The work of preparing International 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 liaison with IsO, also 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/lEC Directives, Part 3. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of isO 10333 may be the subject of patent rights. IsO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 10333-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety- IsO 10333 consists of the following parts, under the general title Personal fall-arrest systems: Part 1:Full-body harnesses Part 2: Lanyards and energy absorbers Part 3: Self-retracting lifelines Part 4: Vertical rails and vertical lifelines which incorporate a sliding-type fall arrester Part 5: Connectors The system performance tests will be the subject of a future part 6 to ISO 10333. @ ISO 2000 - All rights reserved ISO 10333-3:2000(E) Introduction In cases where the hazard of falling from a height exists and where, for technical reasons or for work of very short duration, safe access cannot be otherwise provided, it is necessary to consider the use of personal fall-arrest systems (PFAS). Such use should never be improvised and its adoption should be specifically provided for in the appropriate formal provisions for safety in the work place. PFAS complying with this part of ISO 10333
