The ANSI Z359.13 standard, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), describes the dynamic performance characteristics and test methods of personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards. The full name of this standard published in 2013 is as follows: ANSI Z359.13 Personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards.

This standard describes the new design criteria for the performance and test methods of energy absorbing lanyards. In particular, the new energy absorbers increase the user's deceleration distance from 107 cm to 122 cm. This increases the total potential fall distance.
The ANSI Z359.13 standard is implemented by businesses where employees are at risk of falling. In order for any equipment to bear the mark for personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards, it must meet all the requirements of this standard. This standard describes the service, performance, design, marking, qualification, instructions, inspection, maintenance and removal requirements for energy absorbing cords and personal energy absorbers.
The main purpose of this standard is that all energy absorbing lanyards and personal energy absorbers reduce the forces exerted on the wearer by 10 G, that is, 10 times the normal gravity force. It is assumed that users weigh between 59-140 kg.
In this standard, after the test equipment and test samples are defined, the following tests are explained:
