ISC Sar A-B Descender - Gold

ISC Sar A-B Descender - Gold

The A-B Descender has been designed for Technical Rope Access, Intervention/Special Forces and Rescue. It has been designed to overcome some of the problems that occur with other devices and comply fully, with the correct European Standard for this type of descender/rope adjustment device. SAR has once again had to alter the name of the descender from SCARAB to SARAB and now to the A-B Descender. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused to our customers over this problem, but in the end what’s a name between friends.

The A-B Descender conforms to two standards EN12841-C as a Rope Adjustment device (Descender) and EN341-C Descenders for Rescue. The two standards are very different. EN12841-C covers the device only, so that it can be used different types of Kernmantle rope, in accordance with the SAR user instructions. EN341 is the standard for a decent rescue/egress system and any system conforming to this standard must be used with the rope with which it was tested.
