❔ Step Stools vs Step Ladders... do you know the difference? The product standards for these - that's EN 14183 for Step Stools, and EN 131 for Step Ladders - can overlap and cause some confusion.

We're sharing a short video from the Test & Research Centre (T&R). T&R General Manager, John Darby, takes a look at the differences between the two standards and why choosing the right standard is essential for anyone who makes, imports or supplies step stools and step ladders.
