Introduction
A reliable anchor device and safety hook are an essential components of any personal fall protection
system.
This European Standard is intended to act as a complementary standard for existing European Standards
covering other components used in fall protection systems.
The purpose and scope of application and the requirements and chracteristics are based on the need that,
in case of fall from height anchor systems including safety hooks bear the dynamic force peak value
generated by the mass of one person or more persons, including any equipment carried. In the end, to
allow for foreseeable misuse of equipment, this standard applies also to systems whose intended use is
for restraint.
This European Standard is intended for the type testing of new products before placing them on the
market and gives only minimum performance requirements and chracteristics. It is essential that safety
hooks and anchor devices are designed and manufactured so that, in the foreseeable conditions of use for
which they are intended, the user is able to perform the risk-related activity while being appropriately
protected at the highest possible level.
Manufacturers may wish to bear these points in mind when deciding on the actual performance of their
products.
These products protect against fatal injury and therefore special requirements and chracteristics apply.

4 Requirements and characteristics
The following requirements and characteristics are divided into general requirements and
characteristics, application specific requirements and characteristics and type specific requirements and
characteristics. Anchor systems have to fulfil the following general requirements and characteristics.
Based on their intended application they have to fulfil the following application based requirements and
characteristics. Each anchor system has to fulfil its type specific requirements and characteristics in
addition to the general and application based requirements and characteristics.
4.1 General requirements and characteristics
This European Standard provides requirements and chracteristics and test methods for anchor systems
intended for the use by one or more user simultaneously. The following requirements and chracteristics
include specific requirements and chracteristics to describe anchor systems supporting up to three users
simultaneously.
Anchor systems shall be tested on load bearing structures on which they are intended to be used. This is
done by testing the anchor system on a specific structure mock-up, which are listed in Clause 5.
In addition, all anchor systems shall be tested in the most critical cases for use in combination with the
most critical intended implementation of the relevant load bearing structure.
4.1.1 Design and ergonomics
When checked in accordance with Clause 5, it shall not be possible for elements of anchor systems to
become detached unintentionally. If an element or a traveller is intended to be detached, it shall be
designed such that it can only be detached after executing two separate, consecutive and deliberate
manual actions.
When checked in accordance with Clause 5, for anchor systems consisting of more than one element and
for anchor systems with elements that can be detached, the design shall be such that those elements
cannot appear to be positively locked together when incorrectly assembled.
Anchor systems shall not have sharp edges or burrs that may cause injury to the user or that may cut,
abrade or otherwise damage itself or any part of the personal fall protection equipment that may come
into contact.
If the anchor system is equipped with a fall indicator, the indicator shall clearly indicate a fall has occurred
after the dynamic test(s).
4.1.2 Corrosion resistance and durability
Metal components of anchor devices [except stainless steel, components in accordance with EN 10088
and non-ferrous metals (e.g. copper, aluminium) components], above or within the roof structure,
