ANSI Z359.13, CSA Z259.11-17, ASTM F887, and applicable OSHA regulations are standards / regulations utilized by Buckingham
Manufacturing Co. for various energy absorbing lanyards manufactured. Energy absorbing lanyards are labeled to these standards as
they are applicable.
The table below outlines energy absorber requirements according to these standards / regulations.
Users weight includes that of any tools or clothing.
X
MAX
= maximum total deployment of the unit.
Dm = deployment factor is the rate of energy absorber deployment per unit distance of freefall for the heaviest worker permitted.
Note: for lighter workers, the calculated deployment could be more than the actual deployment.
X
PEA
= amount of deployment of the energy absorber based on worker weight and free fall distance.
* If the user’s weight is in between weight increments listed below, the next highest weight bracket shall be used.

appropriately modify the criteria and protocols of the Appendix to provide proper protection for such heavier weights, or the system will not
be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of OSHA 1926.502. (d)(16).
NOTES:
Buckingham’s Energy Absorbing Lanyards are manufactured, tested and rated for use by a person with a maximum weight of 350 lbs.
(158.8 kg) when fully equipped. At this weight rating, our product meets the maximum arrest force and elongation requirements
of the above listed ANSI and OSHA standards/regulations.
Specially Designed Buckingham Energy Absorbing Lanyards suffixed with "X4" are manufactured, tested and rated for use by a person
with a maximum weight of 420 lbs. (190.5 kg) when fully equipped and only when used with an equivalently weight rated harness /
accessories with free fall being limited to a maximum of 6 ft. (1.83 m). These units also meet the maximum arrest force and elongation
requirements of the above listed OSHA regulations.
Precise “useful life expectancy” for this product because of age is not specified, as the degree of use, the conditions under which it
is used, and the degree of care and storage it is given determines useful life. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure all personnel
support equipment passes inspection before each use as well as by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no
more than 1 year. As a minimum, danger points outlined in these Instructions/Warnings should be recognizable.
