FAI Hang Gliding and Paragliding Commission (CIVL)

Harnesses and Back Protectors

According to the decision of the CIVL Bureau on June 27, 2019, the paragliding harness rule, FAI Sporting Code Section 7A and C § 8.5.1, was modified as follows:

All pilots must fly with a harness and back protector combination that has been tested to LTF09 or EN1651:2018 or later more than 90 days before the start of the event. CIVL publishes an indicative list on its website. 

The rule refers exclusively to FAI Category 1 competitions.

For PGA harnesses certified according to editions of EN 1651 earlier than 2017 are not compliant, later years are compliant.

For PG XC harnesses shall be certified at least according to LTF 09.

In order to help pilots comply with this rule, a table has been compiled from the websites of harness manufacturers and test laboratories. The Paragliding Committee hopes that the PG community will help keep this list updated by informing us of any omission and notifying us of new certified models and harness/back protector combinations. This will prove most useful to organisers of future championships as well as to pilots and team leaders preparing to compete in championships. Updates to send to the CIVL Administrator.
