Ladder Safety Study Abbey Access (Ladders4sale)
July 31, 2024 | Nate CordIntroduction
In a recent market surveillance study conducted by The Ladder Association in partnership with the Test & Research Centre, our Abbey Access multi-purpose ladder MPL34 emerged as one of the top-performing products. The study aimed to investigate the safety of multi hinge-joint ladders being sold on the UK market, and we are proud to report that Abbey Access stood out for its compliance and safety features.
The Study
The “Multi Hinge-Joint Ladder Surveillance Survey” was an extensive market surveillance study designed to evaluate the safety of multi hinge-joint ladders available in the UK. The study revealed a concerning trend: 70% of the ladders tested did not conform to the product standard EN 131-4, posing serious safety risks to consumers.
