J.1GeneralJ.1.1 The resistance to chemicals of some of the man-made fibres used in the manufacture of rope access equipment is given in Table J.1 and other properties are given in Table J.2. This information has been compiled from manufacturers’ data. It should be noted that several variants of most of these fibres exist and new variants are continually being developed.J.1.2 The information in this annex may be used in the risk assessment process, prior to work commencing, to ensure the performance of equipment will not be adversely affected by chemicals to a point where the safety of the user is compromised.J.1.3 Some contaminants found on the worksite may be a complex mixture of several of the chemicals listed. This should be taken into account when planning the work. More specific information about the chemicals may be required, e.g. the effect of variations in temperature and concentration.
