Standards – what has changed? ZARGES Standards News In recent months, several standards and guidelines concerning the safe use of access equipment were further revised in order to reduce the number of accidents caused by a lack of knowledge or improper use. In this section, we are going to give you a brief overview of the most important changes. Mobile scaffold towers: EN 1004:2020 Applicable to mobile work platforms made of prefabricated components with a platform height of up to 12 m (inside buildings) or up to 8 m (outside buildings). A new version of EN 1004 was introduced in late 2020 and allows for a transition period of six months in Germany. The new version is applicable to work platforms with a minimum platform height of 0 m (reduced from 2.0 m). This means even small scaffold towers are now subject to the standard; they must therefore be fitted with complete side protection (consisting of a guardrail, knee rail and toeboard) and fulfil stricter stability requirements. Furthermore, the allowable spacing between platforms has been reduced. This is intended to improve safety, particular during construction and dismantling. Fixed ladder systems (physical structures): DIN 18799-3 Safety requirements & tests – Part 3: Accessories This part of the standard specifies in greater detail accessories for fixed ladder systems installed on physical structures. It defines the type-specific properties, dimensions and other requirements for ladders fitted on chimneys and support structures for aerials. It contains safety-related requirements. The standards in the DIN 18799 series take into account requests of companies and accident insurers that build or operate fixed ladders on physical structures or that play an advisory role in this regard. Amongst other things, they specify the requirements concerning fall protection equipment (such as guardrails), security doors in guardrails, and landing platforms. Single- or multi-joint ladders: EN 131-4 The EN131-4 standard, which applies to ladders with one or more hinge-joints, has been extensively revised. The changes concern the following: p Strength test in use position p Introduction of "professional" and "non-professional" ladder classifications p Amendment of the strength test and slip test for a platform 8
