Missing certification
Incomplete, expired or unavailable records can make it difficult to confirm whether an anchor is approved for current use.
Roof anchor testing assesses permanent anchor points used for rope access, fall protection and building maintenance. Inspection and testing help building managers identify deterioration, damage or compliance issues before the system is used.
Testing frequency depends on the anchor system, its intended use, the building environment, manufacturer requirements, previous certification records and applicable standards. A competent provider should review the system and recommend an appropriate testing schedule.
The process may include visual inspection of the anchor points, fixings and surrounding substrate, identification checks, load testing where required, documentation of defects and preparation of an inspection or certification report.
An anchor that does not meet the required condition or performance criteria should not be treated as approved for use. Depending on the findings, it may need repair, replacement, further engineering assessment or an upgrade to the access system.
