EN 12572-1:2017 (E) 6 4 Safety requirements and test methods 4.1 Layout and placement of individual protection points If there are individual protection points, the height of the first point shall not exceed 3,10 m. The distance x between the placement of the individual protectio
43、n points (see Figure 1) from height h shall be determined as follows: 1 m if h 4 m; 1,10 m for h 4 m; 1,20 m for h 5 m; 1,30 m for h 6 m; 1,40 m for h 7 m; 1,50 m for h 8 m; 2,00 m for h 10 m. The distance x may have a tolerance of 10 %. h is the distance between the point and the ground measured ve
44、rtically, in metres, beneath the point in all cases. For protection points, the maximum distance shall be measured from the lowest internal point of the attachment point. If permanent quick draws are installed, the maximum distance shall be measured from lower quick draw end to lower quick draw end.
45、 A permanent quick draw (e.g. chain secure element, Maillon Rapide) shall be disassembled from the climbing wall by means of tools (see Figure 2). Protection points attached with bolts shall be secured, so they cannot come undone, e.g. with lock nuts. DIN EN 12572-1:2017-05 N2)N2)National footnote:

Individual top protection points shall be attached to the structure by two or more po
48、ints of fixation .Each fixation point shall be calculated as a protection point. Each link between the fixing points shall have a resistance greater than or equal to each of the points which it joins together; this resistance shall be verified by either calculation (see Annex A), or a document of co
49、mpliance, or tests as defined in Annex C. 4.2.2 Dimensions The minimum dimensions of all protection points and stance points with the exception of individual and collective top protection systems shall be in accordance with Figure 3. Other designs meeting the requirements of Figure 3 are also permissible.
