What is meaning Lifeline?

For each breathing apparatus a fireproof lifeline of at least 30 m in length shall be provided. The lifeline shall successfully pass an approval test by statical load of 3.5 kN for 5 min without failure.

The lifeline shall be capable of being attached by means of a snap-hook to the harness of the apparatus  or to a separate belt in order to prevent the breathing apparatus becoming detached when the lifeline is operated.
