• Class 2: Self-retracting devices which are intended for applications wherein
overhead anchorages may not be available or feasible and which may, in practical
application, be subjected to a free fall of no more than 6 feet (1.8 m) over an edge.
When the SRL is anchored overhead of the user, ANSI Z359.14-2021 specifies that
both Class 1 and Class 2 SRLs shall have an AD of less than 42 in. (1.1 m). AAF must
not exceed 1,350 lbs. (612.35 kg). Conditioned testing of the units allows a slightly
higher AAF of 1,575 lbs. (714.41 kg), but MAF must always remain below 1,800 lbs.
(816.47 kg).
When dynamically tested in accordance with requirements of ANSI Z359.14-2021,
Class 1 and Class 2 Self-Retracting Devices must have an AAF of 1,350 lbs. (612.35
kg) or less, and an AD of less than 42 in. (1.1 m).
See Section 8 of this manual for how to calculate your Minimum Required Fall
Clearance (MRFC).
Classification information found on product labels is based on test results.
Note: Arrest Distance is one of several parts of the MRFC. OSHA requires an SRL
limit the free fall to 2 feet (0.6 m) or less. If the maximum free fall distance must be
exceeded, the employer must document, based on test data, that the maximum
arresting force will not be exceeded, and the personal fall arrest system will function
properly.
