EN 361 Full Body Harness Static Strength Testing
The EN 361 standard provides a set of requirements and test methods to ensure that full body harnesses used in fall protection systems meet the necessary safety standards. This service is critical for industries where workers are exposed to potential falls, such as construction, oil & gas, utilities, and manufacturing.
When performing static strength testing according to EN 361, we subject the harness to a defined load that simulates the force of falling or being caught by the system. The test aims to ensure that the harness can withstand this load without sustaining damage or failure. This is crucial for maintaining occupational safety and preventing injuries on construction sites and other hazardous work environments.
During testing, we prepare the harness according to EN 361 specifications, which include ensuring that all components are correctly assembled and in good condition before subjecting it to a static load of at least 2.5 kN (kilonewtons). The test is conducted using a calibrated tensile testing machine capable of applying this force uniformly across the harness.
Once the harness reaches the specified load, we monitor for any signs of deformation, wear, or failure. If the harness passes the test without sustaining damage that would compromise its integrity or functionality, it is deemed compliant with EN 361 standards and safe for use in fall protection systems. This testing process ensures that all components of the harness are robust enough to provide adequate safety during critical moments.
Our comprehensive report details the results of the test, including any observations made during the loading and unloading phases. Compliance with EN 361 is essential not only for ensuring worker safety but also for meeting regulatory requirements in many countries around the world. By providing this service, we help our clients maintain compliance while enhancing their reputation as a leader in occupational safety.
