scope:

This International Standard is applicable to stationary machinery where fixed means of access are necessary. This part of ISO 14122 applies to fixed ladders which are a part of a machine. ISO 14122 may also apply to means of access to that part of the building (e. g. working platforms, walkways, ladders) where the machine is installed, providing the main function of that part of the building is to provide a means of access to the machine. NOTE 1 If no national standard or regulation is applicable this standard may be used also for means of access which are outside the scope of this standard. This part applies to non-powered adjustable parts (e. g. foldable, slidable) and to the movable parts of fixed means of access. This International Standard is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.
