Building Construction Test Laboratory

Various Edge Protection Assemblies Testing

Test various edge protection assemblies as per AZ/NZS 1576 and AZ/NZS 1577, including:

  • Guardrail testing (e.g. horizontal and vertical load resistance, deflection limits, fixing integrity);
  • Toeboard testing (e.g. impact resistance, load capacity, connection security);
  • Panel testing (e.g. structural integrity, fixation and stability, durability under cyclic loading);
  • Load testing of edge protection systems (e.g. distributed and point load conditions, dynamic load testing);
  • Compatibility testing with different scaffold systems (e.g. aluminum, steel, hybrid systems);
  • Environmental resistance testing (e.g. corrosion resistance, UV resistance, temperature variation);
  • Guardrail extension testing (e.g. modular extension strength, locking mechanism reliability);
  • Compliance with edge protection height standards (e.g. measurement from the working surface);
  • Encapsulation performance testing (e.g. mesh stability, shade cloth burst pressure, fixation strength);
  • Edge protection testing using specialized methods to evaluate durability and safety;
  • Coating thickness gauge measurements to ensure protective coatings meet safety standards;
  • Rubber hardness testing for components requiring impact absorption and flexibility.
