This code of practice makes recommendations for the selection, design, installation, inspection, use and maintenance of temporarily installed suspended access equipment/systems (TSAE), as defined in BS EN 1808. Non-standard installations are covered by this code.
Steeplejacks and steeplejack operations are not covered in this standard.
This British Standard does not cover permanently installed suspended access equipment, that equipment is covered by BS 6037-1.
Requirements for slung scaffolds, being working platforms on scaffold tubes or wire ropes but which cannot be raised or lowered by the user, are contained in BS EN 12811-1.
NOTE BS EN 1808 specifies the design and construction requirements relating to the safety of suspended access equipment and is a harmonized standard supporting the provisions of the Machinery Directive [7]. BS EN 1808 is not retrospective and therefore does not relate to equipment manufactured before its introduction in 1999.
