      <title><![CDATA[New Product Launch - 3M Flat Fold Particulate Respirator 9542V, P2, with Nuisance Level Organic Vapour Relief with valve]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/new-product-launch-3m-flat-fold-particulate-respirator-9542v-p2-with-nuisance-level-organic-vapour-relief-with-valve/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2021-01/9542V_Wearer_Image.jpg" width="100%" />As you know, 3M discontinued the 3M Flat Fold Particulate Respirator 9542A, P2, with Nuisance Level* Organic Vapour Relief in 2020.&nbsp;The newly launched 9542V has retained all the best features and benefits of the 9542A. Additionally, it has the 3M Cool Flow valve to effectively remove heat and moisture build-up and provide a cooler and more comfortable wear. The 3M Cool Flow valve also removes exhaled air and minimises the risk of fogging up eyewear.</p>
<p>Some of the features and benefits found in the 9542V Respirator:</p>
<ul>
<li>Robust Shell and Cup Design</li>
<ul>
<li>Deep loading, cake resistant, flame retardant media</li>
<li>Conforms well to most face shapes and sizes</li>
<li>Resistant to collapse</li>
</ul>
<li>3M Cool Flow Valve</li>
<ul>
<li>Effective removal of heat and moisture build-up provides a cooler and more comfortable wear</li>
<li>Removes exhaled air and minimises risk of misting eyewear</li>
</ul>
<li>Activated Carbon layer</li>
<ul>
<li>An additional activated carbon layer to filter out ozone and nuisance levels* of organic vapour</li>
<li>Nuisance levels are those levels below the Safe Work Australia Exposure Standards</li>
</ul>
<li>3M High Performance Filter Media</li>
<ul>
<li>Effective filtration combined with low breathing resistance</li>
<li>Consistent high-quality performance</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h2>Certified to AS/NZ 1716 standard</h2>
<p>The alternative respirators 9542V (new), 9923V, 8577 and 8247 listed below can be used in all applications that the 9542A was used for &ndash; provided a P2 rated respirator is required for that application. e.g. diesel particulate matter and unburned fuel vapour. If a respirator with GP1 rating is applicable, the 9913V is a suggested alternative.</p>

      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/honeywell-filters-cartridges-legacy-north-as-nzs/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This range of Honeywell filters suit the legacy&nbsp;North half face and full face masks, including the 5500 &amp; 7700 series half masks and the 7600 series full face mask.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features</strong></p>
<div class="padded">
<p>Filters are available with suitable ratings&nbsp;to protect against a wide range of contaminants including:</p>
<ul>
<li>P = Particulates</li>
<li>A = Organic Vapours</li>
<li>B = Acid Gases</li>
<li>E = Sulphur Dioxide</li>
<li>K = Ammonia</li>
<li>HG - Mercury</li>
</ul>

<div class="padded">North</div>
<div class="padded"></div>
<div class="padded"><strong>Life Expectancy</strong></div>
<div class="padded"></div>
<div class="padded">It is impossible to give an exact life expectancy on a filter cartridge for a respirator. This is because the filter life depends on a number of variable factors including the wearers breathing rate, the characteristics and level of the contaminant, the length of time a user is exposed to a contaminant and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity which could also effect the wearers breathing rate. Saturated or used filter cartridges will leak trace amounts of contaminants to the wearer, which may be detected via odour, taste, and/or irritation &ndash; If a contaminant can be detected by any of these means by a user, then filter cartridges should be changed immediately.</div>
<div class="padded"></div>
<div class="padded"></div>
<div class="padded"><strong>Applications</strong></div>
<div class="padded"></div>
<div class="padded">These filters have been designed to protect workers against a wide range of contaminants including organic gases and vapours, acid gases, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia and particulates including dusts and mists.</div>

<p>Protecting workers takes more than just keeping them from falling. Their tools also need to be protected at height. That&rsquo;s why for over eight years, we&rsquo;ve been pioneering an innovative line of products and solutions to help prevent dropped tools and equipment. From construction sites to oil rigs, we help make work environments safer and more productive by protecting workers from hazards that can result in personal injury, equipment damage and tool loss.</p>

<h2>Spot Clean</h2>
<p>To spot clean Honeywell Miller&reg; belts, harnesses, and webbed lanyards,&nbsp;we recommend using a damp sponge or cloth along with a mild detergent&nbsp;that does not include bleach.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Complete Wash</h2>
<p>To wash Honeywell Miller belts, harnesses, and webbed lanyards in a commercial washing machine, we recommend the following procedure:</p>
<ul>
<li>A. Place products to be cleaned in mesh laundry bags to reduce the&nbsp;chances of abrasion, snagging, and entanglement that could cause&nbsp;damage to stitching or labels.</li>
<li>B. Wash in cold or warm water that does not exceed 135&deg;F (57&deg;C).</li>
<li>C. Use a mild soap or detergent that does not include bleach.</li>
<li>D. Wash on a regular wash and rinse cycle.</li>
