The work of preparing International Standards is
15、normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee 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
16、in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical 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 prepa
17、re International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies 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 som
18、e of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 22846-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 4, Personal equipment
19、for protection against falls.ISO 22846 consists of the following parts, under the general title Personal equipment for protection against falls Rope access systems: Part 1: Fundamental principles for a system of work Part 2: Code of practice ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS ISO 22846-2:2012ISO 22846
20、-2:2012(E)IntroductionISO 22846 (all parts) sets out important criteria for the application of rope access systems for industrial purposes.ISO 22846-1 sets out fundamental principles; this part of ISO 22846 expands on these, giving recommendations for planning and management, operative competence an
21、d responsibilities of personnel, supervision, the selection, use and care of equipment, and advice on how to implement a safe system of work.Rope access is a method of working at height, typically using synthetic fibre kernmantel ropes and associated equipment, used to gain access to, be supported a
22、t, and as a means of egress from, a place of work.The application of rope access methods are regarded as a complete system, in which planning, competence and suitable equipment are equally important. The malfunction or removal of any component in the system can weaken the operation or prevent the sy
23、stem from operating properly.This part of ISO 22846 is intended for use by all persons concerned with the use of rope access, including operatives, specifiers, managers, rope access supervisors, purchasing personnel, trainers, clients and regulatory authorities. Users are reminded always to take int
24、o account the entire system and not just the component parts.To ensure a rope access system operates correctly, at least the following factors are important: system management and planning; competence of the operatives and correct team composition; equipment selection, use and maintenance; proper or
25、ganization and execution of working methods.There can also be other issues to consider, depending upon the nature and location of the work, the competence and experience of operatives and possible local or regional legal requirements.A failure or shortcoming in any of the above can render the entire
26、 system deficient.vi ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 22846-2:2012Personal equipment for protection against falls Rope access systems Part 2: Code of practice1 ScopeThis part of ISO 22846 provides recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods for work at height and expands on the
27、fundamental principles given in ISO 22846-1, in conjunction with which it is intended to be used. It is intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope access methods, by those commissioning rope access work and by rope access associations. This part of ISO 22846 is a
28、pplicable to the use of rope access methods in any situation where ropes are used as the primary means of access, egress or support and as the primary means of protection against a fall, on both man-made and natural features.This part of ISO 22846 is not intended to apply to the use of rope access m
29、ethods for leisure activities, arboriculture, general steeplejack methods, emergency personal evacuation or to the use of rope rescue (line rescue) techniques by emergency services for rescue work or for rescue training. Nevertheless, individuals engaged in these and similar activities can benefit f
30、rom the advice given in this part of ISO 22846.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1aid climbingmethod of progression in suspension, either by moving from one fixed anchor to another or by the use of moveable anchors or anchor points2
31、.2anchorfixture or place for the attachment of lines or persons2.3anchor lineflexible rope line connected, at one end at least, to an anchor so as to provide a means of support or other safeguard for a personNOTE An anchor line may be a working line or a safety line.2.4anchor pointattachment point a
32、t an anchor for anchor lines or persons2.5anchor slingsling, strop or lanyard made from textiles, wire rope or chain, which is used to provide an anchor point, such as for anchor lines, to anchors to which it is not possible to connect directly2.6ascenderrope adjustment device which, whenever attach
33、ed to an anchor line of appropriate type and diameter, locks under load in one direction and slides freely in the opposite directionINTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22846-2:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 22846-2:2012ISO 22846-2:2012(E)2.7back-up devicerope adjustment device for a safety line
34、 of appropriate type and diameter, which accompanies the user during changes of position or allows adjustment of the length of the safety line, and which locks automatically to the safety line or only allows gradual movement along it, whenever a sudden load is applied in one directionNOTE 1 The even
35、t of a fall is an example of when a sudden load is likely to be applied in one direction.NOTE 2 Some back-up devices have the additional capacity to control energy in the event of a fall.2.8competent persondesignated person suitably trained or qualified by knowledge and practical experience to enabl

43、by a sheathNOTE The core is usually the main load-bearing element and typically consists of parallel elements, which have been drawn and turned together in single or multiple layers, or of braided elements. The sheath is generally braided or woven and protects the core from, for example, external ab

48、d be undertaken.NOTE 2 It is also known in some jurisdictions as safety method statement, work method statement or safe work method statement and may form part of documents, such as job safety and environment analysis. Other similar terms may be used in some jurisdictions.2.24restrainttechnique wher
