New requirements of standards for assessing parameters of ladders intended for use in various conditions

Summary/Abstract: This article presents new safety requirements for ladders in standard PN-EN 131-2+A2: 2017-02. They cover two categories of ladders - professional and non-professional ones – and additional cyclic fatigue tests. New ladder tests are carried out under conditions similar to those at workstations where they are used. This article discusses the compatibility of those changes with a division of those devices into categories resulting from differences in the extent and intensity of their use. It also discusses in detail new requirements for tests, and the diversity of ladders on the market. Salespersons are important as they should provide comprehensive information to companies or individuals about European standards and technical specifications of ladders.
