Mountaineering Equipment - Ice Anchors - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The safety standards and testing procedures for ice anchors used in mountaineering and climbing are described in the DIN EN 568 standard. The standard specifically addresses ice screws and ice pitons as two different kinds of ice anchors.
By setting standards for the design, production, and functionality of ice anchors, this standard aims to assure the safety of climbers. Manufacturers can offer dependable and trustworthy equipment for mountaineers by abiding by these specifications.
Ice anchors must pass exacting testing, as described in the paper, to meet this criterion. The tensile strength, shear strength, and corrosion resistance of the ice anchors are all subjected to testing. These tests make sure that the gear meets the requirements of mountaineering-related safety regulations.
