Frequently Asked Questions

CEN/TC 53/WG 10 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Guardrails for temporary works" and is responsible for: Preparation of specifications on temporary edge protection systems. This committee has published 5 standards.

CEN/TC 53/WG 10 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Preparation of specifications on temporary edge protection systems. Currently, there are 5 published standards from this working group.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.

Temporary edge protection systems - Product specification - Test methods
SIST EN 13374:2025

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for temporary edge protection systems for use during construction or maintenance of buildings and other structures.
This document applies to edge protection systems for flat and inclined surfaces and specifies the requirements for three classes of temporary edge protection.
For edge protection systems with an arrest function (e.g. falling or sliding down a sloping roof) this document specifies requirements for energy absorption.
This document includes edge protection systems, some of which are fixed to the structure and others, which rely on gravity and friction on flat surfaces.
This document does not provide requirements for edge protection systems intended for:
—   protection against impact from vehicles or from other mobile equipment,
—   protection from sliding down of bulk loose materials, snow etc,
—   protection of areas accessible to the public.
This document does not apply to side protection on scaffolds according to EN 12811 1 and EN 1004 1.
NOTE   This does not prevent these systems to be used on temporary structures.

This standard does not apply to side protection on scaffolds according to EN 12811-1 and EN 1004.
NOTE   This does not prevent these systems to be used on temporary structures, or enhance the protection provided on scaffolds defined under EN 12811-1 or EN 1004. If this is intended, additional testing will be carried out.
