might be that things have changed some things deffinatly had for me would still be interested if others are agreeing with me or not p.s rigging kit does not need CE and splice to your hearts content:thumbup: but be carefull as if they fail more than a log would hit the frying pan:thumbdown:

it was nearly 2 yrs ago and things have changed i believe

but the cert of conformity from america would not be able to say conforms to european legislation or would it as i understand splicing no quals available but moves are been made to do testing and competency proven loler inspectors have no need to be able to splice but a lot have an understanding and it,s all in the wording ie splice apears to ......ect problem with loler is it,s a minefield and some are not current and do not have enough indepth knowledge of kit and uses and rope construction and configuration ect ect

anyone been wearing them at all or are they too new always a bit wary till reports come in i have the airstreams and really rate them will be interested to see some feedback

Taken from lantra loler workbook ALL items of PPE should conform to to appropriate CE standards taken from nptc assessment schedule ppe at work regs 1992 Must have evidence of conformity to appropriate european norms puwer acop says it it is illegal for manufacturers or importers to supply or sell there seems to be an assumption that it not illegal to actually use non CE marked equipment. This ignores the fact that the deffinition of importer is anyone who brings the equipment into the uk not just retail buisness puwer reg 10 Products should carry a CE marking and be accompanied by relevant certificates of conformity i can keep going with examples may get wife to type em all in or scan a couple of pages if folk want basically fit for purpose no longer is a get out who is the loler guy to assess that otherwise i could make a harness and get a loler guy to pass it fit for purpose i have been doing loler since it started and have just done an update when i started i used to say fit for purpose ect but it,s not right why cant suppliers sell non ce kit because we cant use it rich had some AP passed did the loler guy know what it was and who had spliced and that it was not CE sorry for rambling i will get off my box and leave you to it unless you want me to carry on as when i get on a subject like this i can keep going for ages p.s spikes now should be inspected honest

what else can it be you have imported it end of

well done glad you settled down and passed how bad were the nerves on assessment thats the worst thing i find once you get going it usually flows:thumbup:

bet it,s lovely and dry at the moment:lol:

mince pie and cheese mr kiplings of course:thumbup:

you would then be the importer and liable for prosecution NO you cant:blushing:

should be at that price

why not to see if i could find a nice use for it and never had a go

yes and yes and you should practice even if with a mate

Arborist Equipment and Tree Surgeon Supplies i have just borrowed similar to this anyone using one if so what why when or any ideas:thumbup:

next thing you know 3 dogs will break his brand new 441:blushing: and be on here winging:thumbup:

made me smile seeing your set up with some nice green tachyon must get myself some of that:blushing:

they are the same qual just 2 parts to assessment

it,s not a blakes:blushing:

heathen:blushing:

looking forward to the pics

dont kid yourself most folks sharpening at least double,s the vib and some of us been using saws a long time and lots of folk using old saws rather than upgrading i suffer slightly and now run all modern kit and take care with cutter length and angles and change sprockets ect my local saw shop averages 300 chains to a sprocket sold:blushing:

no you cant and no you cant bring a harness back or buy one in this country thats not CE marked also a loler guy cannot fail a rope due to it,s splice only advise it does not meet CE standard but it,s basically the same

i use 10mm in a bag so can get more in and runs nice on cinch did feel thin at first but seems ok in uk all our stuff needs to be over 22kn so need to be carefull what we use also i believe AP will not have any stretch so beware on a fall ect even a small one and we are not supposed to use armour prus over here as no CE :thumbdown:mark:thumbdown:

dick bar is wrong one definatly ring them up check the chain either on box it will say 3/8 or see if it fits round end of bar or sprocket

looking good matty:thumbup:
