7、Ministerial Gazette) by the Bundesanstalt fr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) (German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), it is to be presumed that chocks which comply with this standard fulfil the relevant health and safety requirements. Where they comply with the provisio

28、ation in the rock, can withstand a load Note 1 to entry: See Annex A for protection provided by chocks. 3.2 means of attachment part of a chock which allows the attachment of a connector Note 1 to entry: Applies to connectors in accordance with EN 12275. 3.3 holding force force necessary to cause th
29、e chock or its means of attachment to break or to be pulled through the test apparatus Note 1 to entry: The force is determined in the strength test according to 5.4.2. DIN EN 12270:2014-03 EN 12270:2013(E)5 4 Requirements 4.1 Design 4.1.1 Chocks may be fitted with a means of attachment by the manuf
30、acturer. 4.1.2 If a chock is not fitted with a means of attachment, the chock shall be designed such that a means of attachment consisting of tape (according to EN 565) or accessory cord (according to EN 564) or rope (according to EN 892 or EN 1891) can be affixed. 4.1.3 If there is a textile means
31、of attachment, whose strength is dependent on the integrity of the stitching, then the stitching shall contrast with the background in colour or surface appearance. 4.1.4 Any means of attachment shall be large enough to accommodate a pin with a diameter of (15 0,1) mm. 4.1.5 All edges of the chock a
32、nd/or the means of attachment that can come into contact with fingers or combinable components shall be free from burrs. 4.2 Strength When tested according to 5.4.2, the holding force shall be at least the one(s) marked on the chock (see Clause 6 b) and be not less than 2,0 kN. 5 Test methods 5.1 Te
33、st samples For the test, as many test samples shall be provided as there are different chock orientations indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions for use. If a chock model is manufactured in different sizes, each size shall be tested. 5.2 Test apparatus for strength test 5.2.1 Layout The a
34、pparatus consists of two round steel supporting jaws with a radius R = (65 2) mm for the chock and by means of a loading bar with a diameter of (10 0,1) mm for the means of attachment, see Figure 2 and Figure 6. An apparatus consisting of two round steel supporting jaws with a radius R = (25 1) mm s
35、hall be used for testing chocks where bmaxof the tested position S 12 kN If used correctly, sufficiently strong to withstand the highest conceivable forces generated in a fall. If used correctly, sufficiently strong to withstand the highest conceivable forces generated in a fall, provided a dynamic
36、belay is in use and effective. 12 S 7 kN Not recommended for use on its own, since it will not withstand the highest conceivable force. It may be used as one component of a belay system where the force of a fall is shared between the components. If used correctly, sufficiently strong to withstand ty
37、pical forces generated in a fall, provided a dynamic belay is in use and effective. It cannot be relied upon to withstand the highest forces that could be generated in a fall. S 7 kN Only to be used as part of a multicomponent belay system where the force of a fall will be shared between several com
38、ponents. Even if used correctly, and with a dynamic belay in use, it cannot be relied upon to withstand typical forces generated in a fall. Wherever possible, it should be backed up with one or more devices of similar strength, in such a way as to share the load. General The behaviour of a chock in
39、rock, when loaded dynamically, is not fully predictable. At least two independent anchor points should always be used, each capable of providing protection as above.
