Buyers comparing harnesses from different regions meet three families of standard, and a specification that names the wrong one creates a problem at inspection rather than at purchase. The standard that applies is set by the jurisdiction where the work is carried out and by the authority that audits it, not by the manufacturer's preference.
What each standard covers
GB 6095 is the Chinese standard for full body harnesses and is the reference for equipment used on projects inside China; GB 46768 and related standards govern confined space work in that market. EN 361 is the European standard for full body harnesses, sitting within the wider EN 363 family that covers fall arrest systems; CE marking and a notified body route attach to it. ANSI/ASSP Z359.11 is the North American standard for full body harnesses, part of the Z359 family that also covers lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, anchorage and rescue.
Z359.11 sets requirements that include a dorsal attachment, a front or sternal attachment, and defined performance under a test drop. EN 361 sets its own attachment and performance requirements. GB 6095 sets Chinese requirements for construction, marking and performance. The three overlap in intent and differ in detail, which is why a product is normally certified to the one the destination market requires.
Which one applies to you
Follow the work, not the warehouse. Equipment used on a project in China is specified to GB 6095. Equipment used in the European Union is specified to EN 361 and carries CE marking through the correct conformity route. Equipment used in North America follows ANSI/ASSP Z359. Where a multinational contractor runs projects in more than one region, the specification is usually written per project, and the equipment supplied is matched to the project's jurisdiction.
What to ask a supplier
Ask which standard the harness is certified to, ask to see the test report from the testing body named on it, and check that the marking on the product matches the claim. For a monitored harness, ask separately about the electronics: the harness standard covers the textile and hardware, while the monitoring function and its enclosure may be covered by other requirements, including explosion-proof certification where the product is used in a hazardous area.
One product, several markets. A manufacturer that supplies more than one market certifies to each market's standard, so the same harness family may be available in a GB version and an EN version. Confirm which version is quoted before comparing prices, because the certification route is part of what you are buying.
