- Type A / A2: Anchor point for attachment to sloping roofs (see Fig. 2)
- Type B Transportable, temporarily attached anchorage devices (see Figure 3)
- Type C Anchor devices with a horizontal guide rope that deviate from the horizontal by a maximum of 15 ° (see Figure 4)
- Type D Anchor devices with horizontal guide rails (see Figure 5)
- Type E Anchor devices held by their own weight for use on horizontal surfaces (see Figure 6)
