PRODUCT TEST BASED ON EN 795:2012

Rothoblaas anchor devices, some of which are designed for controlled deformation, are certified in all directions (360°). By stopping a fall, the device becomes deformed, absorbing some of the energy transmitted by the fall. Laboratory tests have shown that this deformation may favour fastening systems, which benefit from a reduc tion in the burden on them and on the underlying structure.

LOADS APPLIED DURING TESTS In the absence of collective protection equipment, the law requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in combination with anchoring systems tested and manufactured in accordance with EN 795:2012, in order to allow the operator to access, transit and carry out work safely.

TESTS REQUIRED BY STANDARD EN 795:2012

To obtain certification, anchoring devices have to undergo various tests: • deformation test • dynamic strength and integrity test • static strength test In addition to these tests, in order to cer tify the anchoring devices to be used by several operators, additional tests are performed according to the technical CEN/TS 16415 specification
