to a fall must be discontinued at once. If there is only the slightest doubt, the product needs to
be retired or subjected to testing and by a competent person.
When using the equipment in occupational health and safety to EN 365, it must be checked at
least every 12 months by a duly qualified person strictly observing the instructions, or else by
the manufacturer, and it must, whenever necessary, be replaced. These inspections must be

regulations for inspection intervals.
Such inspections must comprise:
Check of general state: age, completeness, soiling, correct assembly
�
Check of label: Does it exist? Is it legible? Is there a CE marking? Does it specify the year
�
of manufacture?
Check of all individual parts for mechanical damage such as: cuts, cracks, indentations,
�
abrasion, formation of ribs, kinks, crushing.
Check of al individual parts for thermal or chemical damage such as: fusing, hardening.
�
Check of metal components for corrosion and deformations.
�
Check of condition and completeness of end connections, stitching (e.g. no abrasio of
�
sewing thread), splices (e.g. no slippage), knots.
Again, the following rule applies: If there is only the slightest doubt, the product needs to
