2、STANDARDNational forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 354:2010. Itsupersedes BS EN 354:2002 which is withdrawn.The UK Committee advise users that this European Standard doesnot include requirements or testing for the resistance of textilematerials to ultra-violet (UV) degrada
3、tion and abrasion. Tests forUV and abrasion resistance are under development and it is theUK committees intention that the results be considered in futurerevisions of the standard.There is evidence that UV weakens many man-made fibres.Therefore, users of lanyards conforming to this European Standard
4、are recommended to check with equipment suppliers thatequipment made from textiles is protected from the adverse effectsof UV (e.g. polyamide, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene andaramid). Manufacturers are advised to check with suppliers of textilematerials for the same. Users of textile equip
5、ment should alsocarefully and regularly inspect their equipment for signs of abrasion(both external and, where possible, internal).The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to TechnicalCommittee PH/5, Personal Fall Protection.A list of organizations represented on this committee can beob
