For over 220 years EDELWEISS has accompanied the mountaineering pioneers and continues today to be present alongside athletes and professionals in height. With this experience, punctuated by constant innovation and quality research, we can be a key player in your safety. Our goal remains to connect you to the life. EDELWEISS Stay connected.
The working life depends on the frequency and the type of use. Abrasion, UV exposure and humidity gradually degrade the properties of the rope. Note that with use, a rope thickens and thus loses up to 10% length.
There are two types of ropes. TypeA: Rope for use in rescue, or as a working or security line for work at height. In the latter case it is used for access to the place of work in combination with other items of equipment, or to undertake work under tension or in suspension on the rope. TypeB: Rope of lesser diameter and strength than TypeA, demanding greater precautions and attention to security during use.
Storage time: In good storage conditions a rope may be kept for 5 years before first use without affecting its future lifetime duration in use. Lifetime in use: A rope could be destroyed during its first use. It is the inspections which determine if the product must be scrapped more quickly. Proper storage between uses is essential. The lifetime of the rope in use must never exceed 10 years. The total maximum lifetime (storage before use + lifetime in use) is thus limited to 15 years.
The core: the heart of the rope, providing the majority of its strength.
Thin band running through the rope indicating its type, diameter, the standard it conforms to and year of manufacture.

Relationship between time of exposure at high temperature and residual strength of Aramid
unicore concept
An astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the ropes suppleness. Even in the hardest conditions of use sheath slippage is suppressed. If the sheath is cut or torn, core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurrence in work at height and in rescues, it slides and gathers over some metres. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, either to ascend or to descend. If the problem occurs near to the end of the rope the sheath may slide off completely, and the user fall to the ground. With the UNICORE process the sheath remains in place and the user may escape, either by descent or ascent, taking all necessary precautions. He/she is not stuck without a solution on the rope.

Concepts
EDELWEISS, at the height of its 220 years of experience in designing products dedicated to verticality, presents its latest innovation: PERFORM 3. This new development applied to a wide range of dynamic ropesprovides the following benefits: 1. improved flexibility = increased comfort. 2. improved energy absorption = increased safety. 3. weight reduction = increased performance. EDELWEISS was the first climbing rope maker to apply a Supereverdry treatment to its fibres. The benefits of a Supereverdry treatment are self-evident: the ropes are lighter in case of humidity, dry quicker and dont tend to stiffen due to freezing. The Supereverdry treatment is applied to all fibres in the core and the sheath. Comparative
Perform 3
tests demonstrate the superiority of this treatment over competing methods of other manufacturers with respect to durability as well as efficiency. Everdry EDELWEISS was the first climbing rope maker to apply a Everdry treatment to its sheath. The benefits of a Everdry treatment makes the ropes lighter in case of humidity, dry quicker and dont tend to stiffen due to freezing. The Everdry treatment is applied only to the fibres of the sheath. HD Cover is a technology through which, each cover thread is individually controlled, as opposed to standard braiding where the threads are controlled by pairs. With this High Definition braiding and although
the thickness of the sheath remains the same, the rope surface is much smoother than with a standard braiding, the rope doesnt generate extra braking in belay systems and actions become more comfortable; another positive consequence, the wear due to abrasion is also reduced and the rope lifetime accordingly extended. EDELWEISS CANYON ropes conception is really different from the competition.The rope cover sheath uses a combination of the performance of Polyamide and Polyester. The benefits are better abrasion resistance and a shrinkage in water divided by 3. EDELWEISS CANYON ropes remain flexible and manageable throughout their lifetime.

The resistance of Aramid to high temperatures is best illustrated by the graph illustrating the residual strength after exposure to raised temperatures. Thus we may for example see that after 10 hours of exposure at 200C it retains 100% of its strength, or that after 1 hour at 350C it retains 90% of its strength.

