Page 4: Declaration Of Conformity
Declaration of Conformity User Information Ringlock Declaration of Conformity Ringlock is a modular scaffold system, that enables users to quickly and efficiently erect, use, and disman- tle temporary work structures. The Ringlock system is based on the trademarked AT-PAC Ringlock system, which in turn, conforms to European standards BS EN 12810 and BS EN 12811. Ringlock is also compliant with The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) Code of Prac- tice for System Scaffold within the United Kingdom. Please refer to Table at the back of this document. -