<li>E. Remove items from mesh bags and hang freely to dry away from&nbsp;excessive heat, steam, or long periods of direct sunlight. Do not&nbsp;machine dry!&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2>Inspect products thoroughly before returning to service. See our Product Inspection Guide for reference.</h2>
<p>Note: Machine washing may cause fading and softening of the webbing&nbsp;and may reduce the useful service life of the product. Be sure to inspect&nbsp;your washed products thoroughly before use.</p>
<p><strong>We do not recommend that workers share Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)</strong>. It is recommended that each employee be provided their own set of PPE. Most equipment is fitted specifically for certain individuals and it is best if protection equipment is inspected before every use.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Easily estimate your clearance by Petzl]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/easily-estimate-your-clearance-by-petzl/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2 class="title800"><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/calcul-tirant-img-desk.jpg" style="float: right; width: 200px;" width="200" />What is clearance and how to optimize it?</h2>
<p class="text800">The risk of falling is a key concept to master when working at height. In this context, calculating the clearance for each specific work situation is vital to worksite safety. See below for the criteria required to calculate the clearance, and how to optimize it.</p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>What is clearance?</span></h3>
<p class="text800">Clearance is the minimum amount of clear space below the user that prevents the user from hitting an obstacle in case of a fall.<br />This minimum amount of clear space takes into account the length of the system, the tearing of the energy absorber, an average distance between the harness attachment point and the worker's feet (1.5 m) and a safety margin required by the standard (1 m).</p>
<p class="text900"><span>The clearance value varies depending on the work situation. The operator&rsquo;s position relative to the anchor, the length of the system and the operator&rsquo;s weight are the main factors in its determination.</span></p>
<p><img height="339" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/chute.png" width="242" /></p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>The role of the anchor&rsquo;s position</span></h3>
<p class="text900">To reduce the clearance, it is necessary to limit the tearing of the energy absorber. The tearing depends on the amount of energy to be absorbed, thus the length of the fall. In the field, it is advisable to always stay as far below the anchor as possible. If the situation requires the use of an anchor located below the user, choosing a lanyard that is as short as possible helps limit the potential fall distance.</p>
<h3 class="title500">BELOW THE ANCHOR</h3>
<p class="text900">The operator is below the anchor and the ABSORBICA lanyard is nearly taut. Clearance is reduced as the fall distance is low.</p>
<p><img height="233" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/facteur-2.png" width="176" /></p>
<h3 class="title500">AT ANCHOR LEVEL</h3>
<p class="text900">The anchor is at or slightly above the harness attachment point. If the operator falls, the fall distance is greater. So the clearance is greater.</p>
<p><img height="128" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/facteur-0.png" width="195" /></p>
<h3 class="title500">ABOVE THE ANCHOR</h3>
<p class="text900">The anchor is at or below the operator's feet. If the operator falls, the fall distance is twice the lanyard length and results in greater tearing of the absorber. The clearance is thus even higher than in the two preceding cases.</p>
<p><img height="212" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/facteur-1.png" width="168" /></p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>Optimize the system length</span></h3>
<p class="text800">The total system length (connectors + absorber + lanyard) determines the maximum fall distance and thus affects the clearance value. The choice of lanyard model can be adapted to each workstation, keeping in mind that choosing a lanyard that is as short as possible reduces the potential fall distance. The ABSORBICA VARIO lanyard is best for situations where it is necessary to adjust the length of your system.</p>
<p><img height="265" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-11/Images_Screen-video_1.gif" width="471" /></p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>Weight: an important factor</span></h3>
<p class="text800">Arresting the fall of a heavier user (with his/her equipment) means more energy that needs to be absorbed, so the absorber tear length is greater, which affects the clearance value. In fact, two operators placed in the same location relative to the anchor point but who differ in weight will have different clearances.</p>

<h2 class="text800">FAQ</h2>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>Are there other factors that can affect my clearance?</span></h3>
<p class="text100">Certain anchors can increase the potential fall distance (flexible lifeline, slanted anchor...)<br />The deployment of the fall-arrest attachment point on certain harnesses must also be considered in your clearance calculations.</p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>Is the clearance calculator useful for other products?</span></h3>
