Compatibility also affects:<\/p><ul><li>Overall structural strength of the assembly<\/li><li>Load transmission between different elements<\/li><li>Deformation of the system under the loads it is subjected to<\/li><li>Behavior in an actual fall<\/li><li>Energy absorption capacity<\/li><\/ul><p>A system may appear compatible from a mechanical standpoint but not be so from a safety perspective.

We can perfectly well find a lifeline from one manufacturer and an access ladder or guardrail from another.<\/p><p>What this article means is that elements from different manufacturers cannot be mixed within the same system.
