The force shall be applied gradually over 30 s to reduce any dynamic effect, and then the full force shall be maintained for 2 min. Elongation

29、shall be measured 5 min after release of the force.6.1.3.2 Final static resistance testThis test shall be undertaken after the energy absorber has been dynamically drop-tested in accordance with Clause 6.1.2.The energy absorber shall be subjected to a tensile force of 16.0 kN (3600 lbf) across its e

30、nds. The force shall be applied gradually over 3 min to avoid any dynamic effect, and then the full force shall be maintained for 5 min.Subsequent to each final static resistance test, the force shall be removed and the following information shall be recorded:(a) Lmin, as defined in Clause 6.1.2;(b)

49、erformance, design, testing, labelling, and marking of energy absorbers and lanyards. The major differences from the previous edition are as follows:(a) The term “energy absorber” has replaced “shock absorber” to better describe the function of this device. Fall arrest involves dissipation of the dynamic energy generated in falling in addition to minimizing the shock of stopping the fall.(b) Energy absorbers and lanyards have been placed in
