Scope:

1.1
This Standard specifies design, testing, and marking requirements for manufactured fall arresters and fixed vertical rigid rails that are used on a vertical or slope plane. "Vertical plane" means an angle of not more than 15° from the vertical, which prevents the worker from leaning back.

1.2
The equipment specified in this Standard is intended for use where there is a danger of falling from heights. In the event of fall, the fall arrester will lock on the fixed vertical rigid rail to arrest the fall.

1.3
This Standard does not cover work positioning and horizontal travel systems.