<p class="text100">No, this clearance calculator is applicable only to the current Petzl ABSORBICA line. (Products: L011AA00, L012AA00, L012CA00, L012BA00, L013AA01, L014AA01, L014CA01, L014BA01, L016AA00, L015BA00, L015AA00, L010AA00.)</p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>Can I remove the energy absorber to reduce the potential fall distance?</span></h3>
<p class="text100">No, the energy absorber helps reduce the impact force in case of a fall. Using a lanyard alone is a work positioning system and not a fall arrest system.</p>
<h3 class="faq__opener"><span>I have an old ABSORBICA model; how can I determine the associated clearance values?</span></h3>

      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/3m-notice-of-change-of-pack-size-for-9322a-and-9320a-disposable-respirators/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h1 class="x_MsoNormal"><strong><em><span>Frequently Asked Questions - Aura 9320A+ and 9322A+ Bulk Packs</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US"></span></h1>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">How are CPS and rebate programs going to be managed?</span></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The standard price per respirator and contract price arrangements per respirator remain unchanged regardless of the packaging.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">What does this mean with our existing orders for 9320A+ and 9322A+ in the system / When will we be supplied with those orders / When current boxes run out what happens to back orders?</span></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Stock delivered in June will have the standard box packaging. From July onwards, stock will be delivered in bulk packs.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">An email from the distributor confirming willingness to receive the new codes instead of the old codes would suffice to update backorders.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Alternatively, the backorders with old codes can be cancelled, and new orders can be placed using the new codes.</span></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal">Are all the back orders going to be consolidated and then shipped in new volumes?</h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For orders that would be supplied with 9320A+ or 9322A+ from July onwards, yes this can be done, provided the distributor confirms via email their willingness to receive the new codes</span></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal">What happens to distributors who have their end users wanting less than case quantities of 9322A+ or volumes that are not a multiple of 200 units?</h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The intention behind bulk packing is to increase productivity and release orders faster. However, this comes at a cost of ordering by the case unfortunately.</span></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal">How do distributors sell this product in less than carton QTY do they have the fitting instructions etc. on the packaging?</h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">According to the TGA they cannot be sold loose either by 3M Au or by 3M authorised distributors.</span></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Can distributors repackage into smaller volumes?</span></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Yes</span></p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal">Can distributors sell individual masks?</h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">As per TGA, neither 3M Australia nor 3M distributors would be able to sell individual units unless it comes with user instructions, 3M sponsor details, the required intended use, the product cat code, lot number and expiry.</p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal">Do you have any indication if this will be a permanent change considering the communication state effective July?</h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">No changes until further notice</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"></p>
<h1 class="x_MsoNormal"><strong><em><span>3M Aura 9320A+ and 9322A+ standard packs &ndash; update</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US"></span></h1>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Based on some customers feedback, a limited quantity of the 9322A+ (standard packs XA010017854 are on plan to be delivered in July.</p>
<h2 class="x_MsoNormal"><strong><em><span>Prioritization of stock</span><span></span></em></strong></h2>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span>We continue to focus on Healthcare with support for critical industrial and key industries.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span>The majority of our stock on hand is being released to Healthcare/Frontline HC workers dealing with Covid-19 and Govt/Hospitals and the remaining to Critical Infrastructure and existing DR customers in Industrial markets</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">DR Quantities and ETAs cannot be committed to customers because demand from frontline customers is being prioritised.</p>

<p><span>From Victoria&rsquo;s Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton.</span></p>
<p><span>To help slow the increase in transmission of coronavirus, people living in and visiting metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire are required to wear a face covering whenever they leave home. If you live outside metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire &ndash; we recommend you wear a face covering when it&rsquo;s difficult to keep 1.5 metres apart from others.</span></p>
