8. 4 4 Functioning principle as fall protection system The fiberglass and steel reinforced damping plate with the laminated geotextile damping mat is designed to concentrate the ballasting weight on the anchoring posts The pulling force generated by the fall is transferred to the damping plate and the laminated damping mat which is stabilized and stopped by the frictional force resulting from the load imposed upon it Reinforced damping plate F pulling force DiaSafe anchoring post Protective geotextile spread DiaSafe system structure on the roof applies to Line and Single systems alike not to scale DiaSafe systems provide an active life saving solution when used in combination with proper and system compatible personal protective equipment o EE ao A a gU Md i i i f Peta L m a In built snap lines on a cone The DiaSafe anchoring posts absorb primary energy acting on a falling human body by breaking through the stiffening cone and bending down There are vertical built in snap lines along the cone and a horizontal one at the base of the cone in order to ensure the appropriate deformation of the post The line system absorbs additional energies through the elongation of the wire rope In order to ensure additional energy absorption during the use of DiaSafe single system posts these are provided with an absorption spring which elongates due to the action of the falling force absorbing addi

The maximum lifetime of the DiaSafe systems in case of adequate and professional use without visible deterioration and under optimal conditions is 20 years from the date of the professional installation The lifetime significantly depends on the way of use and the regular inspections Periodic inspections are to be accomplished in every 12 months at least If a DiaSafe system has been used to arrest a fall it is prohibited to use the system again Under extreme like weather conditions the system may be damaged in the period between the regular inspections If such a case occurs the use of the DiaSafe system is prohibited For this reason the inspection of the system is necessary before and after every use 54 16 Certification 16 1 Manufacturer research investigation and testing Before the Diadem DiaSafe system was commercialised we had conducted several tests with our test equipment which is set up in accordance with the relevant EN795 and CEN TS 16415 2013 standards These tests confirmed that the system operates flawlessly and safely providing the installation has been accomplished in line with the relevant instructions These tests have been documented with reports photos and videos Relevant expert summaries have also been attached DiaSafe system was tested and certified by TUV Austria TUV AUSTRIA SERVICES GMBH Headquarter Deutschstrafse 12 1230 Wien Maschinen Hebe und Fordertechnik Institut fur F
