Artificial climbing structures - Part 3: Safety requirements and test methods for climbing holds

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements and test methods for holds. This European Standard is applicable to holds, which are used for the natural progression of the climber, i.e. without the use of artificial means (e.g. ice axes, crampons, hooks, nuts) on artificial climbing structures (ACS) and bouldering walls. Holds are designed to be mounted on the ACS with bolts, screws etc. Holds include large volumes or features that are designed for use without additional holds being attached to them. (Volumes or features that are designed for use with additional holds attached to them should meet the requirements of EN 12572-1) The main fixation points for holds forms part of the existing layout of the ACS and are considered in EN 12572-1 and EN 12572-2. A hold is not a belay anchor system; it is not designed to accommodate the latter and is therefore is not intended for belaying the climber. If a hold is designed as belay point it should meet EN 12572-1 and EN 12572-3 of the standard. This European Standard is not applicable to ice climbing, dry tooling and playground equipment.

Künstliche Kletteranlagen - Teil 3: Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Klettergriffe

Diese Europäische Norm legt die sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Klettergriffe fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Klettergriffe, die für das natürliche Vorankommen von Kletterern, d. h. ohne den Gebrauch künstlicher Hilfsmittel (z. B. Eispickel, Steigeisen, Haken, Klemmkeile) an künstlichen Kletter¬anlagen (KKA) und Boulderwänden verwendet werden. Klettergriffe sind zum Befestigen an KKA mit Bolzen, Schrauben usw. konstruiert. Zu den Klettergriffen gehören große Volumen oder Strukturen, die für den Gebrauch ohne zusätzlich daran befestigte Klettergriffe ausgeführt sind. Die Hauptbefestigungspunkte für Klettergriffe sind Teil der KKA Anordnung und werden in EN 12572 1 und EN 12572 2 behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Eisklettern, Drytooling (Eisklettern an künstlichen Wänden) und Spielplatzgeräte.

Structures artificielles d'escalade - Partie 3 : Exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai pour prises d'escalade

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d’essai applicables aux prises d’escalade.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux prises d’escalade utilisées pour la progression normale du grimpeur, c’est-à-dire sans utiliser de moyens artificiels (par exemple, des piolets, des crampons, des crochets, des coinceurs), sur les structures artificielles d’escalade (SAE) et les pans ou blocs d’escalade. Les prises d’escalade sont conçues pour être fixées sur les SAE à l’aide de boulons, de vis, etc. Ces prises d’escalade incluent les macro-prises et des éléments sans dispositif permettant l’ajout de prises d’escalade. Les principaux points de fixation des prises d’escalade font partie de la configuration de la SAE et sont examinés dans le FprEN 12572-1 et le FprEN 12572-2.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas à l’escalade sur glace, au dry tooling ou aux équipements d’aires de jeux.

Umetne plezalne stene - 3. del: Varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za oprimke

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za oprimke. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za oprimke, ki se uporabljajo za naravno napredovanje plezalca, t.j. brez uporabe umetnih pripomočkov (npr. cepina, derez, vponk, zatičev) na umetnih plezalnih stenah in balvanskih stenah. Oprimke se pritrdi na umetno plezalno steno s sorniki, vijaki itd. Oprimki imajo različne oblike ali funkcije, ki so namenjene za uporabo tako, da nanje ni treba pritrditi dodatnih oprimkov. (Oblike ali funkcije, ki so namenjene za uporabo tako, da so nanje pritrjeni dodatni oprimki, naj bi izpolnjevale zahteve standarda EN 12572-1.) Glavne pritrdilne točke za oprimke so del obstoječih postavitev umetnih plezalnih sten in so obravnavane v standardih EN 12572-1 in EN 12572-2. Oprimek ni varovalni sidrni sistem; ni namenjen, da bi vključeval sidrni sistem in zato ni namenjen varovanju plezalca. Če je oprimek zasnovan kot varovalna točka, bi naj izpolnjeval zahteve standardov EN 12572-1 in EN 12572-3. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za plezanje po ledu, plezanje »dry tooling« in opremo za otroška igrišča.

EN 12572-3:2017 (E) 4 Introduction The working group recognize that there is a potential danger to ACS users from being struck by falling pieces of climbing holds that break whilst in use on an ACS. Some propriety systems within climbing holds have been developed by manufacturers in response to this problem but the systems have not been perfected and further development work is required. The aim is to develop a system that would prevent 'large' pieces of a broken hold that could cause serious injury to ACS users, from being able to 'break-off' and fall from the ACS. Designers and manufacturers are requested to work on new systems that would address this problem. SIST EN 12572-3:2017
