Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line

This document specifies the requirements, test methods, marking, information supplied by the
manufacturer and packaging for guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line.

This anchor line is usually attached to or integrated in ladders or rungs adequately fixed to suitable structures.
Guided type fall arresters including a rigid anchor line conforming to this European Standard are components
of one of the fall arrest systems covered by EN 363.

This document  applies to rigid anchor lines which are intended to be installed vertically and/or with a combination
of forward-leaning angle and/or sideways leaning angle between the true vertical and the vertical +15°.

Multi-user applications, i.e. rigid anchor lines that allow more than one user to be attached at any one time, are not
addressed in this document.
