UIAA and CE marks
These two marks assure that the mountaineering item on which they are carried is in compliance with legislation.
UIAA: The UIAA or Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme, (English: International Climbing and Mountaineering Organisation) is a worldwide organization that plays an important role in regulating safety standards for equipment used in climbing.
Afterwards CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, has acknowledged almost all of the UIAA regulations; compulsory minimum standards are recognized in all the European Union: the CE marking is a mandatory European marking to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives.