<p><span>Face coverings provide an additional barrier to coronavirus.</span></p>
<p><span>The types of face coverings available include cloth masks and single-use face masks &ndash; commonly called surgical masks.</span></p>
<p><span>I recommend wearing a cloth face covering made of three layers of a mix of breathable fabrics to allow adequate protection. It doesn&rsquo;t need to be medical quality to be effective. Cloth face coverings can be washed and reused.</span></p>
<p><span>Cloth face coverings are also inexpensive, simple to make and easy to use. You can buy a cloth face covering or single-use masks from shops, including chemists and hardware stores, or you can follow our instructions on how to make your own cloth face covering. If a face mask is not available other forms of face covering may be used such as a scarf or bandana.</span></p>
<p><span>Make sure your face covering does not have holes or a valve. This can result in breathing out the virus if you have coronavirus.</span></p>
<p><span>Of course, when you are eating or drinking you can remove your face covering. If you are running or cycling you can remove your face covering if it makes breathing difficult - but please, have it with you to put on once you have finished.</span></p>
<p><span>When it comes to those aged 3 to 12, families should make their own decisions about whether their children should wear a face covering.</span></p>
<p><span>But little ones &ndash; those two and under &ndash; should never wear a mask.</span></p>
<p><span>Some further exemptions apply &ndash; visit this website for more details.</span></p>
<p><span>We also need to remember: a face covering on its own is not enough to slow the spread of coronavirus.</span></p>
<p><span>Protect yourself, your family and the community by maintaining a physical distance of 1.5 metres from others, washing or sanitising your hands regularly,coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow; and If you are unwell, you must get tested then stay home.</span></p>
<p><span>Remember, if you are in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire always wear your face covering when leaving home.</span></p>
<p><span>Stay safe.</span></p>

      <title><![CDATA[Australia Post Coronavirus Delays & Other Impacts]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/australia-post-coronavirus-delays-other-impacts/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h1 class="hc-heading"><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog-2020-04/australiapost_logo.jpg" style="float: right; width: 150px;" />Coronavirus impacts</h1>
<div class="hc-leader leader">
<p>Australia Post is currently experiencing delivery delays due to a high volume of parcels in their network.</p>
<p><strong>From their website:</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Delivery&nbsp;Delays</strong></h2>
<p><em>21 April 2020</em></p>
<p>There are delivery delays in our network due to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>reduction in air freight capacity and passenger flights (which also carry our parcels)</strong></li>
<li>a significant increase in parcels that require manual sorting</li>
<li>health &amp; safety measures at our facilities (such as social distancing through zoning, dedicated shift start times to reduce cross over of workers)</li>
</ul>
<p>These delays can be up to a few days, particularly to regional and rural communities, and mean that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Priority Mail services may be suspended</li>
<li>the delivery time for Perth and Brisbane may increase by up to five days</li>
<li>the delivery time for North Queensland may increase by up to seven days</li>
<li>the delivery times for Tasmania may increase by three days</li>
<li>Next Day Express Post Services into regional and rural communities may not be able to be maintained</li>
</ul>
<p>What we're doing</p>
<ul>
<li>moving more parcels through our road network (to accommodate domestic flight restrictions)</li>
<li>exploring all available transport alternatives and options, and working with the Australian Government, to minimise impacts for customers</li>
</ul>
<p>In some cases, we're having to process and deliver from an alternate location and customers may notice when tracking their parcel, that it is coming from a different location to what they are used to.</p>
<p>Use our&nbsp;<a href="https://auspost.com.au/track">tracking tool</a>&nbsp;to keep up to date with estimated delivery times.</p>
<p>Our people continue to work tirelessly under difficult circumstances, so we&rsquo;re asking everyone to be kind and treat our dedicated people with the courtesy and respect they deserve &ndash; whether it be in a call centre, Post Office or dropping your delivery off.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Express Post guarantee temporarily suspended</strong></h2>
<p><em>17 April 2020</em></p>
<p>Effective 20 April 2020, we're temporarily suspending the Express Post guarantee of a refund and replacement envelope or satchel for articles that don&rsquo;t meet the next business day delivery standard</p>
<p>Express Post is still available</p>
<p>Our Express Post service will continue to be our fastest postal delivery option for our customers &ndash; and we'll continue to prioritise these deliveries. They just may not be delivered next business day every time.</p>
<p>This change is due to delays to our delivery services caused by the ongoing impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>a significant increase in parcels that require manual sorting</li>
