GENERAL INFORMATION
The manufacturer's information must be read and well
understood by the user before using the device. Check
that the device has been supplied intact, in its original
packaging and with the relative information from the
manufacturer. For devices sold in countries other than
the original destination, the distributor must verify and
provide the translation of this information. The EU-Type
Examination (module B) of II and III category Personal
Protective Equipment is performed in compliance
with Annex V of Regulation (EU) 2016/425, and/or
Regulation 2016/425 and subsequent amendments
made to be applied in Great Britain, by the Accredited
Body indicated in the specific information of the device.
Conformity to type based on the quality assurance of the
production process (module D), for category III PPE, is
verified in compliance with Annex VIII of Regulation (EU)
2016/425, and/or Regulation 2016/425 and subsequent
amendments made to be applied in Great Britain, by the
Accredited Body whose number is marked on the device.
Warnings
This device must only be used by physically fit persons
who are trained to use it (informed and trained) or under
the direct supervision of trainers or supervisors. It can

also be used in combination with other devices, subject to
verification by the user of compatibility with the relevant
manufacturer information. It is absolutely forbidden to
modify and/or repair this device. Avoid exposing the device
to heat sources and contact with chemical substances.
Minimise direct exposure to the sun, especially for textile
and plastic devices. Low temperatures and humidity can
facilitate the formation of ice, reduce flexibility, increase
fragility and the risk of breakage, cuts and abrasion. The
position and positioning of the anchor is fundamental for
the safety of the fall arrest: evaluate the free space under
the user, the height of a potential fall, the elongation of the
rope, the elongation of any energy absorber/dissipator,
the height of the user and the "pendulum" effect, in order
to avoid any possible obstacle. The minimum strength
of the anchor points must be at least 12 kN, both for
those made on natural and artificial elements. The
assessment of the anchor points on natural elements
(rock, plants, etc.) is only possible empirically, therefore
it must be carried out by a trained and expert person;
for those made on artificial elements (metal, concrete,
etc.), the assessment must be mathematical and carried
out by a trained and authorised person. In individual fall
protection/prevention systems, it is essential to: carry
out the risk assessment and make sure that the whole
system, of which this device is only a part, is reliable and
