An assessment should be carried out before each job to select the most appropriate equipment to be used. Where the suitability of a piece of equipment is unknown, it should be thoroughly evaluated and/or tested before it is used. Rope access equipment should be selected only for its intended purpose as specified by the manufacturer. If equipment is to be used for other applications, confirmation should be obtained from the manufacturer that it is acceptable to do so and any caveats should be taken into account. The assessment should also pay special attention to the probability and consequences of misuse of equipment, taking into account any known incidents, e.g. as detailed in IRATA International safety bulletins. The selection and purchase of equipment should be carried out by, or approved by, a competent person, who has sufficient knowledge of the technical specifications required.2.7.1.2Legal requirements
