Mountaineering Equipment - Personal Belay Lanyards - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The personal belay lanyards used in climbing equipment are the subject of the DIN EN 17520 standard, which focuses on the safety criteria and test procedures. To enhance safety while climbing, these lanyards are made to serve as the main link between the climber and the belay position. It's vital to remember that the standard does not apply to positioning-only lanyards like daisy chains.
For belay lanyards to be able to endure dynamic impacts and offer trustworthy protection for climbers, this standard aims to establish rules for their design and manufacture. These lanyards must comply with the standard's detailed safety requirements, which include criteria like strength, durability, and the capacity to endure particular stresses encountered during climbing.
The standard not only specifies safety requirements, but it also offers test procedures to gauge how well personal belay lanyards operate. These testing procedures are used to make sure the lanyards are safe and strong enough to withstand any forces or impacts they may experience while being utilized.
