Artificial Climbing Structures: Safety Requirements and Test Methods for ACS with Protection Points
Also Known As:
The safety criteria and testing procedures for artificial climbing structures (ACS) with protection points are described in BS EN 12572-1:2017. The specification was created specifically for ACS used for sport climbing. It is crucial to remember that this guideline does not include playground equipment, dry tooling, or ice climbing.
The standard offers recommendations to guarantee that users of ACS for sport climbing activities are safe. With a focus on the positioning and integrity of protection points, it lays down requirements for the design, building, and installation of these structures. Manufacturers and operators of ACS can make sure their constructions comply with the essential safety criteria by following this standard.
The standard also specifies test procedures for assessing the durability, strength, and structural integrity of ACS. These tests evaluate a number of characteristics, including impact resistance, anchoring, and load-bearing capability. By going through these tests, ACS can be assessed for their resistance to the forces generated during climbing activities, ensuring climbers' safety.
Manufacturers, installers, and operators of artificial climbing structures should all refer to BS EN 12572-1:2017. By adhering to this criteria, the sport climbing community is provided with ACS that is safe and dependable.
