GSO ASTM E985:2011 Scope
1.1 This specification2 covers permanent metal railing systems
(guard, stair, and ramp-rail systems) and rails (hand, wall,
grab, and transfer rails) installed in and for agricultural,
assembly, commercial, educational, industrial, institutional,
recreational, and residential buildings.
1.2 This specification is intended to be applied to permanent
metal railing systems for buildings and to such railing systems
and rails having major structural components made of metal,
with their secondary components made of metal or other
materials such as wood, plastics, and glass.
1.3 This specification considers that today’s and tomorrow’s
overall outlook is based on the health and safety of all potential
users of buildings. The criteria incorporated in this specification
provide for normal and anticipated building uses, but not
for abuses for which the building and its components are not
designed.
1.4 This specification establishes basic minimum requirements
and criteria that lead to satisfactory products under
normal use conditions and does not give consideration to
design criteria for specific field conditions, the establishment of
which is the prerogative and responsibility of the designer,
specification writer, and code agencies.
1.5 Sources of supportive information are listed in the
Reference section (1-28).3
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
