According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to announce this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,

This Technical Specification, which gives minimum performance requirements, is intended to act as a complementary specification for
26、 existing European Standards covering components used in personal fall protection systems. The scope and the requirements are based on the philosophy that anchor devices are rated to sustain the maximum dynamic force generated in a fall from a height by the mass of more than one person, including an
27、y equipment carried. The static strength tests are based on a minimum factor of safety of two. To allow for foreseeable misuse of equipment, this Technical Specification provides requirements and test methods for anchor devices, used in personal fall protection equipment in accordance with EN 363, e
28、ven if their intended use is for restraint. It is essential that anchor devices are designed and manufactured so that, in the foreseeable conditions of use for which they are intended, the user is able to perform the risk-related activity while being appropriately protected. Manufacturers may wish t
29、o bear these points in mind when deciding on the actual performance of their products. PD CEN/TS 16415:2013CEN/TS 16415:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Specification sets out recommendations for requirements, test apparatus, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer for an
30、chor devices intended for use by more than one user simultaneously. This Technical Specification is not applicable to: anchor devices intended to allow only one user to be attached at any one time, which are covered by EN 795:2012; anchor devices used in any sports or recreational activity; equipmen
31、t designed to conform to EN 516 or EN 517; elements or parts of structures which were installed for use other than as anchor points or anchor devices, e.g. beams, girders; structural anchors. NOTE Requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer for anchor devices int
32、ended for use by a single user are covered by European Standard EN 795:2012. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
