At its principal annual meeting held in Chamonix, France in April 2025, the UIAA Safety Commission (SafeCom) approved two new Safety Standards and the revision of several others.
Last month, an update to the Rock Anchor Standards was published. SafeCom has now officially updated revisions to the following Standards: 106, Helmets; 108, Energy Absorbing Systems and 130, Load Sharing Devices. They can all be downloaded from the Safety Standards library.
The new Standards: 108, Static Ropes with a very low elongation and 171, Via Ferrata Construction are expected to be release very shortly.
“We are delighted to be able to publish these revised Standards. I’d like to recognise the significant expertise, commitment and dedication of the various working groups in bringing these significant updates life,” explains SafeCom President Lionel Kiener.
