ANSI-ASC A14.11-2018 defines safety requirements for stepstools, covering construction, design, testing, care, use, labeling, and marking. It applies to wood, metal, plastic, and reinforced plastic stepstools and includes dimensional requirements, stability testing, load testing, material-specific provisions, and guidance for selection and maintenance.
This standard is a practical reference for manufacturers, test labs, safety teams, and compliance reviewers who need a detailed framework for evaluating stepstool safety and performance.
Application Scope: Intended for general-purpose and special-purpose stepstools used in industrial, commercial, institutional, and safety compliance contexts.
