Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the second edition of CSA Z259.2.5, Fall arresters and vertical lifelines. It supersedes the previous edition published in 2012. It is part of a series of Standards on components of fall-protection systems and replaces that part of CAN\/CSA-Z259.2.1-98 (R2011), Fall arresters, vertical lifelines and rails, covering vertical lifelines. <\/p>\n

This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. <\/p>\n

Changes to this edition include <\/p>\n

a) the removal of the slope test;
b) modifications to the dynamic performance test;
c) modifications to the test equipment requirements for dynamic strength;
d) changes to the informational requirements;
e) the definitions have been updated;
f) the references have been updated; and
g) connecting means (except connectors) used for fall arresters are permitted to be integral only. <\/p>\n

CSA Group gratefully acknowledges the financial and in-kind support from the Canadian government departments responsible for occupational health and safety for the development of this edition. <\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.1
This Standard specifies design, testing, and marking requirements for manufactured fall arresters for single users and for manufactured vertical lifelines. <\/p>\n

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 a fall, the equipment will lock to arrest the fall. <\/p>\n

1.3
This Standard does not cover <\/p>\n

a) the design, testing, installation, or supply of anchorage connectors;
b) horizontal lifeline systems;
c) rope adjusting implements for use in travel restraint or work positioning applications; and
d) any system incorporating a knot, hitch, or rope sliding hitch. <\/p>\n

1.4
In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. <\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. <\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. <\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. <\/p>\n

1.5
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
