SS 528-6:2006 (2026)
Personal fall-arrest systems – Part 6: System performance tests
OVERVIEW
This part of SS 528 specifies tests and requirements for complete personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) made up from specific combinations of components and subsystems selected from those conforming to the other parts of SS 528 and to ISO 14567, where it is both important and desirable to ascertain satisfactory system performance and interactive component compatibility. It includes PFAS performance tests using a rigid torso test mass as a surrogate for the faller. Examples of personal fall arrest systems, as well as descriptions of how components or subsystems may be connected together to constitute a system, are also given.
This part of SS 528 is applicable to PFAS limited to single-person use of a total mass not exceeding
100 kg and, when activated, will arrest the person and limit the arresting force to a maximum of 6 kN.