<li>social distancing measures in place at our facilities, which mean we can&rsquo;t process items as quickly as usual</li>
<li>a significant reduction in the availability of passenger flights &ndash; which, in addition to our dedicated overnight airfreight network, also carry our parcels</li>
</ul>
<p>The temporary removal of the Express Post guarantee is not intended to impact any rights that customers may have under the Australian Consumer Law.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[COVID-19: 3M Product Availability Update]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/covid-19-3m-product-availability-update/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2><img height="50" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/3m-logo.jpg" style="float: right;" width="150" />European Union Export Restrictions and 3M Product Availability Update re: 2019 Novel Coronavirus and COVID-19</h2>
<p>Dear Valued Customer,</p>
<p>On March 15th, the European Union introduced export authorization requirements for exports of certain Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) outside of the European Union in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The regulation is (EU) 2020/402 and is initially effective for a six-week period but could be extended. This regulation will be enacted by each country&rsquo;s customs authority which will establish a process for receiving export licenses from EU to other countries.</p>
<p>This new regulation will likely impact 3M&rsquo;s ability to supply certain Personal Protective Equipment sourced from our manufacturing operations in the European Union to customers in non-European Union countries.</p>
<p>[Please note that 3M Australia &amp; 3M New Zealand have multiple sources of supply and therefore not all products from these categories will be impacted by the regulation].</p>
<p>This regulation affects the following PPE Categories from 3M:</p>
<ul>
<li>Filtering Facepiece Respirators</li>
<li>Reusable Respirators</li>
<li>Powered and Supplied Air Respirators</li>
<li>Head and Face Protection</li>
<li>Hearing Protection</li>
<li>Protective Communications</li>
</ul>
<p>This decision by the European Union will impact 3M&rsquo;s ability to deliver these products until the regulation expires, an export authorization is granted, or the products are removed from the affected list. We are looking at other supply options where possible, but in many cases this will not be feasible. For certain applications, alternative products may be suitable. Our Application Engineering team via the 3M Tech Assist line at 1800 024 464 can assist you in your evaluation of such alternatives.</p>
<p>3M continues to be committed to supporting the public health and government response to the coronavirus outbreak. We are managing this situation with a global team across multiple continents and supply chains around the world. In response to the coronavirus, 3M has increased the production of Personal Protective Equipment at manufacturing facilities globally.</p>
<p>3M is in daily contact with our customers and we remain committed to open and honest communications during this dynamic situation. If you have questions, please contact your assigned 3M representative.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Chris LeBlanc<br />Managing Director Australia &amp; New Zealand<br />General Manager Safety and Industrial Business Group</p>

      <title><![CDATA[CE Markings on PPE]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/ce-markings-on-ppe/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Is the CE marking mandatory? In Europe, all products covered by a European regulatory text (a regulation or directive) must bear the CE (European Conformity) marking. For personal protective equipment, EU regulation 2016/425 (formerly the 89/686/EC directive) regulates the manufacture and marketing of fall protection PPE.</p>
<h2>Difference between a directive and a regulation</h2>
<p>A regulation is a Community law that applies to all member states in the European Union. It is directly applicable as written. A directive must be implemented by the member state itself. In other words, it is transcribed. This means that the state is free to choose the means by which it will implement the law. It must implement the directive by a certain deadline.</p>
<h2>What is the purpose of the CE marking?</h2>
<p>The CE marking reflects the manufacturer's commitment to comply with European legislation and is mandatory for placing a product on the common market. It does not mean that the product comes from the European Union. It allows the product to be marketed and sold anywhere within the EU.</p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/news-carte.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<h2>How do PPE manufacturers obtain the right to place the CE marking on their products?</h2>
<p>To obtain a CE marking, PPE are required to meet the essential health and safety requirements of EU regulation 2016/425.<br />These requirements cover such aspects of the product as ergonomics, comfort, safety, weight, and strength, although they do not provide any specific values. Only the various &lsquo;harmonized&rsquo; standards define with greater precision any construction and performance requirements, as well as the information/markings that must accompany the product. Each standard covers a well-defined field of application.</p>
