donne des recommandations relatives à l'installation.
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas applicable :
- aux dispositifs d'ancrage destinés à permettre à plusieurs utilisateurs d'être attachés en même temps ;
- aux dispositifs d'ancrage utilisés dans les activités sportives ou récréatives ;
- aux équipements conçus pour être conformes à l'EN 516 ou à l'EN 517 ;
- aux éléments ou aux parties de structures qui ont été installés dans le but d'être utilisés à des fins autres que celles de points d'ancrage ou de dispositifs d'ancrage, par exemple des poutres, des longerons ;
aux ancres structurelles (voir 3.3).
Osebna varovalna oprema za zaščito pred padci z višine - Sidrišča
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za lastnosti in povezane preskusne metode za sidrišča za enega in več uporabnikov, ki jih je mogoče odstraniti iz konstrukcije.
Ta sidrišča vključujejo eno ali več stacionarnih ali premičnih sidrnih točk, namenjenih pritrditvi sestavnih delov, ki so del sistema za osebno zaščito pred padci z višine v skladu s standardom EN 363. Ta evropski standard določa tudi zahteve za označevanje ter navodila za uporabo in namestitev. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za:
– sidrišča, ki se uporabljajo pri katerem koli športu ali rekreativni dejavnosti;
– opremo, ki je zasnovana v skladu s standardom EN 516 ali EN 517;
– elemente ali dele konstrukcij, ki niso bili nameščeni za uporabo kot sidrne točke ali sidrišča, npr. tramove, nosilce;
– konstrukcijska sidra.
