7.1 TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH EN 341 AND EN 1496 - PRINCIPLE
The standard stipulates the performance that is expected of the device before it can be ap-
proved. Once the requirements of the standard have been fulfilled, the device is approved and
classified. Nominally the device is then approved for work involving the abseiling definition. In the
case of the MILAN and MILAN 2.0 (class A) this means that the device is approved for an abseiling
distance of 10,000m with 1 person (75kg), for example 100 x 100 m or 20 x 500 m.
Where it is not an emergency situation, for instance during training, safety tolerances should
be maintained however, with regard to this maximum permissible load. The size of this safety
tolerances is not standardized. SKYLOTECs recommendations are as follows:
