EN 1651:2018 (E) 9 5 Test methods 5.1 Principles Unless otherwise specified, times are minimum cumulative duration and load requirements are minimum values. 5.2 Strength tests The strength of the harness and the safety of its occupant are verified using a dummy and the application of various forces to the attachment points (see Figure 1). The attachment points of the harness (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) shall be connected to the test equipment by metallic connectors of a minimum of 6 mm diameter. If the sample is equipped with connectors recommended by the manufacturer, these shall be used to connect it to the test equipment. The equipment supplied for testing shall be identical in all aspects with the marketed model. If the manufacturer recommends a maximum clip-in weight of more than 100 kg, unless otherwise specifically defined, all of the specified loads shall be increased by multiplying by the factor K. K is calculated as: =CrefmKm
(1) where K is the factor for the specified load; mc is the clip-in weight, in kg mref is the reference weight of 100 kg 5.3 Vertical impact test Where the manufacturer claims the harness is equipped with an impact pad, the damping of the impact pad is verified using apparatus consisting of a vertical impact dummy and various measurement tools. The equipment supplied for testing shall be identical in all aspects with the marketed model. The test shall be performed with a dummy installed in an apparatus to ensure a vertical guided fall (see Figure 3). The impact pad test shall be conducted at an ambient temperature of (20° ± 5)°C. The impact pad itself shall be at ambient temperature prior to testing. Although this test is limited to a vertical impact, manufacturers should extend the impact pad more widely over the back area. 5.4 Apparatus 5.4.1 Apparatus for strength tests 5.4.1.1 Seated dummy A dummy in the seated position according to Figure 2 is to be used. A tolerance of ± 5 % is allowed to the test dummy dimensions in Figure 2. The ring indicated at the neck of the dummy in Figure 2 is an optional force application point. SIST EN 1651:2018
