Standards & Safety (EN / European PPE Standards)
Adela Figure-8 devices are typically designed and tested to meet key European safety standards that apply to connectors and PPE used in fall protection:
✔️ EN 362 – Connectors
This is the primary standard for connectors (including descenders, carabiners, and rings) used in personal fall protection systems. Devices certified to EN 362 are tested for:
-
Static strength (in kN) — often ≥30 kN for figure-8 descenders
-
Durability of gate/attachment points
-
Safe working load and break strength
