Provide responders with top-quality gear!

The 2006 edition of NFPA 1983 specifies current minimum requirements for the design, performance, testing, and certification of life safety rope and associated equipment used to support emergency services personnel and civilians during rescue, fire fighting, or other emergency operations, or during training evolutions.

This edition addresses each individual piece of auxiliary equipment, including:

• Life safety rope
• Personal escape rope
• Harnesses
• Belts
• Throwlines
• Hardware

Where the manufacturer produces a "system" combining specified rope and equipment items, that combination is tested and certified as a system. Items of equipment not assembled as a system are certified individually. 37 pp.
