Eyebolt & Roof Anchor Testing
Eyebolts have a wide range of uses, including merchandising and lighting to rope access maintenance and window cleaning, so it’s important that they comply with UK regulations and legislative guidelines.
Eyebolts and other single anchor points should be tested at least once a year (once every 6 months if Class A). If your systems have not been tested within these timeframes, they need to be marked as “do not use” as they may not be compliant.
Testing standards
- BS EN 795
- BS EN 7883
