5.5.1.6 If the flexible anchor line can be installed with an intermediate anchor(s), configure the system in accordance with 5.5.3.2.
5.5.2 Deformation
Apply to the extremity, intermediate, corner anchors and mobile anchor point a static test load equal to (0,7 0i) kN for (1 O,25 ) mm in the direction or directions of use in service. Remove the test load and observe and record the permanent deformation.
5.5.3 Dynamic strength and integrity
5.5.3.1 Single span
5.5.3.1.1 Install the manufacturer’s longest permissible single-span anchor device In accordance with the information supplied by the manufacturer.
5.5.3.1.2 Attach a load cell to each end of the flexible anchor line so that the tension at the extremity anchors can be measured,
5.5.3.1.3 Attach a load cell to the mobile anchor point. Attach the test lanyard (see 5.2.1) by means of a connector to the load cell and position the mobile anchor point at the centre of the span of the flexible anchor line. Attach the rigid test mass, also by means of a connector, to the free end of the test lanyard and a quick release device to the rigid test mass.
5.5.3.1.4 Move the rigid test mass downwards until the test lanyard holds the mass. Remove the load until the flexible anchor line returns to its natural position. From this point, raise the rigid test mass to a height which provides the tree fall distance determined in 5.2,1.4. Hold the rigid test mass at a maximum of 300 mm horizontally.
5.5.3.1.5 Release the rigid test mass. Measure and record the maximum load at the extremity anchors and at the mobile anchor point. Also measure and record the maximum dynamic deflection of the flexible anchor line at the mobile anchor point (e.g. by high speed video, displacement transducer).
5.5.3.1.6 Check that the mobile anchor point does not become detached from the flexible anchor line and that the rigid test mass Is held clear of the ground. Record the result. If the anchor device is equipped with a fall indicator, check whether it indicates that a fall has occurred,
5.5.3.1.7 Increase the mass on the anchor device to 300 kg for (3 o,25 ) mm. Check whether the rigid test mass is held clear of the ground.
5.5.3.1.8 Install the manufacturers shortest permissible single-span anchor device (see Figure 16) in accordance with the information supplied by the manufacturer. Carry out the test described in 5.5.3.1.2 to 5.5.3.1.7.
553.2.2.5 Check that the mobile anchor point does not become detached from the flexible anchor line and that the rigid test mass is held clear of the ground. Record the result. If the anchor device is equipped with a fall indicator, check whether it indicates that a fall has occurred.
5.5.3.2.2.6 Increase the mass on the anchor device to 300 kg for (3 0,25 ) mm. Check whether the test mass is held clear of the ground.
5.5.3.2.3 Test at the centre of the shortest span
Repeat the tests in 5.5.3.2.2 at the centre of the shortest span.
5.5.3.2.4 Test on an intermediate anchor, at a corner, entrylexlt line fitting and joint in the anchor line
5.5.3.2.4.1 Position the mobile anchor point on the intermediate anchor. Attach a load cell to the mobile anchor point; attach the test lanyard (see 5.2.1) by means of a connector to the load cell; attach the rigid test mass, also by means of a connector, to the free end of the test lanyard and a quick release device to the rigid test mass.
5.5.3.2.4.2 Move the rigid test mass downwards until the test lanyard holds the mass. Remove the load until the flexible anchor line returns to its natural position. From this point, raise the ngid test mass to a height which provides the free fall distance determined in 5.2.1.4. Hold the rigid test mass at a maximum of 300 mm horizontally.
5.5.3.2.4.3 Release the test rigid test mass, Measure and record the maximum load at the extremity anchor and at the mobile anchor point. In addition, measure the maximum deflection at the mobile anchor point.
5.5.3.2.4.4 Check that the mobile anchor point does not become detached from the flexible anchor line and that the ngid test mass is held clear of the ground. Record the result. If the anchor device is equipped with a fall indicator, check whether it indicates that a fall has occurred.
5.5.3.2.4.5 Increase the mass on the anchor device to 300 kg for (3 25 ) mm. Check whether the test mass is held clear of the ground.
5.5.3.2.4.6 Where there is a corner In the flexible anchor line, carry out the tests described in 5.5.3.2.4.1 to
5.5.3.2.4.5 with the mobile anchor point positioned at the centre of the corner.
5.5.3.2.4.7 Where there is an entry/exit line fitting in the flexible anchor line, with the mobile anchor point positioned on the entry/exit line fitting. carry out the tests descnbed in 5.5.3.2.4.1 to 5.5.3.2.4.5.
5.5.3.2.4.8 Where there is a joint in the flexible anchor line, with the mobile anchor point positioned on the joint. carry out the tests described in 5.5.3.24.1 to 5.5.3.2.4.5.EN 795-2012 pdf download.
