17.3.7 Manufacturer’s Certificate, Statement of Conformity / Test Certificate

Roundslings are not subject to proof load testing, as this could be detrimental to the sling and will not reveal any additional information. They are however subject to strength tests made on representative slings during manufacture. A manufacturer’s certificate or statement of conformity is supplied with each roundsling. This confirms compliance with the manufacturing standard and certifies that such manufacturing and sampling tests as are required have been completed. In the case of slings with integral fittings, this will also contain details of the verification of the fittings.
