TruBlue Auto Belay Safety Standards

If a carabiner needs to meet safety standards, shouldn’t your auto belay?  Would you trust a harness that doesn't meet strict safety criteria?

Did you know that in the climbing world, auto belays are not governed by any safety standards?  They are in other industries!  We believe auto belays should meet the same standards as other fall arrest devices.  After all, if your carabiner has to meet a standard, why shouldn't your auto belay device?

We engineered our auto belays to meet the following international safety standards:

• American National Standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.4-2007 “Safety Requirements for Assisted-Rescue and Self-Rescue Systems, Subsystems and Components”
• Canadian Standard, CSA Z259.2.3-99 “Descent Control Devices”
• Australian and New Zealand Standard, AS/NZS 1891.3 1997 “Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices – part 3: Fall arrest devices”
• European Union Directive BS EN 341 “Personal protection equipment against falls from a height – Descender devices”

Not only are our auto belays engineered to meet the strictest safety standards of all auto belays, TruBlue auto belays have undergone extensive testing by an ISO 17025 certified lab specializing in product safety testing.
