Werner Ladder testing
Ladder standards in the United Kingdom have settled on a single British and European standard that applies to all types of portable ladders. Where appropriate, our Werner ladders must fulfil the new EN131 standard, with a weight capability of 150kg. The European Commission was displeased with elements of the previous standard and issued an EC mandate for the standard to incorporate additional standards for stability, slide, durability, and strength, which will aid in reducing the primary causes of ladder-related accidents.
