The second one isn't to EN131,

It is unlikely the first is either. If it were, it would say it is
*certified* to EN131. With certain exceptions, such as medical devices,
anybody can claim their products conform to a standard without actually
having them certified as such.

but how does a dynamic load of 117kg compare
to a static load of 150kg? I'm about 88kg 'working weight', so plenty of
leeway - how about you TMH? ;-)

The duty rating, which equates to the dynamic load, for EN131 is 115kg,
which suggests that are probably much of a muchness.

Oh, thanks - I'd occasionally wondered about that.
