Mountaineering Equipment: Slings - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
In mountaineering and climbing, slings are frequently used. The BS EN 566:2017 standard focuses on giving guidance for the safety criteria and testing processes.
The goal of the standard is to guarantee that slings used in these activities adhere to a set of safety requirements and can sustain the pressures and loads that will be present during mountaineering. It lays out the requirements that slings must fulfill in order to be trusted and safe for use in certain activities.
The standard also specifies the test procedures to be used to gauge the effectiveness and robustness of slings. The circumstances and forces that slings are anticipated to experience during mountaineering activities are replicated by these test procedures. Manufacturers may make sure that their slings can endure the anticipated loads and function dependably in the field by following these test procedures.
