GRILLON LANYARD
1. Known product history
Any PPE showing unexpected degradation should be quarantined, pending a detailed inspection.
The user should:
- Provide precise information on the usage conditions. - Report any exceptional event regarding his PPE. (Examples: fall or fall arrest, use or storage at extreme temperatures, modification outside manufacturer's facilities...).
2. Preliminary observations
Verify the presence and legibility of the serial number and the CE mark. Attention, the serial number code on our products is evolving. Two types of code will coexist. See below for details on each serial number code. Code A: Code B:
00 000 AA 0000 00 A 0000000 000
Year of manufacture Year of manufacture Day of manufacture Month of manufacture Name of Inspector Batch number Incrementation Incrementation
Verify that the product lifetime has not been exceeded.
Compare with a new product to verify there are no modifications or missing parts. Note: in the case of the GRILLON lanyard, there are two serial numbers (one on the rope and one on the metal part).
3. Checking the lanyard ends
• Remove the lanyard connector (if possible).
• Check the condition of the protective sheaths (cracks, deformation...). If possible, move the sleeve to check the condition of the safety stitching. Check the condition of the safety stitching on both sides. Look for any threads that are loose, worn, or cut.
