Editing Scaffolding (section)

==Standards==
The widespread use of scaffolding systems, along with the profound importance that they earned in modern applications such as civil engineering projects and temporary structures, led to the definition of a series of standards covering a vast number of specific issues involving scaffolding.  Among the standards there are:
* [[DIN 4420]], a [[Deutsches Institut für Normung|DIN]] standard divided in 5 parts which covers the design and detail of scaffolds, ladder scaffolds, safety requirements and standard types, materials, components, dimensions and loadbearing capacity.
* DIN 4421, a [[Deutsches Institut für Normung|DIN]] standard which covers the analysis, design and construction of [[falsework]]
* 29 CFR Part 1926: Safety Standards for Scaffolds Used in the Construction Industry from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), with an accompanying "construction eTool"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=FEDERAL_REGISTER&p_id=13573|title=Safety Standards for Scaffolds Used in the Construction Industry;Final Rule - Occupational Safety and Health Administration|website=www.osha.gov}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/scaffolding/index.html|title=eTools - Scaffolding eTool - Occupational Safety and Health Administration|website=www.osha.gov}}</ref>
