Stop using Braided Safety Blue® with slaice®, Arbor Elite with slaice® and pottsblitz with slaice®, CEclimb 12 with slaice®!

TEUFELBERGER was informed of an incident where one slaice on a Braided Safety Blue opened while the rope was in use. Nobody was harmed.

As a measure of precaution we decided to immediately inform our customers to stop using Braided Safety Blue® with slaice®, Arbor Elite with slaice®, pottsblitz with slaice® and CEclimb 12 with slaice®.

What to do?

  1. Retire slaice® from use! Mark clearly and unambiguously as “not for use”!

  2. Cut off the slaice by 50 cm minimum

  3. You may continue using your rope with a figure-8-knot instead. Mind the course of the load bearing rope section (see PDF). Deviating knot design considerably reduce the breaking load. You are not allowed to make any other termination!

  4. If possible in the intended application, label the rope end with the following information that you will find on the existing label:
    - Type A, diameter in mm, number of the standard (EN 1891) year of manufacture (at least the last two digits), manufacturer, batch no.

  5. If usage with figure-8-knot is not possible we offer the following two options:
