Namely:

• If the ladder or step ladder made of aluminum, it should be checked once a year on the strength, and if the wooden stairs, herTested for strength every six months;
• Ladders and step-ladders are tested every time after the repair, including the capital, but if even after repair on the wooden staircases there are cracks, breaks, operation of such stairs is not allowed;
• Aluminum stairs and ladders, if there are deformations, dents, backlash, etc., operation is not allowed.

Also tested for stability, if the ladder mounted on a level platform is unstable, operation after the test is not allowed. If the ladder is attached, then it should be strictly vertical and not have any roll.

2. Trial ladders are also tested, the only difference from the test of the ladders is that the ladder is put at an angle of 75 degrees to a flat vertical surface.
3. Sliding ladders are suspended on the stand in fully decomposed condition, after which the load is hung and held for several minutes.

After all the tests, a protocol with the serial number and the date of testing is compiled, and other characteristics are indicated.

The protocol includes all information about the results of the test and verification of the ladder. The end of the document indicates the suitability or unsuitability of the product signed by the chairman of the commission, and its members.

Frequency Test ladders

Instructions, how to test the ladder:

• Visual inspection of the product, checking inventory numbers, checking all connections, check clearances, checking the stability, the absence of deformation, whichEither chipped, cracked, etc.;
• ladder mounted on a flat surface at an angle of 75 degrees, then it is fixed load that gives a load of 120 kgf to one of the secondary stage, the total exposure time 2 min;
• Stremyanka also put on a flat surface in a fully unfolded state, selectively middle stage subjected to a load of 200 kgf, then each string serially loaded with a load of 100 kgf.

Testing ladders( video)

Once the load is removed, the stairs are subjected to inspection for defects, if these are not found, then prescribe another term tests, and the stairs again sent into operation. If, after the tests, the ladder can not guarantee safe operation, in this case, a special form of registration of deterioration for further exploitation is filled.
