LIFESPAN, OBSOLESCENCE AND COMPONENT INSPECTION
If any doubt exists about rope safety either:
a) remove it from service and place it in quarantine for further inspection; or
b) remove it from service and cut it into short enough lengths so that it can not be used again.
In all cases, remove a Tachyon™ or Braided Safety Blue™ climbing line from service:
if any concern arises about abrasion damage or any other material damage or physical
ƒ
characteristic;
if the mantle/cover is ruptured;
ƒ
if it has been used to arrest a fall.
ƒ
WARNING
Under no circumstances use climbing lines for rigging operations.
[slaice] Inspection
®
Observe the manufacturer's information provided for [slaice]
The eye termination, and the first few metres of rope, are likely to experience accelerated wear
compared to other sections of rope. Use the assessment criteria for the rope when inspecting
the eye termination for cuts, abrasion and heat damage. Remove the constriction band before
inspecting the eye so that all parts can be checked.
Check the stitching at the rope's termination for worn or ruptured sewing threads!
Check the eye of the [slaice]
In the eye, the rope's core has been removed. The (visible) sheath carries the entire load. Ta-
chyon ropes include an interior Dyneema
the case with Braided Safety Blue ropes. Once the sheath has been damaged, it is absolutely
necessary that the product be retired from service.
Protruding fibers/yarns are an indicator of abrasion stress. Cuts constitute a form of damage to
the rope. Deformations and crushed portions may be a result of local overloading. Fused and
hardened sections are an indicator of thermal overloading and/or the impact of chemicals.
If any doubts exist about the safety of the [slaice]
remove the rope from service,
ƒ
mark it clearly and unmistakably so that it will not accidentally be reused, and
ƒ
keep it in a separate place or cut the [slaice]
