bs standard for aluminium platform /walkway

[nodeward]

does anyone know of a relevant BS standard related to aluminium platforms/bridges/walkways? making up a little platform to span between a coupld of rails (just tread plate with a few leveling feet on the bottom. only about a foot off the floor, just to stop people tripping over the rails really ) and i cant find anything that has max permissable floor loadings or something similar, i know its gonna be strong enough and ive done the calcs just wanted something relevant to quote and cant find anything useful so far except cp3.

cheers

There is EN131 for ladders?
Search on the machinery directive page on the EU site here:
http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-m...s/harmonised-standards/machinery/index_en.htm
Construction products here:
http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-m...-standards/construction-products/index_en.htm
Or General product safety here:

You can use the search facility in your browser to look for text such as aluminium or platform, I think in Google Chrome that it is "Control F" on Windows.

It is where I go to look for harmonised standards when doing consultancy.
Also there is the BS website here:

Again you can search by text in the box at the top, searching on "platform" generates 230 hits, but, you can then search within results, and narrow by using the menus, for example selecting only current standards reduces the results to 157.
My gut feeling is this is the one you need, but, it is a PAS, not a BS or EN or ISO:
