This European Standard specifies the general design features, requirements and test methods for portable ladders.<\/p>\n

It does not apply to step stools or ladders for specific professional use such as firebrigade ladders, roof ladders and mobile ladders.<\/p>\n

It does not apply to ladders used for work on or near live electrical systems or installations. For this purpose EN 61478<\/span> <\/span> applies.<\/p>\n

\n
\n NOTE\n <\/div>\n

For insulating ladders for use on or near low voltage electrical installations EN 50528<\/span> <\/span> applies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 131\u20111<\/span> <\/span>.<\/p>\n

For single or multiple hinge joint ladders EN 131\u20114<\/span> <\/span> applies.<\/p>\n

For telescopic ladders EN 131\u20116<\/span> <\/span> applies.<\/p>\n

For mobile ladders with a platform EN 131\u20117<\/span> <\/span> applies.<\/p>\n
