Mountaineering Equipment: Personal Belay Lanyards - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The safety standards and testing procedures for belay lanyards used in mountaineering are the main topics of BS EN 17520:2021. These lanyards provide protection from dynamic impacts by acting as the main link between the climber and the belay stance.
In contrast to lanyards used for positioning or energy absorption via Ferrata or rope courses, this standard specifically addresses lanyards intended for primary connecting functions.
Manufacturers and distributors of climbing gear, hiking adventure firms, expert mountaineers, and rescue personnel are among the target markets for BS EN 17520. This standard's adherence guarantees the use of dependable and secure belay lanyards in the climbing community.
Personal belay lanyards are essential for ensuring climbers' safety since they keep them attached to the safety line and act as shock absorbers in the event of mishaps or falls on via ferrata climbs.
