Ron,
Are they covered by BS EN 131-1:1993 Ladders. Specification for terms, types, functional sizes?
Or by BS EN 131-2:1993 Ladders. Specification for requirements, testing, marking?
There seem to be more specific ones for wooden and aluminium ladders as follows:
BS 1129:1990 Specification for portable timber ladders, steps, trestles and lightweight stagings.
BS 2037:1994 Specification for portable aluminium ladders, steps, trestles and lightweight stagings.
But I can't see anything like these two for fibreglass ladders.
If you go to http://bsonline.techindex.co.uk and register as a 'Registered Guest' you can search the British Standards and get useful summary info, such as cross references, if it has been superceded and if so by what, etc.
Regards,
Karen

On page 90 of the draft Working at Heights Regulations consultation document (downloadable from the HSE web-site) ..... ( make sure your printer has got plenty of paper - it's 166 pages...) it mentions BSEN 131 : 1993 Kite Marked Industrial for Glass Fibre ladders.
Hope this helps.

Karen, Eric,
Many thanks for your response. I did know of BS EN 131 but just wanted to be sure that there was no BS specific to Fibre Glass Ladders.
Kind regards
