Product Description

• The system A-SAFE BARRIERS complies with the product specifications and test procedures of the BS EN 13374:2013+A1:2018, Class A.
• The use of the A-SAFE BARRIERS is permitted up to a peak velocity pressure of 0.60 kN/m². Use outside this range is in principle permissible, but requires separate structural proof.
• A-SAFE BARRIERS is also used as temporary protection of staircases and accesses to elevator shafts.

A-SAFE BARRIER SYSTEM

• The A-SAFE BARRIERS system is based on the BS EN 13374:2013+A1:2018, Class A and is intended as temporary edge protection to keep people from falling and to prevent accidents caused by falling objects.

ASSEMBLY A-SAFE BARRIERS

BS EN 13374:2013+A1:2018 (CLASS A) design Criteria for A-SAFE temporary edge protection system

1. Horizontal Load (Acting perpendicular to the edge protection system)
   • The temporary edge protection system shall be designed to withstand a static load of 0.3kN applied anywhere perpendicular to the plane of the system, except toe boards, where the maximum deflection should not exceed 55mm.
2. Parallel Load to the Guardrail
   • The temporary edge protection system shall be capable of withstanding a horizontal force of 0.2kN at the most onerous point, where maximum deflection does not exceed 55mm.
3. Accidental Loading (Vertical)
   • The barrier regardless of its support shall be capable of resisting a downwards point load (vertical) of 1.25kN and 6 kN on a length of 100mm.
   • This load shall be applied in the most unfavourable position if the temporary edge protection system is in a downward direction within a sector of 10º from the vertical.
4. Horizontal Load requirements for toeboards
   • Force required to meet deflection requirement: 0.3 kN
   • Force required to meet strength requirement: 0.2 kN
