Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to personal board-type sling equipment used for suspended work such as cleaning, painting, inspection, and maintenance on the interior and exterior of buildings and structures. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and operators involved in these specific suspended operations. It does not apply to building construction installation or suspended operations using small hoists, as referenced in GB 3608.
Technical requirements
The standard establishes comprehensive safety requirements for personal board-type sling equipment, covering anchor devices, suspension decline systems, and fall protection systems. Each worker must be equipped with an independent fall protection system that cannot be shared. The total load capacity for anchor devices is strictly regulated to ensure structural integrity. Technical specifications include general material requirements, structural design, and precise dimensional limits for components such as the working seat, suspension slings, and lining belts. Metal components must pass corrosion resistance tests without showing visible red rust. Materials like polypropylene fiber are strictly prohibited for ropes and slings. The standard outlines rigorous static and dynamic mechanical performance criteria for both the suspension system and fall protection system. It specifies that the fall protection system must withstand specific load limits without tearing or causing injury to the user. Additionally, roof fixing frames must meet anti-overturning stability requirements and have defined maximum component weights.
Testing methods
Testing procedures include neutral salt spray tests for metal components to evaluate corrosion resistance, and precise dimensional measurements using calibrated steel rulers. Overall static and dynamic load tests are mandatory to verify the structural integrity of both suspension and fall protection systems. Component-specific static load tests, seat strength tests, and locking mechanism tests for guided type fall arresters are also specified, referencing standards like GB/T 10125 and GB/T 6096.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 23525-2025?
GB 23525-2025 regulates personal board-type sling equipment used for suspended operations such as cleaning, painting, inspection, and maintenance on buildings and structures.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 23525?
Yes, the 2025 version updates the scope, modifies definitions for connectors and flexible anchor lines, and adds new requirements for metal corrosion resistance and metal seat board thickness. It also introduces stricter safety management and training protocols.
Does GB 23525-2025 apply to construction installation work?
No, this standard explicitly excludes building construction installation operations and suspended work utilizing small hoists. It focuses on maintenance and cleaning tasks using board-type slings.
