Title: Ladder Testing
Post by: Jock on October 19, 2004, 05:53:41 PM

Good evening everybody,
I am corresponding from the Persian Gulf & would appreciate some assistance with ladder testing info. required asap.

Require details on British Standards, Technical Bulletins especially on MONTHLY & ANNUAL Test Procedures.

Due to our location, we have no test records / equipment registers etc. etc.
It would be appreciated if correspondence could be related to the following ladders:

9.5m, 10.5 & 13.5 Extending Ladders.

All correspondence will be acknowledged. Many thanks for your time & assitance.
Best regards
Jock McArthur.

Certain manufacturers have different inspection regulations, but usually the ladders you mention have a visual inspection and also a deflection test.

I have details of the tests of Angus-Sacol ladders if that is any good to you?
