SAR slings have been produced from a new weave of webbing to give extra strength, higher resistance to abrasion resistance and UV degradation.
They come in varying lengths, two widths, 25mm and 18mm and two colours , Orange and Black.
All the above slings have been certified to the following standards;
EN795 Class B. Protection against falls from height transportable temporary anchor devices. A static force of 15kNto be applied for three mins.
EN566. Mountaineering equipment slings. Tensile strength of at least 22kN
EN354. Personal Protective Equipment against falls from height – LANYARDS. To obtain a tensile strength of 22kN for 3mins without any damage as in EN364 Test 5.1 and to have a Dynamic test using a 100kg mass falling 4M i.e. a 2M length fall factor two without releasing the load as in EN364 Test 5.2.
NOTE:
Slings like any other equipment must be looked after and checked regularly for any degradation and stored correctly. The sling is your life line and if you take care of it, it will take care of you.
