The breaking tenacity of the synthetic fibres shall be known to be at least 0,6 N/tex. 4.1.1.4 Materials that may come into contact with the skin of the user shall not be known to cause irritating or sensitization effects when used as intended. 4.1.1.5 When checked in accordance with 5.1, exposed edges or corners of elements shall be relieved either with a radius of at least 0,5 mm or a chamfer of at least 0,5 mm x 45°.

kN when tested in accordance with 5.2.1.2.9. 4.2.2.3 For rigid anchor lines made from wire rope that have been tested in accordance with 5.3.2 and have a peak load at the top anchor greater than 6 kN, the wire rope and all other elements from the top of the anchor line, e.g. an energy dissipating element, but excluding the guided type fall arrester, shall be tested in accordance with 5.2.2.3 and shall hold a load of 2,5 times the recorded peak load (permanent deformation without breaking is acceptable). 4.2.2.4 When tested in accordance with 5.2.2.4, if a guided type fall arrester cannot freely rotate around its rigid anchor line or on a guiding bracket it shall hold a lateral load of 1 kN without becoming detached SIST EN 353-1:2014

The rigid test mass shall be held clear of the ground and the arrest distance HAD shall not exceed 1 m. For a rigid anchor line made of wire rope the peak load measured at the position of the top anchor shall be recorded. 4.3.3 Function 4.3.3.1 Cold condition The guided type fall arrester shall be conditioned to at least −30°C unless a lower temperature is claimed by the manufacturer in which case the lowest claimed temperature shall be used.

Sideways leaning anchor line When tested in accordance with 5.3.8 with a rigid test mass equal to the minimum rated load the mass shall be held clear of the ground and the locking distance HLD shall not exceed 0,5 m or the arrest distance HAD shall not exceed 1 m. When tested in accordance with 5.3.8 with a rigid test mass equal to the maximum rated load but not less than 100 kg, the mass shall be held clear of the ground and the locking distance HLD shall not exceed 0,5 m or the arrest distance HAD shall not exceed 1 m. 4.4 Corrosion resistance After testing in accordance with 5.4, all metal parts of the guided type fall arrester including the rigid anchor line shall not show evidence of corrosion that would affect their function, e.g. the correct operation of moving elements, locking function. White scaling or tarnishing is acceptable if the function is not impaired. NOTE This test does not check resistance in highly corrosive environments e.g. offshore, chemical plants.
