Fake certified climbing equipment

Read this article first

 

 

Recently while doing loler inspections I’ve seen a few items that people have bought cheaply from the internet and have been using. I cant pass these items as "safe to use" as there’s no knowing who made them or if they were tested.

 

If good no cheap and if cheap no good” my old boss once said.

 

There are many companies’ selling cheap products on the internet, they generally tend to originate from China or that area. We don’t know if these have been properly tested which makes them potentially dangerous. They may have CE printed on them but in this instance, it means “China Export” . They also sometimes carry an EU or UIAA mark. There is very probably no individual serial number present and the kN rating is sometimes not what would be expected for that particular product. There is generally no documentation or data sheet that comes with the equipment.

 

Xinda does appear to have some safety certificates issued by the UIAA for sport but no certificates of compliance for work so no CE or UKCA marks. Xinda also gets faked a lot by other Chinese companies keen to make some quick money.
