British/European Standard BS EN 60068-2-6 Environmental Testing (Vibration)
In accordance with BS EN 60068-2-6, a British UKAS-Accredited test house conducted seven resonance (vibration) endurance tests, each of six hours duration, plus an additional six hour swept endurance test between the frequencies of 74Hz and 87Hz on one axis. After each resonance endurance dwell, the setscrews were visually checked for any movement. Throughout the whole test programme, there was no evidence of any loosening of the setscrews. Further technical information relating to the test is available on request.
Australian Standard AS 1657-2013 - Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways & Ladders: Design, Construction & Installation
Typical Interclamp installations of our Traditional Range, DDA Assist and Pedestrian Barriers have been successfully proof load tested in both C42 and D48 sizes in compliance with the procedures specified in AS 1657-2013, by an independent NATA and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test house.
Australian Standard AS 1428.1-2009 Design for Access & Mobility Part 1: General Requirements for Access – New Building Work
Interclamp DDA Assist fittings may be used to build handrails that conform to AS 1428.1-2009. As this standard is for finished structures, it is important that the correct Interclamp fittings and other materials (most notably tube, fixings and existing structure or substrate to which the Interclamp structure is attached) are chosen for each application and that the complete structures are both suitably designed and installed to meet the requirements of the standard.
