BSI Kitemark
The first mobile steps to be awarded the internationally recognised benchmark for quality, safety and reliability.
Quality Standards
Must pass torsion, bending and stability tests to meet the standard.
Superior Stability
The mobile step must pass a stability test. This test is a side pull where 750N test load is applied to the most unfavourable position on the platform. For indoor use a horizontal pulling force of 300N is applied gradually to the side of the platform in the most unfavourable position and direction. The test is passed if the mobile ladder does not overturn.
Safety Instructions & Signage
According to BSI Standards, user instructions shall be provided.. These are supplied with all the steps in this range. Marking shall be displayed as specified in the standard. These must also pass a durability test and be specific to the individual mobile ladder showing important visual safety pictograms and also manufacturing information
Fall Prevention
The minimum handrail height is 950mm. The maximum handrail height is 1100mm. The guardrails and middle rails shall avoid a sphere of 470mm diameter to pass.
Strength
For steps with spring loaded castors a test load of 200N is applied in turn to each ascending tread and platform. The test requirement is that both feet of the side of the step where the load is applied shall be in contact with the floor during the test.
Superior Handrails
The ascending handrail should be positioned so the lowest grab point is a maximum of 1000mm from the ground. Handrails/Guardrails must also pass multiple strength and deflection tests according to the standard.
Working Area
The minimum working area dimensions are 400mm wide x 400mm deep x 950mm high. The maximum working area dimensions is 1000mm wide x 1000mm deep x 1100mm high.
