Anchorage requirements
Fig. B
• According to EN 795 the minimum strength of any anchorage is 10kN
• Check anchorage for signs of deterioration
• As with all fall arrest gear, anchorages must be subjected to regular inspections through a
competent person. Inspect at least once every three months, and record findings in a dedicated
Positioning
service record
• Check that the Karabiner (2) is the correct size for the anchorage to be used. If the Karabiner is
too small, use an anchor sling to connect to the anchorage
Anchorage position
• The anchorage of the system should preferably be located above the user's position
Use as part of a fall arrest system
• Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall be capable of sustaining a static load, applied in
the directions permitted by the system of at least
• 22kN for non-certified anchorages, or
• Two times the maximum arrest force for certified anchorages
• If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the required strength should be
multiplied by the number of systems attached
Use as part of a work positioning system
• Structures to which a work positioning system is attached should be capable of sustaining a static
load, applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 13kN, or twice the potential
impact force, whichever is greatest. If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the
required strength should be multiplied by the number of systems attached
Use as part of a restraint system
• Anchorages to which a restraint or travel restraint system is attached should be capable of
sustaining a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least
• 4.5kN for non-certified anchorages, or
• Two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages
• If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the required strength should be
multiplied by the number of systems attached
