AND APPROVALS FOR
The safety industry is in constant flux looking for the best
possible solutions to safety issues, hazards and product
performance. The goal is simple — to get you home each and
every night after work. Fall protection is no different. North
continues to look for easy-to-use fall protection solutions so that you can use your equipment with
confidence. Product standards and regulations play a big part in guaranteeing that North s prod-
uct line is up to the challenge. They ensure that our products meet the performance requirements
set by the industry or in legislation. They also help you in the selection of proper equipment.
The Personal Protective Equipment directive defines minimum requirements. These requirements are technically further
elaborated in European Standards (EN standards). The use of these standards is the most usual way to comply with the
directive, as this achieves a presumption of compliance . As a result one may in principle assume that the product is man-
ufactured in accordance with the directive.

The EN-365 standard states that the manufacturer must stress the importance of
a regular inspection of the reliable operation of the product. Furthermore a regular
maintenance interval must be recommended, depending on the type, frequency of use
and environmental factors, but which must be carried out at least once a year. This must
b
carried out by a competent person in accordance with the procedures drawn up by the
manufacturer.
The EC directive 89/686 lays down requirements with regard to the product safety
of Personal Protective Equipment. This directive is exhaustive, so the member states do
not have to draw up any additional requirements with regard to design and production.
Fall protection is a category III product, as a result of which in addition to the usual
requirements for the design, such as being tested by a European approved lab, CE mark-
ing, instructions for use in the language of the country of sale, etc., the production must
also be controlled. North s ISO 9001 quality assurance system takes care of this.
