F.2.4.10 For greater confidence, the static strength test can be carried out on the full configuration of ground anchor elements (i.e. the ground anchor), which both on test and in use should always be linked together in such a way that the load is shared by all of them. The ground anchor should be tested in accordance with its intended configuration in use, in an area that is representative of the ground where it is intended to install the ground anchors for the rope access work in hand but, to avoid any possibility of weakening the ground, not at the worksite itself. The test should be considered to have failed if any ground anchor element moves from the inserted angle to become vertical, or if any part of a ground anchor breaks or fails in another way before reaching a vertical position.
