6 – LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Professional and recreational activities are often regulated
by specific national laws that may impose specific limits
and/or requirements for the use of PPE and the preparation
of safety systems, which included the PPE in their
components. The user is obliged to know and apply these
laws, which may in some cases impose obligations different
from those contained in this information.
7 – GUARANTEE
The manufacturer guarantees that the device complies
with regulations in force at the time of production. The
guarantee covering faults is limited to production defects
and raw materials. It does not include wear and tear,
oxidation, damages caused by improper use and/or
during competition, incorrect maintenance, transport,
conservation, storage, etc. The guarantee becomes void as
soon as the device is modified or tampered with. The validity
corresponds to the legal guarantee of the country where the
device was sold by the manufacturer, with effect from the
date of sale. After this period no claim can be made against
the manufacturer. Any request for repair or replacement
under this warranty must be accompanied by a proof of
purchase. If the defect is accepted, the manufacturer, at
its sole discretion, will repair, replace or refund the device.
Under no circumstances does the manufacturer's liability
extend beyond the invoice price of the device.
8 – SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The Personal Protective Equipment class III, 824.000 known
as CAM CLEAN (fig. 1) is:
- a rope clamp, certified to EN 567:13 norm and UIAA 126
standards, and by inserting it onto textile ropes, conforming
to norms EN 564 (accessories ropes) or EN 892 (dynamic
ropes) or EN 1891 (semi-static ropes) with a ø of between
8 and 13 mm, it will lock under load in one direction being
free to slide in the opposite direction (direction of use),
- a working line ascender, certified to standard EN 12841:06
type B, designed for progression in ascent on textile
working ropes conforming to standard EN 1891 (semi-
static ropes) with a ø of between 10 and 13 mm, which
must be compulsorily used with a fall arrester device,
conforming to standard EN 12841 type A or EN 353-2,
inserted onto the safety rope (e.g. such as the BACK-UP).
It also complies with NFPA 1983 (2012 ed.) T for technical
use on textile ropes with a diameter between 10 and 13 mm.
These devices work perfectly well with dry clean textile ropes.
Warning: the locking action can be considerably reduced with
dirty , oily, muddy or icy ropes, until it fails to work altogether
and the devices slides along the rope. This chiefly occurs
with ropes with small diameter: for this reason we advise
using a rope with a diameter of at least 10 mm. The special
drilled tooth, helping to expel mud, mitigates but not resolve
the said problem. Warning : it is essential not to use the rope
clamp with wire ropes.
