Petzl say that about all products that are tested to the more stringent industrial standard EN12841B as opposed to the EN567 mountaineering standard.
Its very rare these days that you see industrial rope access technicians using a separate chest ascender. I don't think I've sold one into the industrial environment for the past 6 or 7 years. Most use the Petzl Top Croll chest harness with 4mm Croll that isn't removable.
I was lucky enough to be involved in some of the field trials of the new Croll before it went on sale and can confirm it was definitely aimed at the sports market.
