24、353-1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 160 “Protection against falls from height including working belts”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorseme
25、nt, at the latest by April 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying an

BS EN 353-1:2014EN 353-1:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is intended to act as a complementary standard for existing European Standards covering other components used in personal f
30、all protection systems. The scope and the requirements are based on the philosophy that a guided type fall arrester including a rigid anchor line is rated to sustain the maximum dynamic load generated in a fall from a height by the mass of one person, including any equipment carried. This European S
31、tandard provides requirements and test methods for guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line used in personal fall protection systems in accordance with EN 363. BS EN 353-1:2014EN 353-1:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods, marking, inform
32、ation supplied by the manufacturer and packaging for guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line. This anchor line is usually attached to or integrated in ladders or rungs adequately fixed to suitable structures. Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line conforming to thi
33、s European Standard are components of one of the fall arrest systems covered by EN 363. This European Standard applies to rigid anchor lines which are intended to be installed vertically and/or with a combination of forward-leaning angle and/or sideways leaning angle between the true vertical and th
34、e vertical +15 (see Figure 2). Multi-user applications, i.e. rigid anchor lines that allow more than one user to be attached at any one time, are not addressed in this document. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are i
35、ndispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
