Safety nets - Part 1: Safety requirements, test methods
This European Standard is applicable to safety nets and their accessories for use in construction, scaffolding, falsework and assembly work and specifies safety requirements and test methods. This product standard does is not applicable to the installation of safety nets. For a European Standard covering the installation of safety nets see prEN 1263-2:1995.
Schutznetze (Auffangnetze) - Teil 1: Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen, Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Schutznetze und Schutznetzzubehör, die bei Bau- und Montagearbeiten Verwendung zum Schutz gegen Absturz bzw. tieferen Absturz finden und ist auf die Verhaltenseigenschaften von Polypropen- und Polyamidfasern aufgebaut. Materialien, die in Netzen verwendet werden, sollten keine signifikante Verminderung der mechanischen Eigenschaften zwischen - 10 °C und + 40 °C aufweisen. Sie legt sicherheits-technische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren fest. Diese Norm gilt nicht für die Errichtung von Schutznetzen. Für die Errichtung von Schutznetzen siehe EN 1263-2.
Filets de sécurité - Partie 1 : Exigences de sécurité, méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux filets de sécurité et à leurs accessoires utilisés dans les travaux de construction et d'assemblage pour protéger contre des chutes de hauteurs conséquentes. Elle spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d'essai et est fondée sur les caractéristiques de performance des fibres de polypropène et de polyamide. Il convient que les matériaux utilisés pour la fabrication des filets ne présentent pas de réduction significative de leurs caractéristiques mécaniques dans une plage de températures comprises entre - 10 °C et + 40 °C.
Cette norme ne couvre pas la pose des filets de sécurité. Pour une Norme européenne couvrant la pose des filets de sécurité, se reporter à l'EN 1263-2.
