These anchor devices, intended to be removed from the structure, incorporate stationary or travelling (mobile) anchor points designed for the attachment of suitable components of a personal fall protection system, e.g. in accordance with EN 363:2018. This document also gives requirements for marking and instructions for use. This document is not applicable to: - anchor devices intended to allow more than one user to be attached at any one time; - anchor devices used in any sports or recreational activity; - walkways, steps and treads, e.g. equipment conforming to EN 516:2006; - permanent anchor devices and roof safety hooks, e.g. equipment conforming to EN 17235:2024; - elements or parts of structures which were installed for use other than as anchor points or anchor devices, e.g. beams, girders; - structural anchors, e.g. an element that is cast-in, welded, permanently mechanically fixed or bonded by resin to the structure.
