For a rescue by descent, a descender device conforming to EN 341 should be used.
EN 1496:2006 (E) 5 3.3 rescue system personal fall protection system by which a person can rescue themselves or others, in such a way that a fall is prevented 3.4 personal fall protection system assembly of components for protection against falls from a height at work, including at least a body holding device connected to a reliable anchorNOTE Excludes systems for professional and private sports activities. 3.5 maximum rated load (for the rescue lifting device) maximum mass of the person(s), including tools and equipment, as specified by the manufacturer for the rescue lifting device NOTE Maximum rated load is expressed in kilograms. 3.6 braking force maximum force Fmax measured during the braking period of the dynamic performance test NOTE Maximum force Fmax is expressed in kilo newtons. 4 Requirements 4.1 General 4.1.1 A rescue lifting device integrated into a personal fall protection system other than a rescue system shall meet all the requirements of this European Standard when in the rescue mode. 4.1.2 If the rescue lifting device is permanently fitted or intended to be fitted to a tripod or similar anchor device according to EN 795, the whole unit, i.e. the rescue lifting device and the anchor device combined, shall meet the requirements of this European Standard. 4.2 Ergonomics When tested in accordance with 5.5 with a mass equivalent to the maximum rated load, but at least 100 kg, the operating force for lifting the test mass shall not exceed 250 N. 4.3 Materials and construction 4.3.1 General Materials used in the rescue lifting device that may come into contact with the skin of a user shall not be known to cause irritating or sensitization effects during intended use. When checked in accordance with 5.4, the rescue lifting device shall have no sharp edges and burrs that may cause injury to the user. 4.3.2 Lines Lines shall be made from textile rope or webbing or from steel wire rope. 4.3.3 Ropes and webbings Fibre ropes of a non-sheathed core construction shall conform to EN ISO 1140 or EN ISO 1141.

Webbings and yarns shall be made of filament or multifilament synthetic fibres, suitable for the use intended. The breaking tenacity of the synthetic fibre shall be known to be at least 0,6 N/tex. Threads used for sewing shall be physically compatible with the rope or webbing and their quality shall be comparable to those of the rope or webbing. They shall, however, be of a contrasting shade in order to facilitate visual inspection. 4.3.4 Connectors Connectors shall conform to EN 362. 4.4 Function for class A rescue lifting devices When tested in accordance with 5.9.1, the test mass shall be arrested within a vertical distance of 100 mm. 4.5 Dynamic performance and function for class B rescue lifting devices When tested in accordance with 5.6 with a test mass equivalent to the maximum rated load, but at least 100 kg, the test mass shall b
