1.2 System requirements
1.2.1 Suitability of components:
The 3M SRLs are designed for use with compatible components and subsystems or approved components
and subsystems. The integration of unapproved components can lessen the safety of the complete system.
1.2.2 Suitability of connectors:
All connectors (such as hooks, carabiners and D-rings) must be compatible with the anchorage point and
other system components. To ensure connectors are suitable to be used with other system components
they must be able to connect in such a way that their size and shape do not affect the performance
and safety of the connectors. Contact 3M Technical Service if you have any concerns about connector
compatibility.
WARNING!
Do not use equipment that is not suitable (See Figure 1). All connectors must be capable
of supporting loads of at least 5,000 lbs (22 kN). All snap hooks and carabiners must be
self locking (refer to relevant national standards).
Attachment points with an unusual shape or attachment points that are undersized, when used in
conjunction with connectors, can be orientated in such a way that allows forces to be applied to the gate of
a snap hook or carabiner. This force may cause the connector to open allowing the connector to unlock from
the attachment point. Figure 1 shows unintentional 'rollout'.
Figure 1—Unintentional disengagement (rollout).
1. Load is applied to the connector.
2. The attachment point presses
against connector gate.

3. The gate is now open allowing the
snap hook to disengage.
