Applies to roof safety (building products) situated on the surface of pitched roofs and permanently fixed to the load-bearing roof construction.

This document applies to roof safety (building products) situated on the surface of pitched roofs and permanently fixed to the load-bearing roof construction. They are intended for the attachment of slaters’ ladders, for supporting working platforms and as anchorage points to which personal protective equipment against falls or for restraint are attached. It specifies essential dimensions, materials to be used, requirements with respect to the load-bearing capacity, of the roof safety hooks fastened to the roof construction including their fastening system and the extent of testing. This document does not apply to installations which are used exclusively as anchorage points to which personal protective equipment against falls or for restraint are attached (see EN 795).
