with national requirements and standards.
Only approved fixing elements may be used and they must
be suitable for the individual installation – e.g. suitable for
fixing to concrete, wood, etc.
Each suspension point in ceiling constructions must be
rated to withstand a load of at least 1.5 times the rated
load of the rail system.
Use only lock nuts.
Fischer’s product liability does not apply if lock nuts are
fitted on Fischer’s FAZ anchors. If the customer insists on
this, ”Loctite” or simular must be used instead.
Tighten all bolts and nuts with torque in accordance with
applicable rules - M10 = 42 Nm.
Tighten Hilti HUS-H screws with torque to 35 Nm.
Important
The user of this installation guide should note that the fixing
devices are those recommended by Guldmann and consti-
tute minimum requirements.
When selecting fixing elements, the installer must in each
individual situation take the ceiling and wall constructions
into consideration.

product liability unless V. Guldmann A/S installers carried
out the installation work.

Testing the rail system
Test the rail system following setup in accordance with the
inspection form; see section on page 91.
The rail system must be tested in accordance with the
control table after installation, i.e. tested at 1.5 times its
rated load and then marked with the rated load, the initials
of the installer, and the installation date.
Each section of the rail system must be regarded as an
individual system and be tested and marked individually.
The system must be operated with a load of 1.5 times its
rated load, and observed to ensure the correct function of
components and the solidity of the attachment.
After a full test operation of the rail system, it must be load
tested again for at least 20 minutes.
The selected brackets must be load tested for at least five
minutes.
The load must be placed as close to the brackets as pos-
sible.
If there are less than four brackets in the system, testing
time per bracket must be increased.
Where different fixing elements or fixing materials are used
to install the system, or where ceiling constructions have
been changed, the system must be tested in each of these
situations.
Fixing elements must not become deformed or change
shape in any way.
NB!
The rail system must be tested in order to ensure that it
is 100% safe and stable in use.
If it is considered necessary or in cases of doubt, the
system must be tested again to the extent that this is
appropriate.
