General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 813:2024 - Personal fall protection equipment - Sit harnesses (CEN) is the updated European Standard that specifies requirements, testing, marking and manufacturer’s information for sit harnesses used in restraint, work positioning and rope access systems where a low (ventral) attachment point is required. Importantly, sit harnesses covered by EN 813:2024 are not suitable for fall arrest. The standard supersedes EN 813:2008 and was approved by CEN in January 2024.
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 813:2024 sets out ergonomic, material, design and performance rules including:
- Scope and definitions for sit harness components (attachment point, load‑bearing parts, back support, fastening/adjustment elements).
- Ergonomics: harnesses must support a wearer in an upright sitting position, permit necessary movement without undue discomfort, remain correctly adjusted and avoid pressure on groin, inner thighs, armpits or small of the back.
- Attachment points: at least one central front (ventral) attachment point is required; provision for two linked elements is permitted. Additional side/back points must comply with EN 358:2018.
- Materials: skin‑contacting materials must not cause irritation; webbings/sewing threads must be man‑made fibres with known tenacity (≥ 0.6 N/tex); contrasting thread colour for inspection; metal parts free of sharp edges.
- Back support and load zones: minimum dimensional requirements (e.g., specific minimum widths and surface area for back support; load‑bearing zones ≥ 43 mm).
- Fastening & adjustment: fastening elements must require at least two deliberate manual actions to open and must resist unintentional opening; slippage of webbing through adjustment elements ≤ 20 mm when tested.
- Strength & corrosion tests:
- Dynamic drop test with a 100 kg torso dummy - harness must retain the dummy after first impact and no load‑bearing part may fail.
- Static strength: withstand 15 kN for 3 minutes without failure.
- Corrosion resistance of metallic components (tests referenced, e.g., EN ISO 9227).
Practical applications and users
EN 813:2024 is essential for:
- Manufacturers and designers of sit harnesses to design, test and CE‑mark products compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425.
- Testing laboratories and certifying bodies performing strength, dynamic and ergonomic tests.
- Procurement officers, safety managers and specifiers selecting PPE for rope access, work positioning or restraint systems where low attachment is required.
- Rope access technicians, arborists, rescue teams and trainers who need to understand equipment limits - notably that sit harnesses according to this standard are not for fall arrest.

SIST EN 813:2024は、座型ハーネスに関する欧州標準であり、個人用墜落防止装備の重要な側面を規定しています。この標準は、拘束、作業位置決め、およびロープアクセスシステムにおける使用を目的としており、低い取り付け点が必要な場合に適用されます。具体的には、座型ハーネスは墜落停止目的には適していないことが明記されています。 この標準の強みは、製品に対する要件、試験方法、マーキング、および製造者が提供する指示と情報を詳細に定義している点です。これにより、ユーザーは座型ハーネスの使用に関してクリアなガイドラインを得ることができ、安全性を高めることが可能です。また、明確なマークや表示要件があることで、使用者や関連業界が製品を正しく識別・理解できるようになっています。 さらに、SIST EN 813:2024は、ロープアクセスや作業位置決めの文脈で使用されるため、特に建設業界や高所作業に従事するプロフェッショナルにとって非常に関連性の高い標準です。そのため、適切な座型ハーネスの選択や使用において、この標準の遵守がもたらす影響は計り知れません。このように、SIST EN 813:2024は安全で効率的な作業環境を構築するために欠かせない基準と言えるでしょう。
Die Norm EN 813:2024, betitelt "Persönliche Fallschutzgeräte - Sitzgeschirre", bietet einen umfassenden Rahmen für die Anforderungen, Prüfungen, Kennzeichnungen sowie Herstelleranweisungen und -informationen bezüglich Sitze von Geschirren. Diese europäische Norm richtet sich speziell an Sitze von Geschirren, die in verschiedenen Anwendungen wie Zurückhaltung, Arbeitspositionierung und Seilzugangssystemen eingesetzt werden, wobei ein tief sitzender Anbindungspunkt erforderlich ist. Ein zentrales Merkmal dieser Norm ist ihre strikte Fokussierung auf die Sicherheit und Funktionalität von Sitzen von Geschirren, die nicht für den Sturzschutz konzipiert sind. Dies stellt sicher, dass Anwender und Hersteller klare und einheitliche Informationen erhalten, was die Nutzung dieser Ausrüstung betrifft. Darüber