Standards

We want to make it easier for you to choose the best when you go up into the mountains. Therefore we have developed different sets of UIAA standards for organisers and producers. This way you can make sure that your mountaineering equipment has passed safety tests and that a guidebook is easy to use. Or you can check that the company which arranges your expedition is environmentally friendly or the organisers of your climbing course are up to international standards. Look for the UIAA logos!
