3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 10333. the foaowng terms and detirtions apply.
3.1 SeIfreIractlng lifeline
3.1.1
sett.4-etractlng lifelIne
SRL
connecting subsystem which is anchored above the work place, incorporating a tensioned lifeline, which is extracted and automatically refracted in response to the normal movements of a worker, and a braking means which automatically locks and holds the lifeline ii response to the sudden motion of a tall, In a similar fashion to the operation of a motor car inertia reel seat belt
See Figure 1.
3.1.2
lnlegral.rescue facility
mechanism which is completely integral to the SAL and cannot be removed without dismantling the SAL
NOTE It can be used by a rescuer to recover a worker who, being connected to the SRL. is in post taIarrest suspensn, or has become incapaota)ed. This may involve the rescuer raising or lowering the worker as appropriate,
3.1.3
energy absorbers Integral to the lifelIne
component designed to dissipate the kinetic energy generated during a fall, which limits the arresting forces applied to the SAL. anchor device and taller, the mechanism of which is completely integral to the lifeline and cannot be removed withoul mutilating the product
3.1.4
fall Indicator
mechanism which gives visual confirmation to a user whether or not the self-retracting lifeline has been subiected ID a tall arrest
3.1.5
maximum workIng length
maximum length of extracted lifeline available, when measured from the lifeline corwiector to the self-retracting lifeline housing anchor attachment point
See Figure 2.
4.3.2 CorrosIon resistance
4.3.2.1 When tested in accordance with 6.1 • all metaJ materials shall be tree from red rust, as visible to me unaided eye, or other evidence of corrosion of the base metal. Post-test presence of white scale or tarnishing is acceptable.
4.3.2.2 When the SRL is dismantled, the internal parts. in particular the automatic locking mechanism, shall not show signs of corrosion mat can affect the functioning of the SRL.
4.3.3 LockIng performance after conditioning
4.33.1 The SRI shall be heat-conditioned in accordance with 6.2.3, after which it shall lock without subsequent slippage, and shall be capable of being unlocked when tested m accordance with 62.8.
4.3.3.2 The SAL shall be cold-conditioned in accordance wrlti 6.2.4, after which it shall lock, without subsequent slippage, arid shall be capable of being unlocked when tested in accordance with 6.2.8.
4.3.3.3 The SAL shall be wet.spray-conditioned In accordance with 6,2.5, after which it shall lock without subsequent slippage, and shall be capable of being unlocked when tested in accordance with 6.2.8,
4.3.3.4 The SRI shall be dust-conditioned in accordance with 6.2.6. after which it shall lock without subsequent slippage, and shall be capable of being unlocked when tested ii accordance with 6.2.8.
4.3.3.5 The SRI shall be oil-conditioned in accordance with 6.2.7, alter which it shall lock without subsequent slippage, and shall be capable of being unlocked when tested r accordance with 6.2.8.
4.3.4 Locking reliability
When tested In accordance with 6.3. the SRL shall lock without subsequent slippage in each of 1 000 operatIons.
4.3.5 RetractIon capablltty
When tested in accordance with 6.4. the SRI shall be capable of retracting the f UN length and mass of the lifeline
without sticking or jamming in each of 25 operations.
4.3.6 Dynamic performance with the lifeline at full extraction
4.3.6.1 When tested in accordance with 6.5, the SRL shall lock and limit the arrest force to a maximum of
6,0 kN. During the test, the SAL shall function correctly prior to its locking. The SRI shall retain the test mass clear ci the ground, and, with the exception of energy dissatlng devices, without fracturing or rupture of any element In the load-bearing path.
NOTE The purpose at this requirement is to assess ii the SRI can maintain a satearrest performance at lull extraction. 4.3.6.2 lithe SRL has a fall-indicating device. it shall operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s technical
data.
4.3.7 Dynamic performance
4.3.7.1 When tested in accordance with 6.6, the SRL shall lock and limit the arrest force to a maximum of
6,0 kN. The displacement II shall not exceed 2,0 m. During the test, the SRI shall function correctly prior to its locking. The SAL shall retain the lest mass clear of the ground, and. with the exception of energy-dissipating devices, without lractunng or rupture of any element In the load-bearing path.
4.3.7.2 If the SAL has a fall’ indicating device, It shall operate In accordance with the manufacturer’s technical data.
