More and more companies seek to provide technicians who perform work at height with fall protection systems and, from LA LÍNEA VERTICAL PERÚ we offer the solution that these companies need: the best service of installation of certified anchor points and the certification of existing anchor points.
According to the regulation EN 795/2012, the resistance required of the anchor points is 12 kN, which guarantees a safety factor 2. If the fall system is properly used, the anchorage will only receive a maximum shock force of 6 kN. Therefore, technicians perform stress tests on all anchors installed on concrete.
The stress test consists of subjecting the anchor to an extraction force of 12 kN for three minutes without breaking the concrete or anchorage. To perform this test, it is necessary to have an extractometer that applies the extraction force to the anchor.
LA LINEA VERTICAL PERU, from its Engineering Department, submits to the extraction test to ALL the points that it installs or inspects, being an indispensable condition for the issuance of the certificate.
