"While there are no mandatory safety rules for consumer ladders, manufacturers typically assign them maximum weight ratings from 200 pounds (Type III) to 300 pounds (Type IA) based on a voluntary standard published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). All the ladders in our Ratings met that standard. But four stepladders we rated have steps that bent under the higher weight we used to help account for the stresses of climbing and weight-shifting." TOUGHER STANDARDS NEEDED Ladders must resist bending under step-load tests with weights up to four times their weight rating as well as side-twisting tests as part of meeting the ANSI standard. But some experts believe that the standard falls short. Harold Stillman, who chaired the ANSI task force that most extensively revised ladder standards, notes that side-stability tests haven't been substantially updated since 1980. "The tests provide an easy out for manufacturers--they can stick with old designs that easily pass." James Glancey, associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Delaware, sees a common theme in many ladder-injury trials on which he has consulted. "By far, the most common failure is where one of the side rails bends inward right below the lowest step," he says. Glancey says that spotting such side-rail failure would require a dynamic test not currently included in the standard. An ANSI-compliant ladder, he says, "should pass more realistic dynamic loading in more than one direction at a time." The American Ladder Institute, the industry's major trade group, recently attributed the high number of ladder injuries mostly to misuse and improper selection. Yet the Consumer Product Safety Commission questions that claim. "While we think that those are primary factors, we have no hard data to say that for certain," says Scott J. Wolfson, a CPSC spokesman. "That information comes from no CPSC study that I know of." Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, believes that meeting ladder safety standards should be mandatory, a position the American Ladder Institute's Ron Pietrzak endorses, and should include updated tests. We also believe that the four existing ANSI consumer-weight classifications are troublesome because it's hard to predict who will use a ladder and how. Instead, we advocate one rating for consumer ladders to meet Type IA standards. "While that may mean more weight and fewer bargain-priced ladders, the added margin of safety is worth it," says Don Mays, senior director for product safety at Consumers Union. |
