Describes methods of test for materials, components and systems associated with equipment for protection against falls.

This standard specifies test methods for materials, components and systems associated with equipment for protection against falls, as follows: static testing apparatus and static test methods; dynamic testing apparatus, including a torso dummy; test methods for dynamic performance and dynamic strength testing of components and systems; corrosion testing of metal components; test apparatus and test methods for conditioning tests and endurance tests. The standard also makes recommendations for the scheduling of tests.
