Frequently Asked Questions

Is this karabiner CE certified and compliant with French standards?

Yes. The Ref. 39 karabiner bears the CE marking and complies with EN 362 and EU Regulation 2016/425. These certifications are mandatory for Category III PPE (protection against fatal risks).

What is the maximum admissible impact force with this karabiner?

The nominal strength of the Ref. 39 is 25 kN. When used with an energy absorber (EN 355), the impact force transmitted to the body is limited to a maximum of 6 kN. SASSI recommends using this karabiner with a complete fall arrest system compliant with EN 363.

What is the regulatory lifespan of a PPE karabiner?

Fall arrest PPE must be inspected annually by a competent person and replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions (generally 10 years maximum, or immediately after a fall). Any PPE that has undergone a fall must be removed from service and inspected before reuse.