<p><em>A harmonized standard is a standard that can provide a presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements of EU regulation 2016/425.</em></p>
<h2>There are two cases for PPE:</h2>
<p><strong>CASE 1</strong></p>
<p>PPE with a field of application that is covered by one or more existing harmonized standards.</p>
<p><strong>CASE 2</strong></p>
<p>PPE with characteristics or a field of application not covered by any standard.</p>
<p>In both cases, the manufacturer engages an independent notified body to conduct an EU type assessment. It is this assessment that provides authorization to use the CE marking.</p>
<h2>What is an EU type assessment?</h2>
<p>The EU type assessment is the part of the conformity evaluation procedure where a notified body assesses the&nbsp;PPE 's technical design to verify and attest that it meets the requirements for all current applicable regulations.</p>
<h3>CASE 1</h3>
<p>The PPE meets existing standards.</p>
<p>The EU type assessment is based on compliance with the&nbsp;standards requirements the product claims to meet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;<img height="386" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/harnais3.jpg" width="200" /><br /><em>AVAO BOD FAST international version:<br />Fall arrest, work positioning, and suspension harness (EN 361, EN 358, EN 813).</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<h3>CASE 2</h3>
<p>The PPE does not meet (or only partially meets) a harmonized standard.<br />This can happen, for example, when a product targets a new use not yet covered by existing standards, or if the product&rsquo;s features are covered by several different standards without full compliance with any single standard. The manufacturer then submits technical specifications to the notified body to define the specific requirements (e.g. tests or technical information) either within or outside existing standards. It is the notified body that examines and approves the technical specifications.</p>
<p>The EU type assessment is based on compliance with the essential health and safety requirements of EU regulation 2016/425 as well as specific requirements approved by the notified body.</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img height="347" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/ZIGZAG2.jpg" width="300" /><br /><em>ZIGZAG: mechanical Prusik for tree care.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is no existing standard that covers a device like the ZIGZAG. The ZIGZAG&rsquo;s functions simultaneously address the standards for rope clamps and for descenders, with the specificity of using a doubled rope.</p>
<p>These devices are covered by EN standard 12841, which defines three types:</p>
<ul>
<li>Type A for backup belay devices,</li>
<li>Type B for rope clamps,</li>
<li>Type C for descenders.</li>
</ul>
<p>To approve the ZIGZAG, the notified body in charge of certification decided to use the most relevant test protocols for types B and C as defined by this standard.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Function and strength tests from EN&nbsp;standard 12841:2006 performed for ZIGZAG certification:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All tests were carried out in doubled rope configuration in accordance with the recommendations desciribed in detail in the product's Instructions for Use, using two different ropes of the minimum and maximum diameters as indicated on the device (EN 1891 type A rope, 11.5 mm and 13 mm).</li>
<li>Function tests after exposure to moisture, heat (+50&deg; C), and cold (-30&deg; C) (requirement: less than 300 mm of device slippage on the rope).</li>
<li>Tests for locking onto the rope (type C devices) for 3 minutes under a 3 kN load (requirement: less than 300 mm of device slippage on the rope).</li>
<li>Tests for static strength (type C devices) (12 kN strength requirement, increased to 15 kN for the ZIGZAG).</li>
<li>Drop tests for dynamic performance (type B and C devices): drop a 140 kg mass 1 meter on 1 meter of rope + 1 meter dynamic lanyard (requirement: the mass is not released + measure residual strength under 3 kN for 3 minutes).</li>
<li>Test the ability to keep the speed of descent under 2 m/s without damaging the rope (type C devices); test conducted for 100 kg and 140 kg.</li>
<li>Measure temperature increase of metal parts while lowering a mass (type C devices) (no parts in contact with the user heated to more than 48&deg;C &ndash; see the Instructions for Use for more information).</li>
</ul>
<p>(Note: certification tests are conducted by the independent laboratory of a notified body, which issues an EU type assessment certificate. During product development, Petzl conducted several tests on its own.)</p>

      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/discover-the-new-ex-and-il-lights-from-ledlenser/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2>With us, the jobs are safe. At least when it comes to the light.</h2>
<p>Anyone who works in potentially explosive environments must pay attention to safety when working with electronic devices.</p>
<p>The lights of the new Ledlenser EX and iL series fulfil both Ex and IECEx standards in every respect. Specially designed for contact with explosive gases, vapours and dust in the best possible IIC and IIIC groups.</p>
<p>They are both optimally impervious to dust and water and are certified in accordance with the Ex &amp; IECEx directives.</p>
