Testing and Recertification
All fall protection systems must be tested and carry a test certificate to comply with UK legislation.
All fall protection systems including eye bolts and single point anchors used for the purpose of fall protection, fall arrest and restraint, must be tested and carry a test certificate to comply with UK legislation.
These procedures are often known as eye bolt testing, safety eye bolt testing, safety system testing and recertification.
Following initial installation, the system(s) must be commissioned and annually inspected and tested by a competent and qualified person to ensure it is in a safe working condition, in accordance with section 12 BS 7883: 2019 Personal Fall Protection Equipment – Anchor Systems – System Design, Installation and Inspection – Code of Practice. If the certification for your system(s) does expire, it is the responsibility of the equipment duty holder to ensure that no one is allowed to use the system(s).
