TESTING
EN ISO 14122 Part 3 & Part 4
EN 13374 Class A
OSHA – 200 lb applied to the top rail of the gate and 150 lb on the mid-rail of the gate
ANSI – The gate must comply with the same loading requirements as the structure to which it is
attached.
IBC – designed to resist linear load of 50 lb/ft
Ontario Building Code, NBC and British Columbia Building Code – “Handrails and any
building element that could be used as handrail shall be designed and attached in such a
manner to resist, (a) a concentrated load at any point of not less than 0.9 kN (202 lb) and a
uniformly distributed load of 0.7 kN/m (48 lb/ft).
OBC and NBC state – “all other guards” – 0.75 kN/m (52 lb/ft) or concentrated load of 1.0 kN
(224 lb) applied at any point on top of the guard
Evenly distributed vertical load on top of the guard – 1.5 kN/m (103 lb/ft)
Canadian Standards Association – 0.9 kN (202 lb), 0.7 kN/m (48 lb/ft) – states “Guard - a
protective barrier around an opening in a floor or at the open side of stairs, a landing, balcony,
mezzanine, gallery, raised walkway or other location; used to prevent accidental falls from one
level to another; such a barrier may or may not have openings through it.”
Canada Occupational Health and Safety – 890N applied along top rail (200 lb)
LIFE CYCLE TESTING - BS 6375-2:2009 Clause 6.5 - Opening and closing of Gate through 90
degrees.
SALT SPRAY TESTING - ASTM B117 - 11 - 55 over 200 hours to assess performance of
coating to resist corrosion.
