Ladders - Part 1: Terms, types, functional sizes

This European Standard defines terms and specifies the general design characteristics of ladders.
It applies to portable ladders. It does not apply to step stools for which EN 14183 applies. It does also not apply to ladders designed for specific professional use such as fire brigade ladders, roof ladders and mobile ladders.

Echelles - Partie 1: Terminologie, types, dimensions fonctionnelles

La présente Norme européenne définit les termes et spécifie les caractéristiques générales de construction des échelles.
Elle s’applique aux échelles portables. En revanche, elle ne s’applique pas aux tabourets et escabeaux qui sont traités dans la norme EN 14183. Elle ne s’applique pas non plus aux échelles à usage professionnel spécifique telles que les échelles de pompiers, de couvreurs-ardoisiers et les échelles remorquables.

4 Functional sizes 4.1 General The drawings are examples only and products need not correspond. However, dimensions are binding. The rungs and steps of a ladder shall be equally spaced with a tolerance of ± 2 mm. The inner width b1 shall be measured at the upper edge of the shortest rung/step. The outside width b2 shall be measured at the lower end of the ladder. In addition to tests on the complete ladder sections which can be dismantled without the use of tools shall conform, section by section, with the requirements
