26、lowing terms and definitions apply. 3.1 guided type fall arrester including a flexible anchor line sub-system consisting of a flexible anchor line, a self-locking guided type fall arrester which is attached to the flexible anchor line and a connector or a connector-terminated lanyard. An energy diss
27、ipating function may be installed between the fall arrester and the anchor line or an energy absorber may be incorporated in the lanyard or in the anchor line EN 3631 3.2 guided type fall arrester fall arrester with a self-locking function and a guide facility. The guided type fall arrester travels
28、along an anchor line, accompanies the user without requiring manual adjustment during upward or downward changes of position and locks automatically on the anchor line when a fall occurs EN 3631 3.3 flexible anchor line connecting element specified for a sub-system with a guided type fall arrester.
29、A flexible anchor line may be a synthetic fibre rope or a wire rope and is intended to for securing to an upper anchor point EN 3631 4 EN 353-212002 (E) 3.4 energy absorber element or a component of a fall arrest system, which is designed to dissipate the kinetic energy developed during a fall from
30、a height EN 3631 3.5 lanyard connecting element or component of a fall arrest system. A lanyard may be of synthetic fibre rope, wire rope, webbing or chain EN 3631 3.6 length of lanyard length LI in metres from one load bearing point to the other load bearing point measured in an unloaded, but taut
31、condition of the lanyard EN 3631 3.7 length of energy absorber including lanyard total length it in metres from one load bearing point to the other load bearing point measured in an unloaded, but taut condition of the energy absorber including lanyard EN 3631 3.8 braking force maximum force F, in ki
32、lonewtons measured at the anchor point or the anchor line during the braking period of the dynamic performance test EN 3631 3.9 arrest distance vertical distance Hin metres measured at the mobile load bearing point of the connecting sub-system from the initial position (onset of the free fall) to th
33、e final position (equilibrium after the arrest), excluding the displacements of the full body harness and its attachment element EN 3631 4 Requirements 4.1 Design and ergonomics The general requirements for the design and ergonomics are specified in 4.1 of EN 363:2002. 4.2 Materials and construction
34、 A flexible anchor line shall be a synthetic fibre rope or a wire rope. The material of a flexible anchor line shall comply with 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 of EN 354:2002. Flexible anchor lines shall be secured to an upper anchor point and shall be either fitted with an end stop or be capable of being fitted wi
35、th an end stop to prevent the guided type fall arrester from running off the anchor line unintended. Guided type fall arresters shall not rely solely on inertia sensing. If a guided type fall arrester has a manual locking feature (i. e. a feature which locks the guided type fall arrester on the flex
36、ible anchor line), the lower end of the flexible anchor line shall be secured, e. g. by an attached lower termination or an attachment weight. Flexible anchor wire ropes shall have an attached lower termination or an attachment weight in every case. A guided type fall arrester shall be equipped with
37、 a connector or a connector-terminated lanyard with a maximum length of 1 m including, if applicable, an energy absorber and connectors. If the fall arrester is only equipped with a connector, it may be permanently attached to the fall arrester or be detachable from the fall arrester. If the fall ar
38、rester is equipped with a lanyard, one end of the lanyard shall be permanently attached to the fall arrester and the other end of the lanyard shall be terminated with a connector. The length of lanyard LI shall be specified by the manufacturer 5 EN 353-212002 (E) and be reported in the information s
39、upplied by the manufacturer (see 7 c). A lanyard may be made from synthetic fibre rope, webbing, wire rope or chain. The material of a lanyard shall conform to 4.2.2,4.2.3 or 4.2.4 of EN 354:2002. A guided type fall arrester may be equipped with an opening device. If the guided type fall arrester is
40、 equipped with an opening device, it shall be so designed that it can only be detached or attached by at least two consecutive deliberate manual actions. An energy absorber for a sub-system with a guided type fall arrester shall conform to EN 355. Energy absorbers integrated in the lanyard shall con
41、form to EN 355, but need not be tested in accordance with 5.2 of EN 355:2002. Connectors for a sub-system with a guided type fall arrester shall conform to EN 362. 4.3 Locking 4.3.1 Locking after conditioning When the guided type fall arrester and the flexible anchor line are conditioned as describe
42、d in 5.1.2.1 and tested as described in 5.1.2.3 with a test mass of 5 kg, the guided type fall arrester shall in each case lock and remain locked until released. 4.3.2 Locking after optional conditioning If the information supplied by the manufacturer of the guided type fall arrester (see clause 7)
43、claims a feature concerning the use under specific conditions (see 5.1.2.2), the locking function of the fall arrester shall be tested accordingly. When conditioned as described in 5.1.2.2 and tested as described in 5.1.2.3 with a test mass of 5 kg, the guided type fall arrester shall in each case l
44、ock and remain locked until released. 4.4 Static strength 4.4.1 Anchor line When tested as described in 5.2.2.1, textile anchor lines shall sustain a force of at least 22 kN and anchor wire ropes shall sustain a force of at least 15 kN. 4.4.2 Guided type fall arrester including lanyard and connector
45、 When tested as described in 5.2.2.2, the guided type fall arrester including lanyard and connector shall sustain a force of at least 15 kN. 4.5 Dynamic performance When tested as described in 5.3 with a rigid steel mass of 100 kg, the braking force F, shall not exceed 6 kN and the arrest distance H
46、 shall be H 2 i + 1 m with i = it for a lanyard including energy absorber, i = i, for a lanyard without energy absorber and i = length of a connector for a device without lanyard and energy absorber. 4.6 Corrosion resistance After the test described in 5.4 has been carried out, the component parts o
47、f the guided type fall arrester shall be examined. Where necessary to gain visual access to the internal component parts, the device shall be dismantled. The test is classed as a failure if any corrosion is evident that could affect the function of the device. (White scaling or tarnishing is accepta
48、ble.) 6 EN 353-212002 (E) 4.7 Marking and information Marking of the guided type fall arrester including a flexible anchor line shall be in accordance with clause 6.
