cromox® stainless steel swivel eye bolts - PPE anchor points -
Quality at the highest level
cromox® stainless steel swivel eye bolts - PPE anchor points - meet the highest safety requirements
Anchor points used in personal protective equipment (PPE) must meet the highest safety requirements. These anchor points protect one or more people working at great heights. This can include cleaning, assembly or rescue work. The PPE anchor points must be installed in suitable attachment points. We offer rotating eye bolts as PPE anchor points, which are threaded for installation in a corresponding mating thread. The stainless steel PPE anchor points from cromox® are made from high-quality, tested materials. They meet the requirements of DIN EN 795:2012 and the regulations of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). The ring body and the screw part are 100% crack-tested.
Like all cromox® products, the corrosion-resistant PPE anchor points are characterized by their excellent quality. The reliability, durability and load-bearing capacity of these stainless steel anchor points prove themselves particularly under aggressive environmental influences. In this selection, we present rotating eye bolts in various dimensions that can be used to secure a maximum of two or three people. Please refer to the individual descriptions for the exact technical specifications, e.g. size, weight and material. The metric threads of the eyebolts range from M12x22 to M16x200.


Standards and materials for PPE anchor points
DIN EN 795:2012 generally regulates the technical conditions and requirements for personal fall protection equipment in Germany and Europe. This includes the corresponding anchorage devices such as the anchor points offered here. It specifies how and by whom the respective certifications must be carried out and what loads the equipment must withstand. It also contains definitions that clarify when individual anchor points are considered temporary or permanently attached to the ground. It must be possible to remove temporary anchor points without leaving any residue after use. An implementing decision by the EU Commission from 2015 describes temporary anchor points in more detail. Anchor devices that are held in place by their own weight are considered movable anchors and fall under the PPE Directive 89/686/EEC.
The material for the swivel eye bolts as PPE anchor points
Like all stainless steel materials from the cromox® range, the PPE anchor points also meet all the requirements that should be placed on stainless steel. The material 1.4462 or AISI 318LN Duplex is an extremely high-quality duplex steel with the material number X2CrNiMoN22-5-3. Duplex stainless steels combine their austenitic-ferritic microstructure. The ferrite and austenite phases achieve high strength and resistance to stress cracking. The addition of molybdenum increases corrosion resistance to aqueous solutions and acids. The material proves to be less susceptible to pitting and has good resistance to both high and low temperatures. The nitrogen content in the AISI 318LN variant improves both strength and weldability.
This type of stainless steel is particularly valued for its corrosion resistance, even in aggressive environments. The material is used in the relevant industrial sectors such as the chemical industry, the oil and gas industry, as well as the food, construction and offshore industries. The PPE lifting points comply with grade 60, which is defined by certain requirements for stainless steel products. In lifting technology, for example, grade 60 is used for stainless steel lifting chains, hooks, load hooks, shackles and anchor points. These products are characterized by their high safety standards. However, products that are used for personal protective equipment may not be used for lifting loads. Ketten-Wälder tests the cromox® products in its own Lloyd's-certified test laboratory.
