EN 361: Personal protective equipment against Falls from a height
Harnesses intended to hold the user in place & spread the load
in case of a fall arrest scenario. Harnesses are subject to a

The purpose of the standard was to address t personal fall arrest
systems, subsystems and components for connectors, full body
harnesses, lanyards, energy absorbers, anchorage connectors, ANSI Z359.1
fall arresters, vertical lifelines and self-retracting lanyardsbeing
developed and applied to fall arrest equipment used in General
Industry and non-construction occupations only.

EN 813: Personal fall protection equipment. Sit harnesses

EN 813 specifies requirements, testing, marking and information
to be supplied by the manufacturer for sit harnesses to be used EN 813
in restraint, work positioning and rope access systems, where a
