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.

We had a fundraiser at a local brewery and bought some steel biners, with small pins to keep the biners from shifting, which risks cross loading, but all of these biners had pins you had to hammer in. The problem with these is that once the biner is worn through, it’s difficult to remove it from the chain. Was there a solution to this simple, yet annoying problem?
The answer is the Climb Tech steel biner with captive pin. These biners are basically the same as the previous mentioned ones, except they have an easily removable pin. All you need to install and remove the pin is a small 2mm Allen wrench. These biners are also super smooth to clip, which is not always the case with steel biners.
