Loft Ladders: Requirements, Marking and Testing
Also Known As:
The specifications, labeling, and testing processes for loft ladders are outlined in the BS EN 14975:2006+A1:2010 Loft Ladders standard. To guarantee that the design and functionality of loft ladders meet specific requirements, this standard comprises words and definitions, product specifications, and test procedures.
The maximum load, test procedures, ladder structure and design, and labeling are just a few of the topics covered by the standard. Static load testing, fatigue tests, rung or tread torsion tests, handrail tests, ladder stop tests, and bending tests for rungs or treads are some test procedures. These tests assess the loft ladder's longevity, strength, and stability.
The standard outlines specifications for climbing angles, bearing surfaces, handrails, anti-slip surfaces, tread or rung pitch, and the distance between various ladder components in terms of construction and design. Operatability, surface finish, feet, unintended opening, and insulating and sealing values are among the issues that are covered.
In order to ensure that customers are informed about safe installation and use, the standard also underlines the significance of user instructions and clear marking for loft ladders.
