Assessment of balustrade and railing kits (Regulation 305/2011)

This procedure establishes the specific systems used to assess and verify that balustrade and railing kits used in construction meet safety and performance standards. It ensures that these products, which are designed solely to prevent falls and not to support structural vertical loads, are consistent in quality and safety across the EU market.

This affects manufacturers and distributors of construction safety kits. It ensures that builders and consumers can rely on certified performance standards for railings and balustrades used in building projects.