<p>The two series are thereby organised for different situations of explosion hazards. The EX series is suitable for use in working areas of Zone 0/20 &amp; Zone 1/21 (rechargeable EX models only) and the iL series for use in working areas of Zone 2/22.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<h2>Premium comfort, durable, easy-to-clean 3M&trade; Ultimate FX Full Facepiece Respirator FF-400</h2>
<p>Engineered for maximum comfort, durability and visibility, the Ultimate FX FF-400 is the only respirator with Scotchgard&trade; Protector. This respirator features soft yet durable, silicone material and a large lens for superior peripheral vision.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img height="267" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/_MG_6548_P.jpg" width="400" /></p>
<p>The 3M&trade; Ultimate FX Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator FF-400 Series helps provide protection against certain airborne contaminants while keeping your vision clear with the Scotchgard&trade; protected lens. Scotchgard&trade; protection makes it possible to wipe paints, stains and other liquids off the large lens. Versatile&mdash;use with 3M particulate filters, gas/vapor cartridges and supplied air systems. The 3M&trade; Cool Flow &trade; Valve helps make breathing easier. Passive speaking diaphragm enhances communications, making it possible to be understood when talking. These features combine to make extended wear of the facepiece more comfortable and practical to use while helping to provide protection against certain airborne contaminants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/3m-ultimate-fx-full-facepiece-reusable-respirator-ff-403_2_.jpg" style="height: 200px;" /><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/3m-ultimate-fx-full-facepiece-reusable-respirator-ff-403.jpg" style="height: 200px;" /><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/3m-ultimate-fx-full-facepiece-reusable-respirator-ff-403_1_.jpg" style="height: 200px;" /></p>
<p>A number of additional comfort and convenience features have been built into the facepiece, including a head cradle to reduce pressure points and hair pulling, a soft silicone nose cup and faceseal to cushion heavy contact areas, bonded silicone gaskets to prevent loose gaskets from getting lost, and attachments that easily twist on and off. The facepiece fits securely with six straps that snugly wrap around the head, eliminating shifting that can distract on the job and require frequent readjustment. The straps are extremely durable, having been tested with over one million pulls. Recommended applications include assembly , chemical clean-up, chemical handling, chemical splash, chipping, chiseling, cleaning, furnace operations, grinding, laboratories, machining, masonry, painting, pouring/casting, sanding, sawing, and welding. Industries in which this facepiece are commonly used include agriculture, construction, general manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and primary metals.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Petzl ASTRO Safety Harness - International vs Australian/European]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/differences-petzl-astro-international-australian-european/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="post-title">
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Source:&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.abaris.co.uk/news/petzl-astro-bod-fast/" target="_blank"><span>Abaris International UK</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">The new International version of the Petzl ASTRO Bod Fast harness will be available from our stores from October 2019. There are a number of differences between the International and the Australian versions. We've collated the relevant information and have highlighted the differences:</span></p>
</div>
<div class="post-body">
<h2>Differences between the Petzl ASTRO International and Australian versions</h2>
<h3>Releasable shoulder buckle and lanyard parking points</h3>
<ul>
<li>The addition of the releasable shoulder buckle on the International version of the Petzl ASTRO is a useful addition</li>
<li>The doubleback buckle on the right-hand side (while wearing) is different to the Australian version</li>
<li>Lanyard parking points have been included; a parked lanyard connector will release with a 5kg force (0.05kN)</li>
</ul>
<img alt="Petzl C083ba_astro_bod International" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/c083ba_astro_bod_f-6_preview.jpg" />
<p>C083BA0x International showing shoulder buckle and lanyard parking points</p>
<h3>Fall indicator on dorsal attachment point</h3>
<p>The International version of the Petzl ASTRO includes a fall indicator on the dorsal attachment point which means it conforms to the relevant ANSI Standard.</p>
<img alt="Petzl C083ba_astro_bod International" src="/media/wysiwyg/blog2019/c083ba_astro_bod_f-7_preview.jpg" />
<p>C083BA0x International showing fall indicator on dorsal attachment point</p>
<h3>Ventral attachment point</h3>
<p>The Australian version of the Petzl ASTRO ventral attachment point cannot be used on the International version, again, because of the AU/NZS Standards. The International version does not therefore offer the facility to captivate progress lanyards on the central bar of the ventral attachment point. It does however still offer the ability to connect the Petzl PODIUM to the ends of the bar, using either the shackle accessories (<a href="https://heightechsafety.com.au/petzl-shackles-for-podium-seat-pack-of-2-c087aa00.html"><span>C087AA00</span></a>) or using two Petzl Sm&rsquo;D&rsquo;s (<span><a href="https://heightechsafety.com.au/petzl-sm-d-ultra-light-asymmetrical-triact-lock-carabiner-m39atl.html">M39ATL</a></span>)</p>

