1.2.5 The use of singular nouns may also include the plural (and vice versa), when the context allows.
1.2.6 The use of the term anchorage may also include the term anchorage connector, and vice versa, when the context of the requirement applies to design strength.
1.2.7 Within this standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement that must be obliged in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation, which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option, which is permissible within the limits of the standard. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Legends to equations and figures are considered requirements.
1.2.8 E-column commentary that accompanies sections does not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of the E-column is to separate requirements of the standard from the explanatory commentary and informative material.
1.3 Exceptions.
1.3.1 This standard does not specify design or performance requirements for active fall protection equipment components or systems when there exists a standard, within the ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code, that details qualification and verification testing for the component or system. Qualification and verification testing of ANSI/ASSE Z359 components and systems shall meet the requirements of the relevant component or system standard and the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.7. Components or systems shall not be marked as being in compliance with this standard as a substitute when another relevant ANSI/ASSE Z359 standard exists.
1.3.2 This standard does not cover the design of passive fall protection systems, such as guardrails and safety nets. except when passive systems are also designed to serve as an anchorage for an active fall protection system.
1.3.3 This standard does not cover the design of positioning systems.
1.3.4 This standard establishes requirements for required strength of active fall protection systems. It does not cover the determination of design strength of components and anchorages. Design strength may be determined by empirical testing, numerical techniques or by design specifications, including but not limited to ACI 318. ACI 530, AISC 360 and NDS. for the materials and structural systems being used.
1.3.5 The design of active systems for users heavier than 310 pounds (140kg) or lighter than 130 pounds (59kg) is outside the scope of this standard.
1.4 Interpretations. Requests for interpretations of this standard shall be in writing and addressed to the Secretariat of this standard.
2. DEFINITIONS
Refer to ANSI/ASSE Z359.0, Definitions and Nomenclature Used for Fall Protection and Fall Arrest, for definitions of terms used in this standard.
3. DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS
3.1 General. An active fall protection system meeting the requirements of this standard shall have drawings, specifications and procedures, as applicable, prepared by or under the supervision of a qualified person.
3.2 Drawing and Specification Requirements.
3.2.1 Construction documents shall describe the components of an active fall protection system that are to be fabricated, assembled and installed. Drawings and specifications contained within the construction documents shall include, but not be limited to:
3.2.1.1 A statement defining the type of active fall protection system and that the design meets criteria established by this standard. If exceptions to this standard are made in the design, then they shall be clearly stated.
