BS4211:2005 Ladder
DOES NOT COMPLY

BS4211:2005 + A1:2008
Fully compliant ladder

Complying with BS4211:2005 is no longer sufficient for any fixed access ladder, all ladder must now be designed manufactured to BS4211:2005 & A1:2008. Having superseded BS5395: Part 3 for fixed vertical ladders in 2005; BS4211 has undergone another change with the 2008 amendment. This amendment gives additional recommendations and requires a number of additional features, including:

•      Climb up to 10m without a rest platform

•      Height of cage units has been clarified

•      Trap door access has been clarified and a trapdoor specified

•      Pull out loads required have been clarified

As a result of these changes, any ladders installed after 2008 must have all these features in addition the recommendations of the original BS4211:2005 or risk non-compliance. Many of the features, such as self-closing gates or hoops modifications, can be retro-fitted to existing ladders in order to ensure that all access ladders comply with the correct legislation.
