IMPORTANT: the tracpode may be used as a
temporary anchor point (EN 795-B: 2012), which can be
fitted with fall-arrest systems (conforming with EN
363:2002), rescue lifting devices (conforming with EN
1496:2017 type A or B), and devices which allow
working while suspended from a rope in accordance
with directive 2001/45/EC.
If the tracpode is used as a system for lifting loads, in
accordance with directive 2006/42/EC, it must not be
used simultaneously as a temporary anchor point.
The tracpode is a CE-marked anchor point covered
by the PPE directive. The certificate of conformity
issued by the APAVE certification body covers its use
in accordance with the requirements stated in standard
EN 795:2012 and TS16415:2013.
The certificate of conformity with regard to PPE issued
by the APAVE certification body excludes applications
associated with other directives. These other products
require, depending on what they are used for, a
declaration of conformity with:
• Standard EN 1496:2017, rescue lifting systems.
• Directive 2001/45/EC, devices which allow working
while suspended from a rope (rope access work).
• Directive 2006/42/EC, CE-marked lifting application.

2. Before using this safety device, it is essential that
users receive training in how to use it. Check the
condition of all associated equipment and make
sure that there is sufficient clearance below the
person in the event of a fall.
3. The tracpode must only be used by trained and
competent personnel, or under the supervision of
trained and competent personnel.
4. Any tracpode which does not appear to be in good
condition or which has already served to arrest a
fall should be checked, along with all its associated
equipment, by TRACTEL SAS or by a qualified and
competent technician who must provide written
authorisation for the continued use of the system.
It is advisable to carry out a visual inspection prior
to each use.
5. The equipment should not undergo any modification
or addition without prior written approval from
TRACTEL SAS. The equipment must be transported
and stored in its original packaging.
6. If a periodic inspection has not been performed
on the tracpode during the previous 12 months
or it has served to arrest a fall then it must not be
used. It can only be used again after a new periodic
inspection has been carried out by an approved and
competent technician who can authorise its use in
writing. In the absence of these inspections and
authorisations, the tracpode shall be deemed unfit
for use and destroyed.
