Personal fall protection equipment - Guided type fall arresters including an anchor line - Part 1: Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line
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.
Persönliche Schutzausrüstung gegen Absturz - Mitlaufende Auffanggeräte einschließlich einer Führung - Teil 1: Mitlaufende Auffanggeräte einschließlich fester Führung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren, Kennzeichnung, Informationen des Herstellers und Verpackung für mitlaufende Auffanggeräte einschließlich fester Führung fest. Diese feste Führung ist in der Regel an Leitern oder Sprossen, die an geeigneten baulichen Einrichtungen angemessen angebracht sind, befestigt oder in diesen eingebaut. Mitlaufende Auffanggeräte einschließlich fester Führung, die dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen, sind Bestandteile eines der Auffangsysteme nach EN 363.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für feste Führungen, die zur Installation in vertikaler Anordnung und/oder zur Installation in Kombination einer Vorwärts- und/oder Seitwärtsneigung von bis zu 15° zur absoluten Vertikalen (siehe Bild 2) vorgesehen sind.
Anwendungen für mehrere Benutzer, d. h. feste Führungen, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie gleichzeitig durch mehrere Personen verwendet werden können, werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
Équipement de protection individuelle contre les chutes de hauteur - Antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage - Partie 1 : Antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide
La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences, les méthodes d'essai, le marquage, la notice d'information du fabricant et l'emballage des antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide. Ce support d'assurage est généralement accroché ou intégré à des échelles ou à des barreaux d'ascension fixés de manière adéquate sur des structures appropriées. Les antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide conformes à la présente Norme européenne sont des composants de l'un des systèmes d'arrêt des chutes couverts par l'EN 363.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux supports d'assurage rigides destinés à être installés verticalement et/ou en combinaison avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'avant et/ou un angle d'inclinaison latéral entre la véritable verticale et la verticale 15° (voir Figure 2).
Le présent document ne traite pas des applications destinées à plusieurs utilisateurs, c'est-à-dire des supports d'assurage rigides qui permettent l'accrochage à un moment quelconque de plusieurs utilisateurs.

Overview
EN 353-1:2014/prA1:2017 is a CEN amendment covering guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line. The standard defines requirements, test methods, marking, manufacturer information and packaging for rigid anchor-line guided type fall arresters that are typically attached to or integrated in ladders or rungs fixed to suitable structures. Products conforming to this document are components of fall arrest systems covered by EN 363.
This amendment clarifies dynamic performance testing and cold-condition testing procedures, and is intended to improve reliability for single-user, ladder-integrated fall protection applications. Multi-user rigid anchor lines (allowing more than one user attached simultaneously) are explicitly not covered.
Key Topics
Scope and installation
- Applies to rigid anchor lines intended to be installed vertically and/or with a combination of forward-leaning and/or sideways leaning between the true vertical and vertical +15°.
- Intended for ladder- or rung-integrated installations where guided-type fall arresters travel on a fixed support.
Requirements and test methods
- Specifies dynamic performance checks; the amendment replaces the figure for certain dynamic performance tests.
- Cold-condition function test updated: wet conditioning removed; guided-type fall arrester shall be subjected to the lowest claimed temperature (but at least −30 °C) for a minimum of 4 hours, then removed and tested.
- Timing requirements: release of the test mass within 90 seconds of removal from the refrigerated chamber, with measurement and recording of locking distance (LD) and arrest distance (AD).
Marking and manufacturer information
- Requires clear product marking and information supplied by the manufacturer, including intended use, installation orientation, and test/maintenance guidance.
Applications
This standard is directly applicable to:
- Ladder-integrated fall arrest systems for maintenance, access and vertical work tasks.
- Single-user guided type fall arresters used in industrial, utility, telecom and building maintenance settings where a rigid anchor line is preferred.
Practical benefits include improved consistency of performance verification in cold environments, clearer test procedures for manufacturers and test houses, and harmonized marking and information that aid purchasers and safety managers in selecting compliant guided-type arresters.
Related Standards
- EN 363 - Fall arrest systems (the system-level standard that covers components including those specified in EN 353-1).
- EN 353-2 - Covers guided type fall arresters with flexible anchor lines (for comparison of rigid vs flexible anchor-line solutions).
For manufacturers and safety professionals, EN 353-1:2014/prA1:2017 provides essential, practical guidance to ensure guided-type fall arresters with rigid anchor lines perform reliably, especially under cold conditions and in vertical or near-vertical ladder applications.
