1.1 这些测试方法涵盖了在测试永久性金属栏杆系统（护栏、楼梯和坡道栏杆系统）性能时应遵循的程序，包括安装在农业、装配、商业、教育、工业、机构中或用于农业、装配、商业、教育、工业、机构中的部件，如栏杆（扶手、墙壁、抓斗和转移轨）和摆动门或其他形式的所需护栏开口保护，休闲、住宅建筑和其他结构，如塔楼或高架平台。 1.2 这些试验方法适用于主要结构部件由金属制成的栏杆系统和栏杆，以及次要部件，包括摆动门或其他形式的护栏开口保护，由金属或其他材料（如木材、塑料和玻璃）制成。 1.3 这些试验方法可用于确定永久性金属栏杆系统和轨道， 2. 包括部件，符合适用性能规范（如建筑规范）或性能标准（如规范中所述）的要求 E985 ANSI/ASSE A1264.1和OSHA 1910.23。 1.4 具体而言，这些试验方法涵盖了当安装并固定在混凝土、砌体、木材和金属以及相关产品上时，确定金属栏杆系统、栏杆和组件作为结构元件的静态强度的程序。 1.5 这些试验方法未考虑不利环境条件导致的金属栏杆系统、栏杆和连接件的任何可能劣化。 可能需要进行涵盖这一方面的特殊测试。 1.6 这些试验方法仅限于本文所述荷载的应用。 1.7 如果计算能够提供所需的信息，则可以使用测试进行验证。 1.8 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.9 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 有关具体的危险说明，请参阅 11.2 . 1.10 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 这些测试方法旨在提供信息，从中可以得出适用的设计和性能数据，用于安装和固定在混凝土、砌体、木材和金属结构元件以及相关产品上的金属栏杆系统和栏杆的性能。 4.2 这些试验方法可用于确定栏杆系统是否符合适用性能规范的要求。 4.3 这些测试方法旨在根据性能规范用于购买和销售栏杆系统和部件，用于产品开发研究，用于质量保证和制造过程控制，用于制定性能标准，以及用于现场和实验室合规性测定。典型的落地式栏杆如所示 图1 . 图1 三种典型栏杆系统截面的正视图

1.1 These test methods cover procedures to be followed in testing the performance of permanent metal railing systems (guard, stair, and ramp-rail systems), including components such as rails (hand, wall, grab, and transfer rails) and swing gates or other forms of required guardrail opening protection, installed in and for agricultural, assembly, commercial, educational, industrial, institutional, recreational, and residential buildings and other structures, such as towers or elevated platforms. 1.2 These test methods are applicable to such railing systems and rails having major structural components made of metal, with their secondary components, including swing gates or other forms of guardrail opening protection, made of metal or other materials such as wood, plastic, and glass. 1.3 These test methods can be used to determine whether permanent metal railing systems and rails, 2 including components, comply with requirements of the applicable performance specifications, such as building codes, or performance standards such as those described in Specification E985 , ANSI/ASSE A1264.1, and OSHA 1910.23. 1.4 Specifically, these test methods cover procedures for determining the static strength of metal railing systems, rails and components as structural elements when installed and fastened to concrete, masonry, wood, and metal, as well as related products. 1.5 No consideration is given in these test methods to any possible deterioration of metal railing systems, rails, and connections, resulting from adverse environmental conditions. The performance of special tests covering this aspect may be desirable. 1.6 These test methods are limited to the application of the loads described herein. 1.7 Should computations make it possible to provide the needed information, testing can be employed for verification. 1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.9 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see 11.2 . 1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 These test methods are intended to provide information from which applicable design and performance data can be derived for the performance of metal railing systems and rails installed and fastened to structural elements of concrete, masonry, wood, and metal as well as related products. 4.2 These test methods may be used to determine whether railing systems comply with requirements of the applicable performance specifications. 4.3 These test methods are intended for use in the buying and selling of railing systems and components according to performance specifications, for use in product development research, for use in quality assurance and manufacturing process control, for use in developing performance standards, and for use in field and laboratory compliance determination.
