    requiring the attachment of one or more structural anchors.   
or fixing elements to the structure..
B with one or more fixed anchor points
and not requiring the attachment of a structural anchor
or more than one attachment to the structure.
C using a flexible belay device with a maximum angle
of 15° maximum to a horizontal axis.
D using a rigid belay device with a maximum angle
of 15° maximum to a horizontal axis.

(Performance related to its mass and surface friction)

Example for a type B anchor:

> Static resistance:
- For 3 minutes if the anchor is in metal: 12 kN
- For 3 minutes if the anchor is made of textile: 18 kN

> Dynamic resistance:
- Drop of a mass of 300 kg in factor 1, no rupture.
