Diese feste Führung ist in der Regel an Leitern oder Sprossen, die an geeigneten baulichen Einrichtungen angemessen angebracht sind, befestigt oder in diesen eingebaut. Mitlaufende Auffanggeräte einschließlich fester Führung, die dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen, sind Bestandteile eines der Auffangsysteme nach EN 363.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für feste Führungen, die zur Installation in vertikaler Anordnung und/oder zur Installation in Kombination einer Vorwärts- und/oder Seitwärtsneigung von bis zu 15° zur absoluten Vertikalen (siehe Bild 2) vorgesehen sind.
Anwendungen für mehrere Benutzer, d. h. feste Führungen, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie gleichzeitig durch mehrere Personen verwendet werden können, werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
Équipement de protection individuelle contre les chutes de hauteur - Antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage - Partie 1 : Antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide
La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences, les méthodes d'essai, le marquage, la notice d'information du fabricant et l'emballage des antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide. Ce support d'assurage est généralement accroché ou intégré à des échelles ou à des barreaux d'ascension fixés de manière adéquate sur des structures appropriées. Les antichutes mobiles incluant un support d'assurage rigide conformes à la présente Norme européenne sont des composants de l'un des systèmes d'arrêt des chutes couverts par l'EN 363.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux supports d'assurage rigides destinés à être installés verticalement et/ou en combinaison avec un angle d'inclinaison vers l'avant et/ou un angle d'inclinaison latéral entre la véritable verticale et la verticale 15° (voir Figure 2).
Le présent document ne traite pas des applications destinées à plusieurs utilisateurs, c'est-à-dire des supports d'assurage rigides qui permettent l'accrochage à un moment quelconque de plusieurs utilisateurs.

Overview
SIST EN 353-1:2014/oprA1:2017 outlines the European standard for personal fall protection equipment, specifically focusing on guided type fall arresters that include a rigid anchor line. These systems are designed to prevent falls when working at height by stopping the user's descent and minimizing potential injury. The standard defines strict criteria for the performance, testing, marking, and manufacturer information pertaining to guided type fall arresters with rigid anchor lines.
These rigid anchor lines are usually installed vertically and can be mounted with a limited sideways or forward-leaning angle relative to true vertical, improving their versatility for various structures. Commonly, the rigid anchor line is part of a ladder or is securely fixed to a structure, providing a safe route for workers ascending or descending. This standard does not cover systems intended for simultaneous use by multiple users.
Key Topics
- Scope and Applicability: Specifies requirements applicable to rigid anchor lines installed vertically or at a slight angle, suitable for single-user applications.
- Technical Specifications: Details the features and characteristics that guided type fall arresters must possess when integrated with rigid anchor lines.
- Testing Methods: Includes procedures for evaluating dynamic performance and operation under low temperature conditions, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
- Marking and Manufacturer Information: Outlines what manufacturers must provide regarding labeling, instructions, and packaging to support proper use and compliance.
- Safety Performance: Focuses on critical aspects such as locking distance, arrest distance, and the ability of the system to function in cold conditions.
Applications
The standard plays a pivotal role in a range of industries and situations where safe access at height is a priority:
- Maintenance and Inspection: Ensures safety for workers performing ongoing or routine maintenance on structures equipped with fixed ladders or platforms.
- Construction: Establishes benchmark requirements for fall arrest systems used during the construction of multi-story buildings, towers, bridges, and industrial plants.
- Utilities and Telecommunications: Provides a safety framework for those installing, inspecting, or repairing telecommunications masts, electrical transmission towers, and other vertical structures.
- Industrial Facilities: Applies to fixed access ladders on silos, chimneys, or storage tanks, supporting compliance with workplace safety regulations.
By adhering to SIST EN 353-1:2014/oprA1:2017, organizations enhance worker safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce the risk of fall-related injuries in high-risk environments.
Related Standards
Understanding the context and compatibility of this standard involves recognizing related documents in the personal fall protection domain:
- EN 363: Specifies the components and assemblies for personal fall protection systems, providing the overarching framework within which guided type fall arresters operate.
- EN 353-2: Covers guided type fall arresters including flexible anchor lines, complementing Part 1 of the standard.
- EN 365: Outlines general requirements for instructions, marking, and packaging of fall protection equipment.
- EN 361: Addresses full body harnesses as components of fall arrest systems.
- EN ISO 10333 Series: International standards for personal fall protection, relevant for global alignment and benchmarking.
Conclusion
SIST EN 353-1:2014/oprA1:2017 is essential for manufacturers, safety officers, and end-users involved in working at height, ensuring that guided type fall arresters with rigid anchor lines meet rigorous European safety standards. Implementing this standard significantly contributes to workplace safety, regulatory alignment, and protection against falls from height across various sectors.
