Class 1 Metal pole ladders are to EN 131 have a SWL of 150 Kg, has anyone else found any specification for timber pole ladders? I'm struggling to find SWL for some of ours which is hindering my progress on some risk assessments.

Wooden ladders should be covered by BS 1129:1990 Specification for portable timber ladders, steps, trestles and lightweight stagings. Presumably there is some SWL info in the standard.
