The work of preparing International

12、 Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, a

13、lso take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical commit

14、tees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the pos

15、sibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 22159 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 4, Per

16、sonal equipment for protection against falls. ISO 22159:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved v Introduction Descending devices conforming to this International Standard are intended to be used in conjunction with an appropriate descent line and other equipment, e.g. an appropriate harness or rescue

17、loop and a reliable anchor, to enable a person to descend from one position to another, either on their own or assisted by another person. Typical uses are emergency egress and work positioning. In addition to their primary function of allowing access to a lower point, descending devices and descent

18、 lines have a fall protection function. Descending devices in this International Standard have been divided into six types. Types 1 and 2 are further divided into four classes. Type 1 descending devices have an integrated descent line and are intended for multiple evacuations to a safe lower place w

19、hen users do not need to control their descent speed. The descent speed is automatically controlled, i.e. without the need for intervention by the user. Type 2 descending devices have an integrated descent line and are manually controlled. They are generally more suitable for single person evacuatio

20、ns to a safe lower place when users may need to control their descent speed and may need to stop somewhere on the descent line. Types 3 and 4 descending devices are not required to have an integrated descent line. The descent line can be fitted to the descending device on site. These types of descen

21、ding device are equipped with a manually operated descent control device which, when it is let go, will automatically lock to the descent line and stop the descent (hands-free locking element). In addition, type 3 descending devices will “fail to the locked position” and the descent will stop if the

22、 descent control device is moved beyond its descent control parameters, e.g. in a panic situation when the user squeezes the descent control device too far (panic locking element). Types 5 and 6 descending devices do not have a hands-free automatic locking element or a panic locking element. These d

23、escending devices rely on the user to stop the descent manually and to lock off manually, too, typically by wrapping the descent line around the descending device to create enough friction to stop movement. These types are also not required to have an integrated descent line: the descent line can be

24、 fitted to the descending device on site. Descending devices types 1 and 2, which are typically intended primarily for emergency egress, have been classified further by performance. A value, called descent energy, is calculated based on the product of the mass of the user, the maximum descent height

25、 for the descending device and the number of descents for which the descending device is designed. In practice, descending devices are subjected to different loads, e.g. a descending device for descending 100 passengers from a cable car at a height of 100 m needs to conform to more stringent require

26、ments than a descending device used by a crane driver to descend from a height of 20 m. The descent energy provides an indication of the appropriateness of a descending device and its descent line for a given application. The descent energy may be used to calculate the maximum combination of descent

27、 height and number of descents for a particular use. The classes are A, B, C and D, which are explained in more detail within this International Standard. Type 2 class D descending devices deserve special mention because they are intended for a specific purpose, i.e. for single use emergency egress

28、only, by trained and competent personnel who, as part of their training, have experienced a descent using this type of descending device. Descent lines are a necessary component in a descending system and need to meet some basic requirements to ensure that they are suitable for use with relevant des

29、cending devices. This International Standard therefore includes such basic requirements for descent lines. This International Standard recognizes that a descending device could not only travel with the user (normal in rope access, for example) but could also in some circumstances be designed to oper

30、ate from a fixed position (e.g. at the top of the descent). The test methods reflect this. Operating from a fixed position is normal for type 1 descending devices. It is perhaps not so normal for other types, but is possible. ISO 22159:2007(E) vi ISO 2007 All rights reservedThis International Standa

31、rd presumes that the manufacturer of the descending device, subsystems or components will, for the sake of consistency and traceability, operate a quality management system which will comply with national and regional regulations in force at the time. Guidance on the form this quality management sys

32、tem may take can be found in ISO 9001. It is highly advisable that manufacturers claiming conformity of their descending devices with this International Standard have their claims verified by an independent, nationally recognized test organisation. Note the points below. It is essential that users o

33、f all types of descending devices and their descent lines are trained and assessed as competent before using them unsupervised. This applies even to the totally automatic descending devices of type 1. It applies particularly to types 5 and 6 descending devices, where any mismanagement could have dis

34、astrous results. It is advisable that training be ongoing and not just a one-off at the first introduction to the equipment. This International Standard does not encompass all foreseeable uses of descending devices or requirements for all possible descending devices. Manufacturers, specifiers and en

35、d users can identify uses for which descending devices that are outside the scope of this International Standard are appropriate. The requirements specified are generally minimum requirements. Annex A provides advice on the packaging of descending devices and Annex B gives functional recommendations

36、 for the use of descending devices in the workplace. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22159:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved 1 Personal equipment for protection against falls Descending devices 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements, test methods, marking and information to be supp

37、lied by the manufacturer for descending devices. It also specifies some basic requirements for the descent lines to be used with the descending devices. This International Standard is applicable to automatic and manually operated descending devices intended for use in the workplace in access, egress

38、, work positioning and rescue systems. Various types and classes of descending devices are defined according to function and performance. These descending devices can be used in situations other than the workplace if adequate training and/or supervision are provided. This International Standard is n

39、ot intended to apply to descending devices used in leisure activities such as recreational climbing and caving, although its requirements can be useful in specifying such equipment. NOTE Descending devices conforming to this International Standard can be designed for use by one or two persons simult
