  • Buoyancy: The rope must be inherently buoyant (float on water).
  • Diamter: The diameter of the line must be not less than 8 mm.
  • Strength: The breaking strength of the line must be not less than 5 kN (approx. 510 kg of breaking force).
  • Handling: The line must be non-kinking to prevent knots and tangles during emergency deployment.
