In the EN 362 standard, which is a European standard, the requirements for connectors to be met by the manufacturer are explained and test methods are presented. This standard also includes marking, information provided by the manufacturer and packaging features. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: EN 362 Personal protective equipment against falling from height - Fasteners.
The connectors are manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes for different applications and are used to connect components together in a fall protection system. The major and minor axis static strength test is the leading test applied for connectors. During this test, the main axis is tested in the main loading direction. The required load varies depending on the connector class. Many connectors withstand a higher rated load on the major axis than the standard minimum load.
The small axis test is applied for connectors that are able to be loaded in the opposite direction to the main axis. This test is to determine if the connector is accidentally loaded or misused along the minor axis, so that it still has the power to absorb the forces generated during the fall.
Another test for connectors is the pass-through function test. During this test, a force of 6 kN is loaded on the main axis of a connector and the connector must hold this force for 10 seconds and then be able to open and close the passage and lock it.
A variety resistance test (face / side) is also applied for connectors. In the pass face test, a force of 90 kN is applied to the toe for 1 seconds, and it is determined that the door is not separated by more than 1 mm from the latch and is still working correctly after testing. In the transition side test, a force of 60 kN is applied to the side of the sting for 1.5 seconds and it is determined that there is no break in the connector and the door is still working correctly after the test.
