Equipment

See CSCC Anchor Placement Programme

All anchors should be checked before use. See Anchor Inspection & Usage

Anchors that do not meet the tests should be reported to the Equipment Officer via email. Please see previous reports and the outcomes.

Anchors in the CSCC region that are not listed below have not been placed by the CSCC.

To be part of the scheme the placement of anchors must be approved by the CSCC. CSCC makes available past proposals that have been declined. Inclusion in this list does not exclude them as being proposed again in the future.

The placement of anchors is on going. For more information see the list of approved placements.

If you come across a defective anchor please use the Defective Anchor Form

If you have a location that you believe needs anchors please use the New Anchor Request Form

If you are a CSCC Nominated Installer please complete the Anchor Installation Sheet for any anchors you install.
