The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS) released KS V ISO 3797-2013 (2023), a standard specifically designed to address the requirements for vertical steel ladders in shipbuilding. This international standardization was adopted on September 5, 2013, with subsequent revisions to reflect contemporary safety and structural design standards up until its latest update in 2023.
This standard encompasses critical aspects such as material specifications, manufacturing processes, installation guidelines, and inspection procedures for vertical steel ladders. It aims to ensure that these components meet essential safety criteria and operational efficiency requirements within the context of ship construction and maritime operations. By adhering to KS V ISO 3797-2013 (2023), stakeholders in the marine industry can enhance the durability, reliability, and overall performance of vertical steel ladders used across various naval vessels.
The integration of ISO 3797 into Korean standards underscores a commitment towards harmonizing national practices with international norms. This facilitates easier compliance for manufacturers, reduces trade barriers, and promotes higher quality products that align with global maritime safety benchmarks.
