Mountaineering Equipment - Crampons - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The requirements for ensuring the performance and safety of crampons used in mountaineering operations on snow, ice, and mixed terrain are laid forth in the DIN EN 893 standard. To stop users from sliding, the standard outlines certain standards and test procedures.
The requirement for crampons to properly grip and offer stability when navigating a variety of difficult terrains is emphasized in the standard. It ensures the crampons' endurance and functionality in a variety of mountaineering situations by including provisions for both snow and ice conditions as well as mixed terrain.
Crampons must pass rigorous testing to determine their safety and dependability in order to fulfill the DIN EN 893 standard. The document specifies the specific approaches and steps manufacturers must take when carrying out these tests. These tests determine whether the crampons operate as intended and whether they are resistant to slippage, breaking, and general performance.
