Mountaineering Equipment - Harnesses: Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
Guidelines for maintaining the security of harnesses used in mountaineering and climbing sports are provided in the DIN EN 12277 standard. The standard is applicable to many different kinds of harnesses, including full-body, small-body, sit, and chest models.
The standard primarily focuses on creating safety requirements and test procedures to gauge harness performance and sturdiness. By ensuring that the harnesses can endure the strains and forces experienced while climbing or mountaineering, these regulations work to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
The standard probably contains requirements for the quality and longevity of the webbing, buckles, and other harness construction materials. To evaluate the harnesses' strength and performance, test procedures may involve putting them through a variety of simulated circumstances and loads, such as static or dynamic forces. Aspects like weight restrictions, adjustability, and the structural soundness of the harnesses are probably also covered by the standard.
