To sum up, the general safety level of standardised scaffolding is
higher than that of non-standardised scaffolding. In our opinion
this result not only supports the policy of financial help given by
the Spanish administration for the replacement of non-standardised
scaffolding by standardised scaffolding, but also supports,
even more strongly, the EU regulations on the production of this
kind of equipment with a specific Directive on health and safety
which could eventually lead to a CE marking of scaffolding and
to a general implementation of the norms EN 12810 and EN
12811 by scaffolding manufacturers.
