BS EN 892:2012+A1:2016 PDF Download

For dynamic mountaineering ropes, safety standards and testing procedures are outlined in the standard known as BS EN 892:2012+A1:2016. The kern-mantel design of ropes, which encloses a core (kern) in a protective sheath (mantel), is the subject of the standard. These ropes are frequently used for climbing as well as other mountaineering sports.

Through the establishment of minimal requirements and the provision of testing instructions, this standard seeks to ensure the security and dependability of dynamic mountaineering ropes. It discusses many rope kinds, including single, half, and twin ropes, all of which are utilized in various climbing situations.

When creating dynamic mountaineering ropes, manufacturers must comply with the standard's vital safety standards. It also describes the tests that must be performed on these ropes in order to make sure that their performance satisfies the requirements.
