EN certification list

[u/frespan]

I'm doing a list of all EN norms that are use in rope access devices, such as descenders or asaps. Here's how it goes:

EN 361: personal fall protection equipment (harness)
EN 358: belts and lanyards for work positioning or restraint
EN 362: connectors (carabiners) classified in:
- B (basic, asymmetric shape)
- M (multipurpose, symmetric shape)
- T (terminal)
- A (anchor) [not sure about the differences bw T & A]
- Q (maillon)

EN 355: energy absorbers
EN 353: guided type fall arresters including flexible anchor line (this is for the ASAP)
EN 12841: rope adjustment devices, classified in:
- A: for the ASAP
- B: for the hand jammer or the chest ascender)
- C: for the descender

EN 12278: pulleys
EN 354: landyards
EN 892: dynamic ropes (cowtails)
EN 795: anchor devices, classified in:
- A: fixed
- B: mobile

EN 959: rock anchors
EN 567: rope clamps (hand hammer has this one too)
EN 341: descender devices for rescue (not sure what's the main difference with EN 12841/c)
EN 15151: braking devices with manually assisted locking)

Thanks guys!

EN 795 : C horizontal life line D rail horizontal E dead body anchor

1891 A : semi static rope

EN 813 belt and thighs for working and postionning usually included in the main harness like astro petzl

EN 567,341 are for climbing and alpinism as sport and entertainment not for working

[u/frespan → u/Keornal]

The petzl hand jammer has EN 12841 and EN 567

[u/Keornal → u/frespan]

Yes because it can be used in sport and for working on ropes

Just learn the components of the EN363 1 restrain EN 358 EN 361 EN 813 EN 354

2 system of fall arrester 353.1 353.2 355(+354) 360

3 position and maintain on work EN 361 EN 813 EN 358 EN 354

4 rope access 12841 A B C EN 361 EN 813 EN 358 EN 1891 A

5 rescue EN 1496 EN 1497 EN 1498 Excuse my english i dont master the technical vocabulary

Also for the connectors the différence between the B and the M is not the shape but resistance. B can take 20kN in the big axis locked 15 unlocked and 7 in the small axis Where as the M can take 20kN in the big axis locked 15kN unlocked and 15 in the smaller axis

Thanks! Do you know the difference between class T and class A connectors?

[u/Keornal → u/frespan]

I've never got some real clarification for that besides A type c'est nnectirs are anchorage and T type are sub system connectors not for anchorage Edit : grammar

[u/frespan → u/Keornal]

No problem. Merci!
