29、Design and ergonomicsThe general requirements for the design and ergonomics are specified in 4.1 of EN 363:2002.4.2 Materials and constructionWebbing and sewing threads of a full body harness shall be made from virgin filament or multifilament syntheticfibres suitable for their intended use.The brea

30、king tenacity of the synthetic fibre shall be known to be at least 0,6 N/tex.Threads used for sewing shall be physically compatible with the webbing, and the quality shall be compatible tothat of the webbing. They shall, however, be of a contrasting shade or colour in order to facilitate visual insp
