8、 .19 ISO 10333-4:2002(E) iv ISO 2002 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International 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
9、. 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 in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Intern
10、ational 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 3. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Sta
11、ndards 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 some of the elements of this part of ISO 10333 may be
12、 the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10333-4 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
13、consists of the following parts, under the general title Personal fall-arrest systems: 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
14、self-closing and self-locking gates Systems performance tests will be the subject of a future part 6 to ISO 10333. Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 10333. ISO 10333-4:2002(E) ISO 2002 All rights reserved vIntroduction In cases where the hazard of falling from a height exists and wh
15、ere, for technical reasons or for work of very short duration, safe access cannot be otherwise provided, it is necessary to consider the use of personal fall-arrest systems (PFAS). Such use should never be improvised and its adoption should be specifically provided for in the appropriate formal prov
16、isions for safety in the work place. PFAS complying with this part of ISO 10333 should satisfy ergonomic requirements and should 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 th
17、e user. Personnel should be trained and instructed in 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 p
18、art of ISO 10333 presumes that the manufacturer of the 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 sy
19、stem may take can be found in ISO 9000, Quality management systems Fundamentals and vocabulary. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10333-4:2002(E) ISO 2002 All rights reserved 1Personal fall-arrest systems Part 4: Vertical rails and vertical lifelines incorporating a sliding-type fall arrester 1 Scope This
20、part of ISO 10333 specifies requirements, test methods, instructions for use and maintenance, marking, labelling and packaging, as appropriate, for vertical rails and vertical lifelines which incorporate a sliding-type fall arrester. When connected to a full-body harness as specified in ISO 10333-1,
21、 vertical rails and vertical lifelines which incorporate a sliding-type fall arrester constitute a personal fall-arrest system (PFAS), which will be specified in a future International Standard. Vertical rails and vertical lifelines which incorporate a sliding-type fall arrester in accordance with t
22、his part of ISO 10333 are limited to use by a single person of total mass not exceeding 100 kg. NOTE 1 Users of PFAS whose total mass (which includes attached tools and equipment) exceeds 100 kg are advised to seek advice from the equipment manufacturers regarding the suitability of the equipment, w
23、hich may need additional testing. NOTE 2 PFAS using vertical rails and permanent vertical lifelines inherently limit the users horizontal movement, whereas PFAS using a temporary vertical lifeline permit significant horizontal movement by the user. Special notice should be given to the requirements
24、which accommodate this difference. The scope of this part of ISO 10333 does not extend to: a) inclined rails and lifelines, i.e. those which are installed at an angle between the true vertical and the lifeline or rail of more than 15 when viewed from the side elevation; b) the horizontally installed
25、 elements of compound rails or lifelines, i.e. those which have both vertically and horizontally installed elements linked by junctions. This part of ISO 10333 does not specify those additional requirements that would apply when PFAS are subjected to special conditions of use (where, for example, th
26、ere exist unusual limitations concerning access to the place of work and/or particular environmental factors). Thus treatments to ensure the durability of the materials of construction (such as heat treatment, anti-corrosion treatment, protection against physical and chemical hazards) are not specif
27、ied in this part of ISO 10333, but should comply with appropriate International Standards or, failing that, with national standards or other specifications dealing with relevant physical characteristics and/or the safety of users.
