EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 354 testing. This European standard specifies requirements, test methods, marking, information provided by the manufacturer, and packaging for lanyards. Lanyards conforming to this European Standard are used as fasteners or components in personal fall protection systems (i.e. restraint systems, work positioning systems, rope access systems, fall arrest systems and rescue systems).
This standard specifies the requirements and test methods, as well as the marking, the information provided by the manufacturer, and the packaging properties for lanyards. It includes fasteners or components of personal fall protection systems such as lanyards, restraint systems, work positioning systems, rope access systems, fall arrest systems and rescue systems that conform to this standard.
Lanyards, with a variety of designs, lengths, materials and configurations, are a common component of the fall protection system used by those working at height. These components are subject to hazardous wear and tear during use and therefore rigorous testing is required. The new standard increases the amount of testing required to ensure that CE marked lanyards are fit for purpose.
The scope of the EN 354 standard has been expanded to include ropes with multiple configurations, as well as job positioning and limitation errors. For this reason, products such as work positioning collars are now covered by both the EN 354 and EN 358 standard (EN 358 Personal protective equipment - To ensure working safety at a certain height and prevent falling - Grip systems, belts and ropes for the working position). However, the EN 354 standard has not replaced the EN 358 standard.
The EN 354 standard is one of the first fall arrest standards to introduce special conditioning requirements for samples. Test specimens must be conditioned at 24 percent (plus/minus 23) relative humidity at 5 degrees (plus/minus 65 degrees) for at least 5 hours prior to testing.
