BRAIDED ROPES WITH LOW EXTENSION COEFFICIENTS The standard NF EN 1891 August 1998 applies to kernmantle ropes with low extension coefficients, with diameters from 8.5 mm to 16 mm, used by individuals carrying out access by rope, all types of workstation positioning and restraint included, as well as for rescue operations and caving. There are two types of kernmantle rope defined: Type A ropes and Type B ropes. The standard NF EN 1891 August 1998 specifies the requirements, testing, marking, and information that the manufacturer must provide, including instructions for use, for kernmantle ropes with low extension coefficients of this type. Principle of standard testing During the tests carried out, the kernmantle ropes with low extension coefficients must support a stress of at least 22 kN for a Type A rope, and at least 18 kN for a Type B rope. TEMPORARY WORKSITE GUARDRAIL The standard EN 13374 July 2013 specifies the requirements and testing methods relating to temporary peripheral guardrails designed for use during construction or maintenance on buildings and other structures. It applies to peripheral guardrails for flat and inclined surfaces, and specifies the requirements relating to three classes of temporary peripheral guardrails. For peripheral guardrails fulfilling an anti-fall function (e.g. fall or sliding on a sloping roof), this standard specifies the requirements concerning energy absorption. The standard EN 13374 July 2013 covers peripheral guardrails, including those which are attached to the structure and those which are founded on the stress of gravity and friction on flat surfaces. TEMPORARY GUARDRAILS ROOFING - TERRACES The standard NF P 93-55 specifies the minimum requirements and testing methods relating to temporary peripheral protection for new builds or renovations, or roofing sealing works. It applies to flat or inclined roofing with a slope below 10°. It specifies the requirement concerning energy absorption for protection in this activity. It doesn't set out any requirements regarding: - Protection against impact implicating mobile equipment: - Protection of the public against falls. INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATION PROTECTION This standard applies to all machines (fixed or mobile) whereby fixed access means are necessary. This standard applies to stairways, stepladders and guardrails which form an integral part of a machine. This standard may also apply to stairways, stepladders and guardrails providing access to parts of the building where the machine is installed, subject to the main function of this part of the building being to provide access to the machine. This standard also applies to stairways, stepladders and guardrails specific to the machine which are not permanently attached to the machine and which can be dismantled or moved aside for certain operations on the machine (e.g. to change the tools of a large press). For significant hazardous phenomena covered by this standard, refer to Article 4 of EN ISO 14122-1.

NF E 85-015 July 2019

The standard NF E85-015 specifies design guidelines and sets out the key dimensions for metal guardrails, stairways and stepladders used by maintenance, fulfilment and operating staff. This document concerns work places such as industrial buildings, industrial facilities, technical decks and premises, etc. It's also applicable to access means installed in buildings and facilities which house machinery. Within this context, it also covers the prevention of falls and excessive physical strain for individuals.
