Aperçu de conformité

Champ d’application

This standard specifies the classification, technical requirements, inspection rules, and permanent marking for fall protection connectors. It is applicable to connectors used for work at heights. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers producing fall protection equipment for the Chinese market. It is explicitly not applicable to connectors used in sports, firefighting, or other non-industrial applications. The standard references GB/T 12903 for terminology and GB 24543 for safety ropes.

Exigences techniques

The standard outlines comprehensive requirements for connectors and connecting components (such as D-rings and O-rings). Key technical parameters include: - Structure and Design: Specifies minimum breaking loads, smooth surfaces without burrs, and specific gate locking mechanisms (e.g., self-locking gates requiring at least two consecutive actions to open). It also defines minimum gate opening dimensions for various connector types. - Static Strength: Establishes minimum static strength limits for both the major (working) axis and minor (auxiliary) axis under different gate locking states. Manufacturers must ensure connectors do not break or open under specified static loads. - Dynamic Performance: Requires that connectors remain closed and unbroken when subjected to dynamic impact forces, ensuring the test mass does not contact the ground. - Corrosion Resistance: After testing, all metal parts must show no visible red rust, though white spots are permitted. This requirement references GB/T 10125 for salt spray testing.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard details specific testing procedures to verify compliance: - Static Strength Test: Utilizes force loading equipment with a capacity of at least 30kN, applying loads at controlled speeds to simulate maximum stress. - Gate Performance and Static Load Tests: Evaluates the gate's ability to function normally after a 6kN load, and its structural integrity under forward (1kN) and lateral (1.5kN) static loads. - Dynamic Performance Test: Involves dropping a 100kg test mass to generate a specific impact force (9kN) to ensure the connector's reliability during a fall. Testing must be conducted using a rigid structure to ensure accurate impact measurement. - Corrosion Resistance Test: Conducted according to GB/T 10125, involving a 24-hour neutral salt spray test (NSS) repeated twice.

Questions fréquentes

What products are regulated under GB 23469-2025?

It regulates fall protection connectors and connecting components used for work at heights, including basic connectors (Type B), rope-end connectors (Type T), and point connectors (Type A).

Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 23469-2025?

Yes, it replaces GB/T 23469-2009. Key updates include changes to the scope, new classifications, revised static strength requirements, and the addition of dynamic performance requirements and inspection rules.

How does GB 23469-2025 relate to international standards?

The standard references international practices similar to ISO 10333-5 and EN 362, but it has specific Chinese national requirements for testing parameters and marking that must be followed for market access.
