Compared to EN 131-1:2007+A1:2011, the following modifications have been made in order to improve the stability of ladders in use: a) in figures stabilizers or wider base width for leaning ladders were introduced; b) further terms 3.48, 3.49 and 3.50 for stabilizers were added in Clause 3; c) requirements for minimum base width for leaning ladders were specified in 4.2.1, Table 2 and Table 6. EN 131, Ladders, is one of a series about ladders: — Part 1: Terms, types, functional sizes [the present document]; — Part 2: Requirements, testing, marking; — Part 3: User Instructions; — Part 4: Single or multiple hinge-joint ladders; — Part 6: Telescopic ladders; — Part 7: Mobile ladders with platform. The standards of this series are listed in Clause 2 and in the Bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
