5.2.3 Removable work positioning lanyard with length adjuster
Install the work positioning lanyard (see Figure 3). Make sure the length adjuster is at least 300mm from the free end of the line. Celebrate its position. Apply a force of 5 kN for 3 minutes between the connecting piece at the anchor point and the length adjuster. The movement (slippage) of the sling material through the length adjuster is recorded. The movement (slippage) of the material through the length adjuster should be no more than 50 mm. Relieve the load and immediately move the line length adjuster for work positioning to the line end stop. Apply the specified force (15 kN) between the connecting element at the anchor point and the length adjuster. Maintain the force for 3 minutes and observe if the work positioning lanyard fails.

5.3.1 General

5.3.1.1 If it is necessary to test the lap belt without an accompanying work positioning lanyard, an 11 mm climbing rope that meets the requirements of EN 892 "single rope" shall be used instead of the lanyard. If it is required to test a lap belt with an integrated work positioning lanyard less than 1 m in length, a 1 m lanyard shall be provided for the test.

5.3.1.2 If the fastening elements of the lap belt differ in design or in the way they are attached to the belt, the test is repeated for each type of fastening. A new lap belt and work positioning lanyard are used for each test.

5.3.1.3 When a work positioning lanyard is required to be tested without an accompanying lap belt, then the lap belt shall be used for the test. belt complying with the requirements of this standard, attached to a torso dummy or a rigid steel weight of 100 kg.

5.3.2 Test method

5.3.2.1 Attach the waist belt to the selected dummy. Attach a work positioning lanyard or climbing rope to the hip belt attachment. Set the length of the work positioning lanyard or climbing rope (1 ± 0.05) m. Attach the connector at the free end of the work positioning lanyard to the anchor point of the structure (see Figure 4).
