This British Standard specifies performance requirements for descender devices that are controllable by one person using one hand only, to be used for self-rescue, rescue assisted by a second person, or where the rescuer and rescuee descend in tandem.
This British Standard is applicable to descender devices for use in conjunction with personal protective equipment against falls from a height e.g. full body harnesses conforming to BS EN 361, and rescue equipment e.g. rescue harnesses conforming to BS EN 1497.
NOTE Other types of descender devices for self rescue are specified in BS EN 341.
