Is it mandatory to test a Fall Arrest System?

The question is complex: what kind of testing are we talking about? The standard requires two tests: one regarding the anchors (the material used to attach them to the supporting structure: resin-threaded rods, structural screws, etc.), which must withstand the maximum forces generated by a falling operator, and a second to verify, in practice, that the installation has been carried out correctly. Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, for this last test, a force of 5 kN in the working direction must be applied to the anchor line post/plate for 15 seconds. In any case, both tests are mandatory; if the test is considered a test, the answer is YES.
