Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.

UK Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

Tough, capable and relatively light, the Beast is well worth a look if you're in the market for some all-round technical crampons for ice and mixed climbing, alpine days or Scottish winter. It's broadly comparable to popular models from brands with more of a presence in the UK crampon market, but the Beast is arguably more than averagely versatile, offering not only twin and monopoint, but also three different front bindings for the price of just one pair of crampons. They've been my crampon of choice this season, and probably will be again next year. If only those replacement front points weren't so expensive...

The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
