Personal Energy Absorbers And Energy Absorbing Lanyards
This standard establishes requirements for the performance, design criteria, marking, qualification and verification testing, instructions, inspections, maintenance and removal from service of personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards for users within the capacity range of 130 to 310 pounds (59 - 140kg.). It is the intention of this standard to require all personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards to reduce the forces implied on the user to less than 10 Gs (10 times the normal gravitational pull of the earth). Users below 130 pounds may experience forces higher than 10 Gs.
