Furthermore, the safety karabiners must be checked for proper locking. The entire lanyard
must neither be cracked nor frayed nor damaged. Even if the protective cover of the stretch-
type shock absorber is damaged, this part of the system must be replaced.

The lanyard with integrated stretch-type shock absorber of the XXL type has been tested and
approved for a total weight of up to 136 kg.
Depending on the total weight and the position of the anchorage point, the necessary
clearance is calculated as follows:

Notes on horizontal use:
These lanyards with integrated stretch-type shock absorber have also been successfully
tested for horizontal use and a resulting fall over an edge. A burr-free steel edge with a
radius of r = 0.5 mm was used. This test demonstrated that the equipment is suitable for
being pulled over similar edges, e.g., rolled steel sections, wooden beams or clad, rounded
parapets.
Irrespective of this test, the following instructions must be observed in the event of horizontal
or inclined use where there is a risk of falling over an edge:
1. If a risk assessment carried out before starting work reveals that the edge is especially
" "
cutting and/or is
concrete edge), the following measures must be observed:
•
before starting work, appropriate steps must be taken to prevent falling over the
edge, or
•
some form of edge protection must be installed before starting work, or
•
the manufacturer must be contacted.
2. The lanyard has been tested over an edge with an angle of 90 degrees. The user should
be aware of the increased risks that exist when it is possible to fall over an edge with an
angle of less than 90 degrees (measured between the two legs of the lanyard, for
example, when the anchorage point is below the feet of the user, or in case of a roof
rising at an oblique angle) and that additional precautionary measures or additional tests
might be required.
3. The necessary clearance below the edge is:
➢ for all types: with a total weight of 100 kg
➢ for the XXL type: with a total weight of 136 kg
