UIAA Rock Anchors & Bolts

[justin]

In recent years, the UIAA has dedicated significant investment, some 200,000 euros and counting, and resources to research related to rock anchors and bolts. Initially, this centred around the subject of corrosion and stress corrosion cracking failure. A significant milestone was reached when the updated UIAA Rock Anchors Standard was released in 2020. However, work in this field remains significant. While new products – certified to Standard 123 – are now available on the Market, the challenge is ensuring both bolters and climbers are aware of the issues related to corrosion and the importance of using certified products.

If you are actively bolting (or wanting to bolt), this is worth checking out.
