slings
The European standard for slings specifies safety requirements and test methods for slings used for mountaineering (slings are used as anchor points and since there are no industrial standard for slings, they must also comply with the requirements in EN795 type B, anchor devices)

The International Electrotechnical Commission technical specification IEC TS 61400-30:2023 sets out requirements for the safe operation, inspection, maintenance, installation, and decommissioning of wind turbines. For turbines manufactured in accordance with this specification (i.e. future new turbines), attachment points on the structure for fall protection or rescue equipment shall be clearly marked The height of the anchor point shall ensure that, in the event of a fall, the energy absorber can fully deploy and prevent the participant from contacting the ground (or structure directly below the anchor point)
Note
Anchor point height GWO recommends an anchor point height of 6.75 m for the evacuation exercises. The recommended height is based on the following formula: 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿 + 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 + 𝐶𝐶
