Fall protection
Personal fall protection equipment is used for preventing injury or fatalities on persons working on high levels. Fall protection equipment is category III according to the PPE directive and must therefore be type approved by a notified body, such as SP.
SP can also perform the recurrent production control necessary for category III products.
SP is, since 1994, a Notified Body for certification of personal protective equipment for CE-marking in accordance with Directive 89/686/EEC, indicating that the equipment fulfils the requirements in the directive.

SP has many years' experience of testing personal protective equipment and is also actively taking part in national, European and international standardization work. Testing can be performed in accordance with several European standards or in accordance with the client's own performance requirements.
|
SP is a “one-stop-shop” for testing and certification of fall protection.
We can perform testing and certification of fall protection equipment, mountaineering equipment and rescue equipment in accordance with the following standards:
