START reserve user's manual
EN 12491 norm
This notice shows the information requested
by the EN 1291 norm. This European Norm
(EN) is required for all the paragliding reserve
parachutes. All our reserve parachutes are
conforming to the EN norm.
The reserve parachute certification code EN
12491 is described as follows:
- Flight proper sequence : during a straight flight, the
reserve parachute is deployed. In order to conduct
accurately reproducible tests by avoiding any interfe-
rence from the paraglider, the test-pilot releases his
paraglider at peak height during a roll to begin the
descent with an important instability factor.
•The maximum sink rate is measured during the last
30 meters, the paragliding wing is released, below or
equal to 5,5 m/s under maximum load.
•Stability is checked in a subjective visual way ( with
a rolling effect or not ), and is gauged against the
overall sink rate ( an unstable reserve parachute
usually demonstrates a higher sink rate).
•The reserve parachute opening speed must be
inferior to 5 seconds.
- Structural tests ( resistance ): consists of verifying
the overall structural integrity of the parachute under
maximal load for a given horizontal 32 m/s speed.
There can not be any failure / damage taking place
on the riser / lines / canopy cascade during the
entire procedure.
The certification results can be found at www.supair.
