Self tied eye2eye and LOLER

[tomrose.arb]

Hi all

 

I have a question that might be quite basic, but I really have no idea. I've got a loler inspection coming up soon and rather than buying official CE marked eye2eye friction cord (to expensive!) I've just been buying mine in by the metre and tying my own fishermans knot on each end, as I have seen many other climbers do. My question is would this pass a loler inspection?

 

Many thanks

As it stands its not individually identifiable so that's a fail

 

What you need to do is make it identifiable with a unique reference number attached to the cord. Write it on a bit of fabric plaster with an indelible pen and attach it with shrink tube.

 

You can let your LOLER inspector do this if they offer the service but its cheaper to do it yourself.

So long as you have them clearly idintified I can't see a problem.
