Standard EN 795:2012 defines five classes of anchor points based on their design and intended use.
Each anchor point must be identified, inspected and maintained in accordance with its original technical specifications.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Fixed anchor point on structure. |
| B | Temporary or portable anchor. |
| C | Horizontal flexible lifelines. |
| D | Horizontal rigid rails. |
| E | Deadweight anchors (ballasted). |
Height safety equipment must be inspected upon installation and then at least once a year, in accordance with the Labour Code (Articles R4323-99 to R4323-104).
The EN 365 standard also requires that each anchor point indicates the maximum number of users, the type of connection permitted, the required clearance, and that a pictogram specifies that it is for use with fall protection PPE only.
These inspections ensure the safety of operators and the compliance of equipment with current European standards.
