BS EN 131-1:2015+A1:2019 PDF Download

A European standard called BS EN 131-1:2015+A1:2019 describes the general design features of portable ladders and defines terminologies relating to ladders. The standard specifically applies to mobile ladders, roof ladders, and fire brigade ladders that aren't made for specialized professional use. It should be noted that various types of ladders, such as those with multiple hinge joints (EN 131-4), telescoping ladders (EN 131-6), and mobile ladders with platforms (EN 131-7), have their own specifications. Furthermore, this standard does not address step stools because EN 14183 does. This standard's goal is to establish a uniform framework for ladder design and identification in order to guarantee their consistent and secure use.
