Home made kit / EN numbers / CE stuff

[Dilz]

In this instance, Making a bit of thing for using when hainvg an SRT a canopy anchor. You cant buy anything ready made like what i want /  have made. 

the EN 759 B relates to anchouring devices and slings etc.

So long as all the parts use conform to this EN standard its good to go Or not? 

 

I made one using 9mm prussik cord that was only tested to EN 564 - accesory cord, and got a grumble because its not technically tested for anchoring. 

 

Figure this is a grey area with TF making all their CE made lanyards etc.  

 

Most the time id say where one could place their EN and CE marks, and its a dark and sunless place...but alas times change and days of being a rock n roll subby are slowly being exchanged for long and dreary acts of responsibilty.

Pics mate.

 

I try and keep canopy anchors as simple as possible, but I know that you know your stuff, so you obviously have a reason for wanting to use it.

 

My go-to guy for stuff like this would be Ben Rose , @BenR.

Maybe he can help.

Could you not use a 9mm friction cord rather than accessory cord? Maybe similar strength but at least friction cord is rated to hold people.

I think you're right, it is a bit grey regarding CE on components vs systems.

Hello gents, 

 

I think without the context of what you are trying to achieve it would be very hard to say what’s ok and what’s not. 
 

That said, I don’t see what’s wrong with a cambium saver knotblocked for pruning and a simple running bowline for dismantling. That’s all I ever use.
