Safety certification for fall protection systems: Ü mark as standard
In today’s construction industry, ensuring safety when working at height is of paramount importance. With this in mind LUX-top® has been actively committed to establishing the certification of fall protection systems by the German Institute for Building Technology (DiBt) as a binding standard from the outset. This initiative makes a significant contribution to increasing safety in potentially dangerous work areas and strengthening user confidence in the products used.
What is the Ü symbol?
The Ü mark is a key feature for products used in the construction industry. It stands for the general building authority approval (abZ) and indicates that a product meets the strict requirements for safety and quality. This mark is awarded by the DiBt, which checks the conformity of the products with the applicable regulations. This certification is a sign of confidence for construction companies and craftsmen working in high-risk environments.
Why is the Ü symbol important?
- Safety guarantee: The Ü mark guarantees that the products have undergone strict safety tests. This is particularly important in areas where fall protection systems are essential to prevent serious accidents and injuries.
- Legal safety: Products with the Ü mark comply with the applicable German building regulations. The use of such products minimizes the legal risk for companies that use them in their projects.
- Proof of quality: The Ü mark not only serves as a safety certificate, but also as proof of the quality of the materials used and the manufacturing processes. This gives customers the certainty that they are purchasing high-quality products.
The general building authority approval (abZ)
The general building approval (abZ) is the leading proof of usability for construction products in Germany and has been issued by the DiBt since 1968. This approval is of central importance for products that do not meet specific standards. The abZ ensures that the product is safe and reliable in practice.
Requirements for the abZ
In order to obtain general building approval, products must meet a large number of requirements:
- Technical tests: Products must pass extensive technical tests to verify their safety and functional properties.
- Documentation: Manufacturers must provide comprehensive documentation that proves the usability and properties of their products.
- Regular inspections: Even after approval has been granted, the products are subject to regular inspections to ensure compliance with the specified standards.
