9、nternational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee

10、has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnica

11、l standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bod

12、ies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any

13、 or all such patent rights. ISO 10333-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 4, Personal equipment for protection against falls. ISO 10333 consists of the following parts, under the general title Personal fall-arrest system

14、s: Part 1: Full-body harnesses Part 2: Lanyards and energy absorbers Part 3: Self-retracting lifelines Part 4: Vertical rails and vertical lifelines incorporating a sliding-type fall arrester Part 5: Connectors with self-closing and self-locking gates Part 6: System performance tests ISO 10333-6:200

15、4(E) ISO 2004 All rights reserved vIntroduction Fall arrest equipment has been traditionally manufactured and tested as discrete components, which are then linked together in series to form a personal fall arrest system (PFAS) by the user, before commencing work. This requires personnel in the suppl

16、y and use chain who are capable of deciding which combinations of components can be linked together and which of those cannot. Over the years, a continuous process of fall simulation and strength testing has revealed the dangers of linking incompatible components together, as a result of test failur

17、es, near misses and accidents. Examples have included: inadvertent release of connections, localized overloading or overstressing of components, and unexpected decrease in performance levels. These incidents occurred because insufficient analysis and attention had been paid to the particular combina

18、tion of components in question, and because the interaction between the components in a fall was unknown. Further investigation showed that the behaviour of a complete system under test could reveal shortcomings which could not be detected when the individual components of the same system were teste

19、d separately. Consequently, in 1979 and 1985, other fall arrest standards with a lineage back to 1947 were revised to ensure that performance tests were conducted on complete systems. This allowed the complete PFAS to be tested in the actual mode of use, and an arrested fall to be simulated as close

20、ly as possible under test conditions. This part of ISO 10333 fully supports the essential requirements of the range of current International Standards written to specify the components that are used to form personal fall arrest systems, i.e. the other parts of ISO 10333, and ISO 14567. However, in r

21、ecognizing the importance of complete personal fall arrest system performance tests, this part of ISO 10333 provides test methods for situations where it is both important and desirable to ascertain satisfactory system performance and interactive component compatibility. It goes beyond that required

22、 in the above component standards by specifying system performance testing applicable to complete personal fall arrest systems, as opposed to component testing, which only requires tests on individual components. In cases where the hazard of falling from a height exists and where, for technical reas

23、ons or for work of very short duration, safe access cannot be otherwise provided, it is necessary to consider the use of PFAS. Such use should never be improvised and its adoption should be specifically provided for in the appropriate formal provisions for safety in the work place. PFAS complying wi

24、th this part of ISO 10333 ought also to satisfy ergonomic requirements and only be used if the work allows means of connection to a suitable anchor device of demonstrated strength and if it can be implemented without compromising the safety of the user. Personnel need to be trained and instructed in

25、 the safe use of the equipment and be observant of such training and instruction. This part of ISO 10333 is based on current knowledge and practice concerning the use of PFAS that incorporate a full-body harness as specified in ISO 10333-1. This part of ISO 10333 presumes that the manufacturer of th

26、e PFAS, subsystems or components will, for the sake of consistency and traceability, operate a quality management system which will comply with national and regional regulations in force at the time. Guidance on the form this quality management system may take can be found in ISO 9000. INTERNATIONAL

27、 STANDARD ISO 10333-6:2004(E) ISO 2004 All rights reserved 1Personal fall-arrest systems Part 6: System performance tests 1 Scope This part of ISO 10333 specifies tests and requirements for complete personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) made up from specific combinations of components and subsystems s

28、elected from those conforming to the other parts of ISO 10333 and to ISO 14567, where it is both important and desirable to ascertain satisfactory system performance and interactive component compatibility. It includes PFAS performance tests using a rigid torso test mass as a surrogate for the falle

29、r. Examples of personal fall arrest systems, as well as descriptions of how components or subsystems may be connected together to constitute a system, are also given. This part of ISO 10333 is applicable to PFAS limited to single-person use of a total mass not exceeding 100 kg and, when activated, w

30、ill arrest the person and limit the arresting force to a maximum of 6 kN. It is not applicable to a) PFAS which use waist belts or chest harnesses as the sole body holding component, b) PFAS incorporating lanyards without energy absorbers or without a means of energy dissipation, c) subsystems and c

31、omponents outside the PFAS scopes of the other parts of ISO 10333 and ISO 14567, or d) equipment used for material lifting purposes. Where other features are integral with components and subsystems which allow them to be assembled into other types of safety system associated with personal fall arres

32、t systems for example, work positioning systems (WPS), fall restraint systems (FRS), controlled descent systems (CDS), confined space access systems (CSAS) or rescue systems (RS) this part of ISO 10333 relates only to the fall arrest function of such components and subsystems. This part of ISO 10333

33、 does not specify those additional requirements that would apply when personal fall arrest systems are subjected to special conditions of use (where, for example, there exist unusual limitations concerning access to the place of work and/or particular environmental factors). NOTE Personal fall arres

34、t systems outside the scope of this part of ISO 10333 need to be performance tested in the manner in which they are intended to be used, taking into account the workplace geometry. Advice will need to be sought from the equipment manufacturer accordingly. 2 Normative references The following referen