<h3><span style="font-size: 1.17em;">Lateral attachment points</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>The two lateral attachment points are conventional metal construction (rather than the plastic inserts of the Australian version)</li>
<li>This means they can be folded back out of the way when not in use</li>
<li>There is a saving on weight due to the H-profile (cross-section) construction</li>

<h3>Wider webbing from the leg loops to the waist-belt</h3>
<p>The webbing from the leg loops to the waist-belt is wider than the Australian version because the webbing needs to be folded in order to fit onto the central bar of the ventral attachment point.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Petzl ASAP and ASAP LOCK Changes for 2019]]></title>
      <link>https://campingstuff.com.au/blog/petzl-asap-and-asap-lock-changes-for-2019/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>To comply with new European PPE regulations, PETZL revamped the entire ASAP, ASAP LOCK, and ASAP&rsquo;SORBER line for recertification in spring 2019. For the most part, each device looks the same, but several changes were made in rope, connector, and energy absorber compatibility.</p>
<h2>Simplifying the ASAP line</h2>
<p>Through 2019, there were two ASAP models, one only CE certified and sold with an OK TL, and the other both CE and ANSI certified and sold with an OXAN TL.</p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP03-EN.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Starting in June 2019, the two models will merge into one and be sold without a connector.</p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP05-EN.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p><br /><strong><em>The ASAP is still compatible with the OK TL (M33A TL) and OXAN TLA (M72A TLA) connectors.<br />The ASAP LOCK remains unchanged</em><em>.</em></strong></p>
<h2>Simplifying the ASAP&rsquo;SORBER line</h2>
<p>Through June 2019, the ASAP&rsquo;SORBER line included five models:</p>
<ul>
<li>The ASAP&rsquo;SORBER 20 and 40, both EN 355 certified,</li>
<li>The ASAP&rsquo;SORBER 20 and 40 international version, both ANSI Z359.13 certified, and also EN 12841 and EN 353-2 certified when part of the ASAP and ASAP LOCK systems.</li>
<li>ASAP&rsquo;SORBER AXESS, ANSI Z359.13 certified, and also EN 12841 and EN 353-2 certified when part of the ASAP and ASAP LOCK systems.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP01-EN.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Starting in July 2019, the line will include just three models, making certification much easier to understand:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The ASAP&rsquo;SORBER 20 and 40 (physically identical to the prior international version),</li>
<li>The ASAP&rsquo;SORBER AXESS (physically identical to the prior international version).&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>Both are EN 355 and ANSI Z359.13 certified.<br />The ASAP&rsquo;SORBER AXESS remains the only model designed specifically for rescue with a capacity up to 250kg.&nbsp;<strong>The CAPTIV is no longer delivered with the ASAP&rsquo;SORBER. Please note: for compliance with ANSI Z359.13, you need to use the CAPTIV.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP02-EN.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p><br /><strong>The old ASAP and ASAP LOCK models are compatible with the ASAP&rsquo;SORBER that will be sold starting in July 2019. However, when used together, the system will not be certified.</strong></p>
<h2>Adding the Bm&rsquo;D to ASAP compatibility as part of ANSI Z359.15</h2>
<p>In addition to the OXAN TLA, the Bm&rsquo;D TLU can now be used with the ASAP in compliance with ANSI Z359.15 certification.</p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP05.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<h2>New ASAP&rsquo;AXIS rope compatible with the ASAP and ASAP LOCK as part of EN 353-2</h2>
<p>The new PPE regulation requires manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with the change in standards. This is the case for EN 353-2, which now requires more stringent testing: all fall-arrest devices used with a detachable energy absorber, like the ASAP, need to pass the tests with or without an energy absorber (impact force &lt; 6kN).</p>
<p>Petzl therefore decided to develop a rope with an integrated energy absorber on the end that is clipped to the anchor: the ASAP'AXIS.</p>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-ASAP06.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>The ASAP'AXIS can be used with an ASAP&rsquo;SORBER energy absorber on the ASAP and ASAP LOCK.</p>
<h3><br />ASAP&nbsp;EN 353-2 certification</h3>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-news-ASAP05.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Only the ASAP&rsquo;AXIS rope is compatible with the ASAP as part of EN 353-2.</p>
<h3>ASAP LOCK&nbsp;EN 353-2 certification</h3>
<p><img src="/media/wysiwyg/blog/blog-news-ASAP06.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Like other Petzl semi-static ropes, the ASAP&rsquo;AXIS is EN1891 certified. It can theoretically be used with descenders such as the I&rsquo;D or RIG, and rope clamps like the ASCENSION or BASIC&hellip; However, for this type of use a high impact fall may activate the energy absorber, requiring the rope to be prematurely retired.</p>
<p></p>
