Temporary edge protection systems - Product specification - Test methods
This document specifies the requirements and test methods for temporary edge protection systems for use during construction or maintenance of buildings and other structures.
This document applies to edge protection systems for flat and inclined surfaces and specifies the requirements for three classes of temporary edge protection.
For edge protection systems with an arrest function (e.g. falling or sliding down a sloping roof) this document specifies requirements for energy absorption.
This document includes edge protection systems, some of which are fixed to the structure and others, which rely on gravity and friction on flat surfaces.
This document does not provide requirements for edge protection systems intended for:
— protection against impact from vehicles or from other mobile equipment,
— protection from sliding down of bulk loose materials, snow etc,
— protection of areas accessible to the public.
This document does not apply to side protection on scaffolds according to EN 12811 1 and EN 1004 1.
NOTE This does not prevent these systems to be used on temporary structures.
Temporäre Seitenschutzsysteme - Produktfestlegungen - Prüfverfahren
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für temporäre Seitenschutzsysteme fest, die während der Errichtung oder der Instandhaltung von Gebäuden oder sonstigen Baukonstruktionen angewendet werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Seitenschutzsysteme an ebenen und geneigten Flächen und legt die Anforderungen an temporäre Seitenschutzsysteme fest, die nach drei Klassen unterschieden werden.
Für Seitenschutzsysteme mit Auffangfunktion (z. B. beim Fallen oder Abgleiten von einer geneigten Dachfläche) werden in diesem Dokument Anforderungen an die Energieaufnahmefähigkeit festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument erfasst sowohl Seitenschutzsysteme, die mit der Konstruktion verbunden werden, als auch andere, deren Lage auf ebenen Oberflächen durch Schwerkraft und Reibung gesichert wird.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anforderungen an Seitenschutzsysteme, die vorgesehen sind für den Schutz:
gegen Stöße durch Fahrzeuge oder andere bewegliche Geräte;
gegen das Abgleiten von losem Schüttgut, Schnee usw.;
von Passanten in öffentlich zugänglichen Bereichen.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Seitenschutzbauteile an Gerüsten nach EN 12811 1 und EN 1004 1.
ANMERKUNG Das heißt nicht, dass die Verwendung dieser Systeme an temporären Konstruktionen ausgeschlossen ist.
Garde-corps périphériques temporaires - Spécification du produit - Méthodes d'éssai
Le présent document spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d’essai relatives aux garde-corps périphériques temporaires destinés à être utilisés lors de la construction ou de l’entretien de bâtiments et d’autres structures.
Le présent document s’applique aux garde-corps périphériques pour surfaces planes et inclinées et spécifie les exigences relatives à trois classes de garde-corps périphériques temporaires.
Pour les garde-corps périphériques remplissant une fonction antichute (par exemple, chute ou glissade le long d’une toiture inclinée), le présent document spécifie les exigences concernant l’absorption d’énergie.
Le présent document traite des garde-corps périphériques : certains sont fixés à la structure tandis que d’autres reposent sur la gravité et le frottement sur des surfaces planes.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas d’exigences relatives à des garde-corps périphériques destinés à :
— la protection contre les impacts de véhicules ou d’autres équipements mobiles ;
— la protection contre le glissement de masses de matériaux meubles, neige, etc. ;
— la protection des zones accessibles au grand public.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas à la protection latérale sur les échafaudages conformes à l’EN 12811-1 et l’EN 1004-1.
NOTE Cela n’empêche pas d’utiliser ces garde-corps sur des structures temporaires.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13374:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 53 “Temporary
works equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13374:2013+A1:2018.
Temporary edge protection systems are used in construction work, primarily to prevent persons and
objects from falling to a lower level from roofs, edges, stairs and other areas where protection is required.
In most European countries temporary edge protection, or other types of fall protection devices, are
required when a risk assessment identifies a fall risk regardless of height. In contrast to being secured by
a lanyard, greater mobility in the working area is provided when edge protection is in place. The
temporary edge protection can i
