scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for aluminium shore gangways. It does not apply to gangways for inland navigation vessels. This standard applies to gangways designed to be carried on board ships, to provide a lightweight, convenient and safe means of access from ship to shore, for use primarily by the ship's crew. These gangways may also be used for access from ship to ship when conditions are favourable. This standard applies to gangways suitable for use horizontally or inclined up to an angle of 30°, special consideration of the design of treads and decking may be necessary.
