Please note that the peak season is coming, and Amazon will start to strictly check the certification of carabiner. Sellers who have not done so should make arrangements as soon as possible. Now let’s understand the content and process of this certification.

A carabiner is a metal ring with a snap buckle used to quickly and reversibly connect components when climbing and mountaineering, and is part of a safety-critical system. Carabiner can be used to secure ropes to equipment, or to connect two or more pieces of equipment together. They are usually made of aluminum or steel. The latches are available in different shapes (D-shaped, asymmetrical D-shaped and oval-shaped latches) and can be in locking or non-locking form.
