For
your safety
Wichard
is certified ISO-9002/AQAP 120 in manufacturing. All materials are
carefully selected for strength and best performance in the marine
environment.
The catalog contains figures for information only on functional limits
and breaking loads.
- The functional limit is the maximum static load that the product can
endure during use, without deforming. The product will no longer
function beyond this load capacity.
- The breaking load is the static load applicable to the product,
which leads to its total failure, either by rupture, or deformation.
All Wichard products carry a five years limited warranty against
defects in manufacture to the first purchaser if used in accordance
with this catalogue's published specifications. A product should never
be used at its functional limit. When selecting a product, always
apply a coefficient that will provide a good measure of safety.
Wichard generally recommends not going past 80 % of the functional
limit. If the application of the product is critical and requires a
very wide safety margin, the breaking load should be divided by 5 for
a comfortable margin. In accordance with international custom, Wichard
excludes from its limited warranty damages and liability relative to
the deterioration of equipment which is not manufactured by Wichard.
Wichard reserves the right to modify the characteristics of its
products without previous notification. The values and illustrations
in this catalog are not contractual.
