Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the third edition of CSA Z259.12, Connecting components for personal fall-arrest systems (PFAS). It supersedes the previous editions, published in 2011 and 2001. <\/p>\n

This Standard is part of a series of Standards on components of fall-protection systems and provides performance requirements, test methods, and requirements for marking individual components used as part of a personal fall-arrest system. <\/p>\n

Changes to this edition include <\/p>\n

a) updates to definitions and figures;
b) revision to soft loop testing procedure;
c) revisions to the marking requirements; and
d) addition of requirements for transverse body loading (both static and dynamic). <\/p>\n

CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the Canadian government departments responsible for occupational health and safety. <\/p>\n

Scope<\/h4>\n

1.1
This Standard specifies design and performance requirements, test methods, and requirements for marking and labelling individual connecting components used as part of a personal fall-arrest system (PFAS). This Standard applies to components that are <\/p>\n

a) used in the interconnection of a complete PFAS unit in accordance with the applicable CSA Z259 series of standards;
b) intended to be used as the primary single link to a permanent anchorage connector; or
c) intended to be used as a primary attachment point between two or more subsystems. <\/p>\n

1.2
This Standard does not apply to anchorage connectors that are covered under CAN\/CSA-Z259.15. <\/p>\n

1.3
In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. <\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. <\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. <\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. <\/p>\n

1.4
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
