Certified in accordance with EN341:2011-1A and EN360:2002
The “Most Tested. Most Trusted. Most Tru.” Auto Belay in the world just passed another BIG test!
What does this mean?
We believe in testing our equipment to the strictest standards. We have an awesome responsibility as the world leader in Auto Belay manufacturing to take the lead in regulation and safety requirements. With roughly one billion descents a year on our devices around the world, we have the most tested auto belay on the market.
- EN341:2011 is the CE standard for Personal Protective Equipment against falls from height – Descender Devices
- “Class 1” – Relates to automatic descenders
- “A” – Signifies the highest level of testing in this category
- EN360:2002 – is the CE standard for Personal Protective Equipment against falls from height – Retractable type fall arresters
Above and Beyond
TÜV SÜD tested the TRUBLUE devices to 10x Class A. This represents a 15,000% increase in testing cycles than our closest competitor (Class C). We are also the only Auto Belay certified as meeting the requirements of EN360:2002. This means our device is designed and certified for Shock Loads. If you don’t have a TRUBLUE, be sure to check your device to see if it meets these standards.
Why it’s important?
Every day, gyms, competitions, camps, etc. have a choice to make when they pick an Auto Belay for their business. They can choose the best, or they can choose one that tests to a lower standard. With lives hanging, we fully believe that going with the device that is the most thoroughly tested is the only option.
