and therefore potentially dangerous.
C) If the user has the slightest doubt concerning the
efficiency of the device, it must be replaced immediately,
particularly after having used it to stop a fall. Improper use,
deformation, falls, wear, chemical contamination, exposure
to temperatures below -30°C or higher than +50°C for the
textile/plastic components/devices, and +100°C for metal
devices, are some examples of other causes that may
reduce, limit or end the life of the device. We strongly
suggest using the device personally in order to continuously
monitor the degree of protection and efficiency.
D) This device can be used combined with personal
protective equipment that conforms to Directive 89/686/
EEC when compatible with the relevant information from
the manufacturer.
E) The anchoring position is essential for safely stopping
a fall: carefully assess the free height under the user
(clearance), height of a potential fall, rope paid out, the
stretch in any energy dissipaters or absorbers, the height
of the user and the "pendulum" effect in order to avoid all
possible problems (e.g. ground, material rubbing against
the rock face, abrasions, etc..).
F) Minimum resistance of anchoring points, on both natural
and artificial elements, must be 12 kN. The assessment
of those made on natural elements (rocks, plants, etc.) is
possible only empirically, and must therefore be performed
by a competent expert, while those on artificial elements
(metal, concrete, etc.) can be calculated scientifically, and
must therefore be performed by qualified personnel.
G) It is strictly forbidden to modify and/or repair the device.
H) Avoid exposing the device to heat sources or to contact
with chemical substances. Reduce direct exposure to the
sunlight to a minimum, particularly for textile and plastic
devices.
At low temperatures and in the presence of moisture can
form ice that, on textile devices, can reduce flexibility and
increase the risk of cutting and abrasion.
I) Make sure that the device has been supplied complete,
in its original packaging and with the manufacturer's
information. It is compulsory for dealers selling products in
countries other than the original destination to check and
supply the translation of this information.
L) All our devices are tested/inspected piece by piece in
accordance with the procedures of the Quality System
certified according to the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard. Our
personal protective equipment is certified by the accredited
authority indicated in the device's specific instructions
and, if they belong to category III, are also subjected to
production surveillance - in compliance with article 11/B of
Directive 89/686/CEE - by an authority whose accreditation
number is indicated on the device.
Warning: laboratory tests, inspections, information
and norms do not always manage to reproduce what
actually happens in practice, and so performance
under real usage conditions in a natural environment
can differ, sometimes even considerably. The best
information can be gained by continual practice under
