This standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for manual braking devices used in mountaineering, climbing and related activities for belaying and abseiling, with only manual control, to protect against falls from a height. 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 also applies to low stretch kernmantel ropes according to EN 1891. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 112-04-05 AA "Bergsteigerausrüstung" ("Mountaineering equipment") at the Sports Equipment Standards Committee (NASport) at DIN.
