PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS OF USE: The Anchorage Slings have been tested in accordance with EN 795:2012 Type B and have achieved the following performance levels:-

EN 795:2012 Type B test General Requirements for Anchor devices (Clause 4.2) Static Strength (Clause 4.4.2.3) Dynamic Strength & Integrity Test (Clause 4.4.2.2) Corrosion Resistence (Clause 4.7)(EN 364:1992)

Result/Comment (PASS) No sharp edges (PASS). Sustained a force of 12 kN for 3 minutes (PASS). When tested with rigid steel mass of 100 kg, the test mass held after test with the device remaining stable throughout. (PASS). Anchor Holds an increased load of 300 kg for 3 min following dynamic test. No corrosion evident after 48 hours of salt spray testing. (PASS)

3. APPLICATION: The Anchorage Slings have been developed to be used as mobile anchor point. It is useful at working areas where there are horizontal beams or pipes or other structures on which it can be looped and used as anchor point. 4. INSPECTION: Visually inspect the system before each use to enusre that it is in a serviceable condition and is operating correctly. If during inspection, doubts are raised about the safety of the system or a component, these should be replaced either by the manufacturer or a competent person.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE : STEP 1:

Place the sling over the anchorage structure in such a way that both loop ends must hang on each side of the structure. Note: The anchorage structure must be strong enough or known to have a strength of greater than 12 kN. Now tightly wrapped the sling around the anchorage structure. You may shorten the distance from the anchorage by wrapping the sling around the anchorage several times. Once the installation is complete combine both loops for forming an attachment point for making a fall arrest system. Note: As per your requirement you can either attach a retractable fall arrester as per EN 360:2002 using karabiners or an anchorage line of a guided type fall arrestor as per EN 353-2:2002 or the anchorage hook of the lanyard into this point.
