Steps – In house testing BS EN 13101:2002 Steps are routinely tested and type tested to BS EN13101:2002. All Caswick steps are Type I steps and must meet the following rigorous requirements. Impact: The step shall resist a 20kg mass dropping onto the tread from a height of 1 meter at a temperature of 20°C without fracture Caswick routinely test their steps at 0°C and -20°C Bending: The step shall maintain a load of 2kN for 60 seconds without deflecting more than 10mm. Once the load is released the step must return to under 2mm deflection. The step must then withstand a 4kN load for 60 seconds. Once the load is released the step must return to within 10mm deflection Due to the high strength steel in a Caswick step this requirement is easily achieved. Caswick use hi-tech production techniques to monitor the strength of the steel Twist: The straightness of the front edge of the step shall not vary more than 3mm when supported at 3 points Caswicks high accuracy machinery ensure steps are consistently flat along the whole step Integrity: Step encapsulation shall resist a 500V charge at a resistance of 1MΩ or greater Steps are routinely integrity tested after impact and show a resistance of 999MΩ Steps – In house testing Pullout: A step shall withstand a 5kN pullout load for 60 seconds without failure Depending on the
