This standard BS 6037-2:2004 Code of practice for the planning, design, installation and use of permanently installed access equipment is classified in these ICS categories:

This part of BS 6037 gives recommendations for the planning, design, installation, use, examination, maintenance and testing of permanently installed travelling ladders and gantries (TLGs) including equipment installed on a building to facilitate routine maintenance of the building fabric and its services. It is intended for those involved in specifying, designing, managing the use of, maintaining and examining such equipment.

Where TLGs are intended to be used in conjunction with suspended access equipment (SAE), this code of practice is supplemented by BS EN 1808:1999 and BS 6037-1:2003.
