NOTEThe anchor may yield but should not fail at this load.2.11.2.7 There is no requirement for designers (e.g. building designers) to add a further safety factor but, of course, the static strength may be increased if it is considered prudent or necessary to do so.2.11.2.8 The values have been determined assuming a rope access technician with a mass, including equipment, of 100 kg, which is a typical standard test mass used in product standards for personal fall protection equipment. Rope access technicians with a mass that is greater than 100 kg including equipment should take appropriate steps to ensure that their anchors are of sufficient strength, e.g. by ensuring that there is sufficient energy absorption in the anchor system to keep the impact load on them and the anchors down to 6 kN or less in the case of any fall, and/or by increasing the strength of the anchors above the recommended minimum of 15 kN.
