12.4 Permits and conformance
Manufacturer: ABS Peter Aschauer GmbH
Country of origin: Germany
Type: ABS Avalanche Airbag System
The nature of the materials and the kind of workmanship used
for the development of the ABS Avalanche Airbag System are
based on the standard values of comparable usage require-
ments. These standard values form the requirement profile for
the material and operating tests conducted by TÜV Süd Product
Service GmbH within the Federal Consumer Product Safety Act,
according to PPE directive 89/686 EWG as well as the CE guide-
lines. Yet during an avalanche incident there could be forces
and circumstances, which will exceed these standard values.
We would therefore explicitly point out that the ABS Avalanche
Airbag System in its entirety and in parts (airbag material,
attachments, backpack, etc.) cannot withstand all possible
demands which will arise during an avalanche incident.
