EN 795 relates to devices intended to form the interface between the fall arrest system (harnesses, lanyards, retractable lanyards etc.) and the structure. These can be in the form of single bolts, slings, deadweight devices or anchor systems (rails or cables).
Anchor devices are subject to a series of drop tests carried out on the device fixed as intended, in every intended direction of use. This can often mean a series of tests with the device fitted to a number of different substrates. This can often mean testing on a very large scale, as devices need to be installed as it would be used (often fitted to sample roof surfaces or structures). The tests required are dependant on the class of the device.
Whole anchor products are subjected to tensile tests. These forces are usually between 12 kN and 18 kN depending on the type of anchor device. Tensile forces are applied and held for at least 3 minutes, to ensure the breaking strength of the product is in excess of the force specified by the standard.
Metallic components used in fall protection equipment are subjected to a neutral salt-spray test intended to prove a minimum resistance to environmental corrosion (specically rust). Products are held within a sealed chamber, which is fitted with a salt-water mist, which can induce rust in unprotected metals. Products are subjected to two periods each of 24 hours exposure, separated by a 1 hour drying period, and examined for rusting and function afterward.