hinaus wird durch die klaren Anforderungen und Prüfstandards die Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit der Produkte sichergestellt, die in kritischen Arbeitssituationen eingesetzt werden. Die Relevanz der EN 813:2024 zeigt sich in der Tatsache, dass sie Unternehmen nicht nur bei der Einhaltung von Sicherheitsstandards unterstützt, sondern auch dazu beiträgt, das Bewusstsein für Sicherheitspraktiken im Bereich der persönlichen Fallschutzgeräte zu stärken. Die Förderung von standardisierten Anforderungen und Anweisungen führt zu einem verbesserten Schutz für die Benutzer, da sie sich darauf verlassen können, dass die Produkte den hohen Anforderungen an Sicherheit und Funktionalität entsprechen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN 813:2024 eine bedeutende Norm ist, die klar definierte Anforderungen und Prüfungskriterien für Sitzgeschirre bis ins Detail regelt und somit anwendungsorientierte Lösungen im Bereich der persönlichen Fallschutzgeräte bietet.
The EN 813:2024 standard is a crucial document that defines the specifications for personal fall protection equipment, specifically sit harnesses. Its primary scope revolves around establishing comprehensive requirements, testing protocols, marking guidelines, and manufacturer instructions tailored for sit harnesses. These harnesses are essential components in restraint, work positioning, and rope access systems, particularly where a low point of attachment is necessary. One of the strengths of EN 813:2024 lies in its meticulous approach to ensuring safety and usability. The standard's rigorous testing requirements guarantee that sit harnesses adhere to high safety benchmarks, thus providing users with reliable equipment that meets industry demands. The clarity in marking and labeling provisions further enhances user comprehension, allowing for a straightforward selection process in various work environments. Furthermore, the standard’s focus on non-fall arrest applications delineates the specific contexts in which sit harnesses are to be utilized, greatly reducing the likelihood of misuse in scenarios unsuitable for their design. This delineation not only protects users but also reinforces the integrity of the fall protection equipment sector. Overall, EN 813:2024 serves as a pivotal resource that balances technical rigor with practical application, ensuring that manufacturers and users of sit harnesses are well-informed and equipped with the tools necessary for safe working practices in both restraint and work positioning scenarios. Its relevance in the field of personal fall protection equipment cannot be overstated, as it directly contributes to enhanced safety standards and operational efficiency in industries reliant on these harnesses.
La norme SIST EN 813:2024 est une référence essentielle dans le domaine des équipements de protection individuelle, spécifiquement pour les harnais de siège. La portée de cette norme européenne est clairement définie : elle établit les exigences, les méthodes d'essai, ainsi que les instructions et informations du fabricant concernant les harnais de siège utilisés dans des systèmes de maintien, de positionnement au travail et d'accès par corde, où un point d'attache bas est nécessaire. Parmi ses forces, la norme insiste sur la sécurité des utilisateurs en précisant que les harnais de siège ne sont pas adaptés à des fins d'arrêt de chute, ce qui est crucial pour éviter des malentendus et garantir une utilisation appropriée. De plus, la norme aborde la marquage des équipements, offrant ainsi une assurance sur la conformité des produits aux exigences établies. La pertinence de la norme SIST EN 813:2024 est indéniable, surtout dans un contexte où la sécurité au travail est primordiale. Elle répond aux attentes des opérateurs de terrain tout en fournissant un cadre clair pour les fabricants, permettant ainsi d'harmoniser les pratiques à travers l'Europe. En résumé, cette norme représente un outil indispensable pour assurer la sécurité et la protection des professionnels utilisant des harnais de siège dans divers environnements de travail.
