loler lowering rope??

[educated arborist]

i can get it 2 my door within 48 hours or so. Do you want some? Are you sugesting that there's something wrong with selling un-CE'd gear? Or do you just have problems sourcing it?

[bob]

You don't need a CE mark & for a loler inspection you don't need a ce mark on anything it just has to be fit for purpouse. CE marking binds retailers, wholesalers & manufac's. Armour prus is not ce marked but there is no reason not to use it as priction cord shold you wish. Y didn't you just ask your loler inspector?

 

when did you last do an update

you are 100% wrong

if you want to pm me and even have a chat

feel free

Interesting.

 

Yes I do want some, and I would like to know who supplies it.

 

On a completely unrelated note, yes, I believe there are issues with supplying gear without CE marks, even if you sell it as "accessory cord", since everyone knows what its really for anyway. If someone did come a cropper using it then the supplier could well be held liable.

 

FWIW, there are good reasons why armor prus does not have a CE mark, although they wouldnt stop me using it as a hitch cord.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. Perhaps he should have a word with his Loler inspector?

this will lead to more and more confusion and slating of the loler inspector irregularities which really is a shame

we could go on for hours on this one as far as you need to know for the portland braid there is no EN that adiquitley covers its construction so there is no ce requirment for that rope used for non PPE.

 

well leave it there

Surely selling something as accessory cord means that if someone uses it as prussic cord they took that choice upon themselves. I'm sure you could try to use drag chains as a prussic but i'm sure it's not CE marked. that is however way off topic

You are right Peter, there is a good reason it is not CE marked. It is a mine field of red tape and paper work if you produce outside the Eu as we do.

 

Ap meets and exceeds every standard out there, you would think to get Ce approved it is just a formality....Ha I say, Lots of cash and time, that is the answer.

 

We have not given up but it is a hard road and as 95% of our products are sold "down under" it has to be justified as a cost.

 

Having said that I'm sure we can make an accessory cord to the sample specifications, this would be great for tying on Binos and holding the chainsaw.

 

If it was used as a prussic as it twin sister AP is everywhere else I'm sure there would not be a problem. All a personal choice I would think.

 

Thanks for your support guys, hopefully I can let you all know soon where you can get it form locally.
