EN 958:2006+A1:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for energy absorbing systems for use in climbing on a klettersteig (via ferrata). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. !EN 12275, Mountaineering equipment — Connectors — Safety requirements and test methods" EN ISO 139, Textiles — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 139:2005) ISO 6487, Road vehicles — Measurement techniques in impact tests — Instrumentation 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 klettersteig rock climbing route with artificially constructed, permanent belay NOTE In some cases the term "via ferrata" is used instead of "klettersteig". 3.2 energy absorbing system device with two or more attachment points, used to reduce the impact force on the anchorage and on an
attached climber during a fall 3.3 braking length increase in the distance between the two attachment points measured at the end of the braking action !!!!3.4 deployment position arrangement or positioning of the energy absorbing device such that the energy absorbing systems can come into correct use in the event of climber fall arrest" 4 Safety requirements 4.1 Design 4.1.1 Load bearing connections All textile load bearing connections shall be designed so that they cannot be altered by the user.
