Applies to hooks situated on the surface of pitched roofs and permanently fixed to the load-bearing roof construction. They are intended for the attachment of slaters' ladders, for supporting working platforms and as anchorage points to which personal protective equipment against falls or for restraint are attached. It specifies essential dimensions, materials to be used, requirements with respect to the load-bearing capacity, and the extent of testing. This standard does not apply to installations which are used exclusively as anchorage points to which personal protective equipment against falls or for restraint are attached (see EN 795).
