Petzl sequoia buckle serious failure

[Gary Prentice]

 

also: btggaz petzl are responsible for the sources of their components and furthermore they must even detail the EXACT companies from whom they source their raw aluminium & raw fibers in their technical file which they submitted for the harness to the certifying body when it was tested to the relevant en's & ce certified. if they wanted to switch to a supplier not detailed in the file they would have to apply & pay to have it amended.

 

I think you may be misunderstanding or taking my post out of context. I wasn't suggesting that petzl weren't responsible but saying that the component failure or quality control issue originated at the supplier of the buckle itself.

 

My missus halted all of trolls production , many yrs ago, when a webbing supplier altered the constituent chemicals in the dyeing process which in turn altered certain characteristics in the material.

 

In the end the buck stops with the company whose name is on the product label wherever the blame actually lies.
