As in an industry oversight, the height safety industry is “unregulated”. Allowing manufacturers, installers & resellers to go “unchecked” With no governing body taking ownership or responsibility of manufacturers, installers, resellers product compliance. This is simply because the refrenced related standards in the falls code are not marked part of legislation. This has continued to contribute to all the seroius injuries & fatalities related to falls from heights. 2024 needs better legislation, compliance checks, regulation in the intrest of public safety. For easy reference here are the refrenced standards with no legislative law. Making the height safety industry unregulated.

CECRA present at CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers ‘ #aftermarket conference in the panel discussion about « Technical evolution ahead- How to maintain a level playing field for vehicle repairs » Mark Nicklas European Commission : ECJ (European Court of Justice) went quite far in it’s decision #Belron #ATU. The EC will discuss possible solutions in the coming weeks with all stakeholders including type approval authorities which could address some of the problems within the framework of #858Regulation. Security is important but shouldn’t be used as an excuse to restrict competition in the aftermarket. Jan-Willem van der Linden CECRA -BOVAG : the right to repair legislation exists but we need enforcement. There is a need for sector specific legislation (SSL) as not everything can be covered via the adaptation of the 858. Laurianne Krid Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Region I : ECJ gave clear signals and FiA was hoping such a decision but a step more is needed via a SSL. 100% security doesn’t exist and cars can be hacked. But OEMs have to respect a correct balance. Jeremy Smith Belron® : Full authorization process is not needed; this can be practically difficult in the workshops. Authentification is possible. #AMCON2024
