Mountaineering equipment - Ice-tools - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13089 standard outlines methods and criteria for guaranteeing the dependability and safety of ice tools used in climbing sports. These ice tools can be used as buried anchors to stop falls or for climbing.
Ice tools must adhere to the standard's safety requirements in order to be suitable for use in mountaineering. It offers a set of standards that producers must follow while creating ice tools, taking into account elements like strength, durability, and ergonomic design. These specifications are designed to guarantee that the ice tools can endure the demands of mountaineering activities as well as possible stressors and forces.
The standard also specifies test procedures to evaluate the effectiveness and security of ice tools. The tools are put through a variety of stress tests, including load tests, impact tests, and fatigue tests, in order to assess their structural integrity and performance under various circumstances. These tests are intended to find any potential flaws or shortcomings in the ice tools and reduce any safety hazards that they may provide to climbers.
