This European Standard specifies materials, design requirements, corrosion protection alternatives together with assessment methods using both calculations and testing for open thread and covered thread adjustable telescopic steel props which are intended for use on construction sites (see Figure 1).
It specifies five classes of nominal characteristic strengths for adjustable telescopic steel props each having a series of maximum extended lengths. Each having differing endplate configuration.
This European Standard does not apply to adjustable props of different materials or construction, nor does it provide any information concerning the use of adjustable steel props.
