You Are In: Industry Standards

 

KEY INDUSTRY STANDARDS SETTING ORGANIZATIONS

National Fire Protection Association- NFPA standards are based on industry consensus and voluntary compliance, NFPA 1983 Standard on Fire Service Life Safety Rope and System Components sets standards for rope rescue equipment.   AHS Rescue offers the widest selection of rope, harnesses, and hardware certified to NFPA 1983

American National Standards Institute- ANSI is a private-sector standards coordination center for US and international standards, While ANSI standards are consensus based with voluntary compliance, they become mandatory when referenced in OSHA regulations. ANSI Z359.1 is an example of a standard affecting fall protection. CMC Rescue uses this particular standard to certify many of there harnesses.

ASTM- the ASTM F32 Committee on Search & Rescue writes standards on search and rescue operations and equipment. ASTM standards are developed through the consensus of ASTM members.  Compliance is voluntary.  One important and useful standard, ASTM F 1740-96, concerns the inspection and retirement of rescue ropes.

Occupational Safety & Health Administration- OSHA is a federal agency that develops mandatory regulations governing workplace safety.  Some of these regulations cover fall protection and confined space entry and rescue.

Union of International Alpine Associations- UIAA is a European mountaineering organization that develops sport climbing and mountaineering equipment standards. UIAA standards are being phased into CEN standards.

Cordage Institute- CI is an association of rope manufacturers that works to develop standards for rope specifications and performance.

Society for Professional Rope Access Technicians- SPRAT is an association of rope manufacturers, educators and users that develops a consensus standard titled “Safe Practices for Rope Access.”

ISO 9001 Quality Assurance- ISO 9001 is an association that gives third party certification for international standards, and monitors for your protection which insures consistency in materials and processes.
