Work is now in hand on the two British standards (BS1129 and BS2037) on a revision of the remaining content for trestles and stagings. The parts of the British standards, BS1129 and BS 2037, which relate to ladders and stepladders have been withdrawn because we cannot have British Standards which conflict with European Standards. The revised EN131 Ladder standards are already published. What is the difference between EN131 Professional and Non-Professional Ladders?Īlthough ladders approved to the revised EN 131 standard carry the same load rating, Professional ladders are subject to tougher durability requirements, because they are expected to be subjected to more onerous use. *Maximum Total Load: the maximum weight the ladder is designed to support when set up in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. To meet the revised EN 131 standard, ladders are designed and tested to take a maximum total load* of 150 kg including the user, their tools, equipment and any materials. Has the load changed on a new EN 131 ladder?
