(such as steps and fittings) are free from defects.
• Ensure that there are no fastening components (such as screws or rivets) that are missing,
loose or corroded.
• Ensure that there are no rungs or steps that are missing, extremely worn down, corroded or damaged.
• Ensure that hinges are not damaged, loose or corroded.
• Ensure that the safety struts and fittings are not missing, twisted, dirty, corroded or damaged.
• Check that the fittings are not missing, damaged, loose or corroded, and that they reliably guide
the respective stile.
• Ensure that no step feet, cross-beam shoes or cover caps are missing, loose, extremely worn,
corroded or damaged.
• Ensure that the entire product is free from soiling (such as dust, dirt, paint, oil, lubricant or snow).
