The fall-arrest safety nets are collective protective equipment (CPE) intended to protect persons and/or objects against falls from a height. Consisting of a connection of nylon meshes or plastic materials, they are supported by a rope on the edge anchored with suitable elements, in order to stop the person’s fall.
The EN 1263 standard specifies safety requirements for the positioning of safety nets in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual and with the product specifications and for the testing of system S, system T, system U and system V safety nets in accordance with EN 1263‑1.
