Individual protection against falls from height . Anti-fall systems

Diese Norm enthält Anforderungen an Schutzhandschuhe, die in einer Umgebung mit ionisierender Strahlung oder in einer Umgebung mit radioaktiven Substanzen getragen werden.

Ein Handschuh, der vor radioaktiver Kontamination schützt, muss gemäß EN374-2 auslaufsicher sein.

Ein Handschuh, der vor ionisierender Strahlung schützt, muss gemäß EN374-2 nicht nur auslaufsicher sein, sondern auch eine bestimmte Menge an Schwermetallen wie Blei enthalten.

Spezifikationen für die Sicherheitsanforderungen an die Augen und Gesichtsschutzgeräte für das Schweißen und damit zusammenhängende Techniken (Gestelle/ Filterträger).

Connection element or equipment component. A connector can be karabiner or a snap hook.
Class A: Anchorage connector, automatic lock used as the component and designed to be connected directly to a specific type of anchorage.
Class B: Primary connector with automatic lock used as the component.
Class M: Multi-purpose connector, primary or quick opening, used as a component, which can be loaded along its major axis or minor axis.
Class Q: Quick opening connector used in long-term or permanent applications, screw lock. When completely screwed this part is a supporting part of the
connector.
Class T: Manufactured end connector, automatic lock, designed as part of a subsystem for attachment so that the load is carried in a predetermined direction.

Component of a fall arrest equipment, which guarantees the stop of a fall from a height in safety by reducing the impact of the shock.

WARNING: If we associate a lanyard energy absorber, the total length of the entire device must not exceed 2 m.

Element of a fall arrester system to which a personal protective equipment can be fastened.
