Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für manuelle Bremsgeräte mit manueller Kontrolle zum Sichern und Abseilen beim Bergsteigen, Klettern und ähnlichen Tätigkeiten fest, um vor einem Absturz aus der Höhe zu schützen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bremsgeräte, die von einer Person benutzt werden und bei denen dynamische Bergseile nach EN 892 verwendet werden. Beim Abseilen und Ablassen gilt diese Norm auch für Bremsgeräte, die mit Kernmantelseilen mit geringer Dehnung nach EN 1891 genutzt werden.

Equipement d'alpinisme et d'escalade - Dispositifs de freinage - Partie 2: Dispositifs de freinage manuels, exigences de sécurité et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux
dispositifs de freinage manuel utilisés en alpinisme, en escalade et lors d'activités connexes pour l'assurage
et la descente en rappel avec contrôle manuel uniquement, à des fins de protection contre les chutes de
hauteur.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux dispositifs de freinage utilisés par une seule personne et avec
des cordes d'alpinisme conformément à l'EN 892. En cas de descente en rappel ou de descente par une
tierce personne, cette norme s’applique également aux dispositifs de freinage utilisés avec des cordes
tressées gainées à faible coefficient d'allongement conformément à l'EN 1891.

Gorniška oprema - Naprave za zaviranje - 2. del: Ročne naprave za zaviranje, varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za ročne naprave za zaviranje, ki se uporabljajo za ročno zaščito pred padci z višine v gorništvu, pri plezanju in s tem povezanih dejavnostih navijanja vrvi in spuščanja po vrvi Ta evropski standard se nanaša na naprave za zaviranje, ki so obremenjene z eno osebo in uporabljajo gorniške vrvi v skladu s standardom EN 892. V primeru spuščanja z vrvjo se ta standard nanaša tudi na naprave za zaviranje, ki se uporabljajo z oplaščenimi statičnimi vrvmi v skladu s standardom EN 1891.
