ANSI/ALI A14.5-2007

This Standard prescribes the rules governing the safe construction of portable reinforced plastic ladders of various types including, but not limited to, step stools, portable extension, step, trestle, sectional combination, single, and platform ladders. A14.5 also prescribes rules and minimum requirements for labeling.

The purpose of this standard is to provide reasonablesafety for life, limb, and property. In order to developan effective safety program, the standard may serve alsoas a basis for purchase requirements and for instructionsin personnel training, and in the preparation of motivational/instructional material such as safety practices,manuals, posters, and the like.

This standard is also intended to provide the manufacturer,purchaser, and user of reinforced plastic ladderswith a set of performance and dimensional requirementsagainst which this product may be compared. It is notthe purpose of this standard to specify all the details ofconstruction of portable reinforced plastic ladders. Thelimitations imposed are for the purpose of providingadequate general requirements and testing methodsneeded for consistency.
