scope:

This part of ISO 14122 gives requirements for fixed ladderswhich are a part of a stationary machine, and to the non-poweredadjustable parts (e.g. foldable, slidable) and movable parts offixed ladder systems. NOTE 1 ?Fixed? means of access are thosemounted in such a manner (for example, by screws, nuts, welding)that they can only be removed by the use of tools. This part of ISO14122 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the samemeans of access is required as the part of the building or civilconstruction (e.g. fixed ladders) where the machine is installed,on condition that the main function of that part of theconstruction is to provide a means of access to the machine. NOTE 2Where no local regulation or standards exists, this part of ISO14122 may be used also for means of access which are outside thescope of the standard. It is intended that this part of ISO 14122be used with ISO 14122-1 to give the requirements for fixed laddersystems. The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to bothstationary and mobile machinery where fixed means of access arenecessary. It is not applicable to powered means of access such aslifts, escalators, or other devices specially designed to liftpersons between two levels. This part of ISO 14122 is notapplicable to machinery manufactured before the date of itspublication
