All fixed ladders conform to the following safety standards:

- DIN 14 094 (fire-fighting – emergency ladder systems for rescuing people in danger.
- EN ISO 14122-4 (Access products for mechanical installations).
According to the UVV, for ladder systems with back hoops, each section must not be more than 10mtrs long. Systems which are more than 10mtrs must be installed in sections with crossover platforms. If the characteristics of the building do not allow this, rest platforms must be fitted every 10mtrs.