The duotech is thus a classic semi static rope well adapted to various types of work on ropes, to rescue, and to tactical applications. In event of a very violent fall an internal vectran fuse will rupture, and the rope then becomes dynamic, with all the security that characterizes dynamic ropes. The fuse will rupture under a force of around 3 kN. In addition, duotech resists a fall factor 1 drop holding 100 kg over a sharp metal edge of 0.75 mm radius. Ideal for delicate operations at height, pylon climbing, clock towers, rescue and fast technical intervention.

Short lengths of rope with sewn terminations for constructing self-locking (prusik) loops. These ropes have a 50 % aramid construction intermixed with polyester filaments. Prusiks made from classic ropes have a very short life, because they glaze in use due to the effect of friction. The presence of 50% of highly thermally resistant aramid fibres in Volcano protect it against melting and thus greatly increases its lifetime. Available in 10 and 12 mm, according to the knot to be used. Material CORE / SHEATH: Polyamid Polyester / Aramid Norm: CE EN 354

STANDARD NORMS
All products manufactured for sale in the EU as Personal Protective Equipment must comply to one or more relevent product standards. These are all EN pr prEN specifications, and a compliant product should be marked with the EN number, the CE code logotype and the details of the approvals agency. Below is a list of all equipment specifications relating to height safety PPE.
industrial height safety equipment generally has a standard in this section, and more are being added over time. If an industrial standard exists, then products used AT WORK must comply to it. Standard Relates to: EN362 Connectors (carabiners, scaffold hooks, etc) EN363 Fall arrest systems (tested as a complete system) EN364 Test methods - the standard for how to test products for compliance, used by manufacturers. EN365 General requirements for instructions for use, maintenance, periodic examination, repair, marking and packaging - the standard defining what labels and instructions must be used on a product, and what the user is responsible for in terms of maintenance and examination. EN813 Sit harnesses (industrial abseil harnesses) EN1891 Low stretch kernmantel rope (semi-static rope)
many products do not yet have an industrial standard, but there is a sport mountaineering version. These mostly come from UIAA specifications, and are no less stringent. If a product does NOT have an industrial standard, then a mountaineering compliance makes it suitable for use at work. If a product has both, the industrial standard must be used. The best example of this is connectors - a snap-lock carabiner will comply to EN12275 but fail EN362 (which needs a locking mechanism), and so it cannot be used at work. Standard EN564 EN565 EN566 EN567 EN568 EN569 EN892 EN893 EN958 Relates to: Accessory cord, safety requirements and test methods Tape, safety requirements and test methods Slings, safety requirements and test methods Rope clamps, safety requirements and test methods Ice anchors, safety requirements and test methods Pitons, safety requirements and test methods Dynamic mountaineering rope, safety requirements and test methods Crampons, safety requirements and test methods Energy absorbing systems for via ferrata (klettersteig) climbing, safety requirements and test methods Standard EN959 EN12270 EN12275 EN12276 EN12277 EN12278 EN12492 EN13089 Relates to: Rock anchors, safety requirements and test methods Chocks, safety requirements and test methods Connectors, safety requirements and test methods Frictional anchors, safety requirements and test methods Harnesses, safety requirements and test methods Pulleys, safety requirements and test methods Climbers safety helmets, safety requirements and test methods Ice tools, safety requirements and test methods
standards for equipment that may be used outside height safety, such as fibre ropes and site helmets. Relates to: Industrial safety helmets (site hats) Polyamide fibre ropes (laid and braided - not kernmantel) General service fibre ropes (natural fibre and other polymers not covered by EN696) Anchor devices - requirements and testing (industrial and climbing anchors for any purpose) General criteria for Certificates of Conformity (instructions for manufacturers)
Specialist standards for rescue equipment. These can only be used for rescuing a casualty in an emergency situation, and are not acceptable for normal work use unless they also comply to the relevent industrial standards, so a harness that complies to EN1497 but not to EN361 cannot be used for industrial fall arrest. Standard EN1496 EN1497 EN1498 Relates to: Rescue lifting devices (hauling and winching devices) Rescue harnesses (rescue nappies and emergency escape harnesses) Rescue loops (casualty lifting strops)
