1.2 Description of the Product and Hazards
The Söll GlideLoc fall arrester "Söll VR500" (hereafter "fall arrester") is a component of
the fall protection system named Söll GlideLoc which is equipped with a fixed guide rail
designed to protect against fall from height. This fall protection system is certified in ac-
cordance with the norms EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017; TP TC 019/2011; ANSI-ASC A14.3-
2008; NBR 14627. The operating company of the fall arrest system has to suitably ensure
that all users are supplied with their own full body harness compliant with standard EN 361;
ANSI Z359.1 – 2007; NBR 15836 and its own fall arrester and that they are used accord-
ing to the current instructions.
