The purpose of this standard is to protect workers in occupations requiring personal protection from falls from heights, by providing verifiable requirements for the design and performance of anchorage connectors, along with test methods to assess conformity to these requirements. This standard applies to manufacturers, distributors, testing organizations, regulators, purchasers and authorized users of fall protection equipment, as well as personnel responsible for the design and implementation of fall protection systems. This standard partially addresses the quality and abilities of the substrate (anchorage) to which the anchorage connector is attached. Thereore, the anchorage connector also relies on users properly following users instructions provided by the manufacturer to create a safe anchorage system to which anchorage connectors are affixed.
