competent splicer?

[High Scale]

Can you not just say that the splice is fit for purpose? Like if you purchase a non CE marked harness from the USA you can still use it because it's fit for purpose.

no you cant

and no you cant bring a harness back or buy one in this country thats not CE marked

 

also a loler guy cannot fail a rope due to it,s splice

only advise it does not meet CE standard but it,s basically the same

Yes you can bring one back and use it without a CE mark you just cannot sell one without a CE mark:sneaky2:

 

Funny how the elite have not responded.

My understanding of CE marking is that it is about "placing on the market"

I do know that I can build a canal boat and use it without a CE compliance

file,but I cannot sell it on within 5 years.

 

I suspect that Carls take on CE marking is correct,getting the paperwork

ticked off is another can of worms:sneaky2:

i've spoke to a few spliced rope suppliers on splicing but i beleieve it's up to them to state how their business operates.

 

I'm under the impression that most come factory spliced in set lengths, hence most folks sell rope in 35 / 45m lengths

Good discussion. Sad and sorry state of affairs imo.

 

Here is a pic of a factory splice next to a non-factory one. I bet you can tell which is which

So to clarify, is Bob right, or is Carl right, or are both slightly right, or both slightly wrong???? The last thing we need is confusion and misinformation:bike:
