ASTM F1437-06

Standard Practice for Inclined Cargo Tank Ladders (Withdraw 2010)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice establishes the procedure for the construction and installation of inclined ladders to be fabricated and installed, by the shipyards, within the cargo tanks.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides design, construction, and installation criteria for inclined ladders to be installed within cargo tanks.
1.2 Where ladders are attached to platforms, see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
1.3 Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This practice provided design, construction, and installation criteria for inclined ladders to be installed within cargo tanks.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F25 on Ships and Marine Technology, this practice was withdrawn in March 2010 due to Practice F1166 for Human Engineering Design for Marine Systems, Equipment, and Facilities superseding its requirements.
