Mountaineering Equipment: Individual Safety Systems for Rope Courses - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
A standard known as BS EN 17109:2020 outlines the safety requirements and testing procedures for each component of an individual safety system used in rope courses to prevent falls from heights. It is applicable to rope courses that are both stationary and portable, as described by EN 15567-1.
The standard emphasizes that taking into account the entire ropes course system is essential for satisfying this criteria because the items listed in the specification do not alone impact the slowing of the user's fall. In other words, rather than determining the total slowing of falls, this standard concentrates on certain elements of the safety system.
It's significant to notice that BS EN 17109:2020 does not handle safety lines and harnesses. The additional parts of the personal safety system utilized in rope courses are the topic of this standard.
