Mountaineering equipment - Braking devices - Part 1: Braking devices with assisted locking, safety requirements and test methods
This standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for braking devices used in mountaineering and climbing for belaying, with assisted locking function, to protect against falls from a height and/or for abseiling with speed regulation.
This European Standard applies to braking devices which are loaded with one person and which use mountaineering ropes according to EN 892. In case of abseiling and lowering down this standard applies also to low stretch kernmantel ropes according to EN 1891. It does not apply to fully automatic fixed installations.
Bergsteigerausrüstung - Bremsgeräte - Teil 1: Bremsgeräte mit Halbautomatik, sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Bremsgeräte zum Sichern beim Bergsteigen und Klettern fest, mit unterstützter Verriegelungsfunktion (Halbautomatik), um vor einem Absturz aus der Höhe zu schützen und/oder zum Abseilen mit Geschwindigkeitsregelung. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bremsgeräte, die von einer Person benutzt werden und bei denen Bergseile nach EN 892 verwendet werden. Beim Abseilen und Ablassen gilt diese Norm auch für Kernmantelseile mit geringer Dehnung nach EN 1891. Sie gilt nicht für vollautomatische ortsfeste Einrichtungen.
Equipement d'alpinisme et d'escalade - Dispositifs de freinage - Partie 1: Dispositifs de freinage semi-automatiques, 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 avec blocage assisté de la main utilisés pour l’assurage en alpinisme, en escalade et
activités connexes, pour protéger contre les risques de chute de hauteur et/ou pour contrôler la vitesse en
descente en rappel.
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. Elle ne s’applique pas aux
dispositifs de freinage manuels, qui sont traités dans l’EN 15151-2:2012, ni aux installations automatiques
fixes.
Gorniška oprema - Naprave za zaviranje - 1. del: Polavtomatske naprave za zaviranje, varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta evropski standard določa varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za polavtomatske naprave za zaviranje, ki se uporabljajo v gorništvu, pri plezanju in s tem povezanih dejavnostih navijanja vrvi, s polavtomatsko funkcijo za zaščito pred padci z višine in/ali za spuščanje po vrvi z uravnavanjem hitrosti. 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. Ne nanaša se na naprave za ročno zaviranje, obravnavane v standardu EN 15151-2:2012, ali na avtomatske pričvrščene naprave.

In case of abseiling and lowering down, this standard also applies to braking devices, used with low stretch kernmantel ropes according to EN 1891. It does not apply to manual braking devices which are addressed in EN 15151-2:2012, nor to fully automatic fixed installations. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN ISO 139:2005, Textiles — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 139:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 braking device mechanical device, which generates forces on the rope to oppose movement of the rope through the device 3.2 braking device with manually assisted locking braking device, that produces a change in its geometry once a certain hand braking force is applied to the free end of the rope, such that the hand braking force is amplified to slow down the rope movement through the device until arrest
3.3 panic locking element integral part of the braking device, which stops the rope moving through the device when abseiling or lowering a body, whereby it may prevent uncontrolled rope movement resulting from user operation beyond the control parameters 3.4 attachment point part of the braking device, which is required and intended for the attachment of a connector to connect the user according to the information supplied by the manufacturer
