Marking according to Standards EN 362 & EN 12275 – P.P.E. – Personal Protective Equipment
Maillon Rapide quick links used as a connector on P.P.E. (personal protective equipment) against falls from heights, mountaineering and rock climbing, are distinguished by a specific marking in relation with following European standards:
EN 362 standard - industrial P.P.E.: fall arrest systems, work restraint, work positioning, rope access.
EN 12275 standard - mountaineering P.P.E.: rock climbing, climbing walls, caving, canyoning.
Breaking strength in kN is identified on Péguet Maillon Rapide quick links meant for application in P.P.E. Breaking strength must not be under 25 kN.
When used in P.P.E., the breaking strength engraved on the Maillon Rapide quick links clearly identifies the maximum load.
