This document applies to outboard ladders for inland navigation vessels. Outboard ladders are used on inland navigation vessels having great side heights to facilitate safe climbing into ship's boats, safe disembarking or safe crossing over onto vessels in the case of significantly different boarding heights.
This document specifies safety requirements on design, dimensions and strength and test conditions for outboard ladders.
Outboard ladders are intended for that range where boarding stairs according to EN 1502 are not sufficient in length. This range starts at a boarding height of approximately at 2,8 m above the light water-line.
Boarding ladders are not intended for use by passengers.

This part of ISO 14122 gives requirements for fixed ladders which are a part of a stationary machine,
and to the non-powered adjustable parts (e.g. foldable, slidable) and movable parts of fixed ladder
systems.
NOTE 1 “Fixed” means of access are those mounted in such a manner (for example, by screws, nuts, welding)
that they can only be removed by the use of tools.
This part of ISO 14122 specifies minimum requirements that also apply when the same means of access
is required as the part of the building or civil construction (e.g. fixed ladders) where the machine is
installed, on condition that the main function of that part of the construction is to provide a means of
access to the machine.
NOTE 2 Where no local regulation or standards exists, this part of ISO 14122 may be used also for means of
access which are outside the scope of the standard.
It is intended that this part of ISO 14122 be used with ISO 14122-1 to give the requirements for fixed
ladder systems.
The ISO 14122 series as a whole is applicable to both stationary and mobile machinery where fixed
means of access are necessary. It is not applicable to powered means of access such as lifts, escalators,
or other devices specially designed to lift persons between two levels.
This part of ISO 14122 is not applicable to machinery manufactured before the date of its publication.

EN 14044 specifies the safety and performance requirements and test methods applicable to turntable ladders with sequential movements of classes 18, 24, 30 and > 30 to 56, as defined in 3.13, under the control of fire-fighters and intended for fire fighting and rescuing people. Turntable ladder vehicles comprise a chassis, bodywork and a powered extending structure unit in the form of a ladder with or without a rescue cage. Turntable ladder vehicles covered by this European Standard have a self-propelled chassis, the motor of which supplies the power necessary for the operation of the ladder. They do not permit operational movements to be made simultaneously. This European Standard deals with the technical safety requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during commissioning, operational use, routine checking and maintenance of turntable ladders when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized representative. This European Standard deals with the use of turntable ladder vehicles within an ambient temperature range from -15 °C to +35 °C and with a wind velocity on the ladder set ≤ 12,5 m/s. Additional measures can be necessary for use outside this range. Special designs for use under special climatic conditions should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Any additional requirements are outside the scope of the standard. This European Standard does not deal with the design of a standard automotive chassis with regard to hazards resulting from or due to use as a road vehicle. This European Standard is not applicable to turntable ladder vehicles with sequential movements which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

These ladders are used, to provide temporary access, generally on overhead line structures and to undertake electrical operations. They shall be used by one person only These ladders are not intended to be put in direct contact with energized parts nevertheless they provide sufficient insulation level to protect against inadvertent contact with low voltage live parts. The requirements and tests described in this European Standard shall be considered in addition to the EN 131 series. NOTE This European Standard does not cover ladders for applications upper than 1 000 V a.c/1 500 V d.c. These products are separately covered by a specific standard (EN 61478).
