BS EN 12572-3:2017 PDF Download

For climbing grips, the BS EN 12572-3:2017 standard specifies the necessary safety criteria and the testing procedures. The climbing holds used on bouldering walls and other artificial climbing structures (ACS) that are intended for natural progression without the aid of extra artificial devices like ice axes or crampons fall under the purview of this standard. Bolts or screws are used to attach climbing holds to the ACS. Some climbing holds include enormous volumes or other features that can be used without the need for additional grips. It's crucial to remember that this regulation does not apply to playground equipment, dry tooling, or ice climbing. Other related standards, such as EN 12572-1 and EN 12572-2, address the attachment locations for climbing grips.
