When you’re buying scaffolding, you want to be sure it’s safe and of high quality. An easy way to know is to look for RISE certification. But what does that actually mean, and why is it important for you as a customer?

RISE stands for Research Institutes of Sweden and is a government-owned research institute. They work independently and test products in many different fields to ensure that they meet both Swedish and European standards. For scaffolding, this means the products are thoroughly reviewed and tested in real-life situations to ensure they meet requirements for safety, durability and stability.

A scaffold that is RISE certified has undergone rigorous testing where, among other things, load capacity, material strength and structural stability are checked. It is a guarantee that the scaffold meets EU requirements and clear proof that it is safe to use. For you as a customer, this means peace of mind whether you use the scaffold privately or in your business.

Choosing RISE-certified scaffolding is important for several reasons. Safety is improved and the risk of accidents is reduced. Financially, it is a better investment because you get a product that lasts longer and is less likely to break unnecessarily. In addition, it is often a requirement from insurance companies that equipment is certified for the insurance to provide full coverage. For companies, it is also an important part of their work environment responsibility and shows that they take safety seriously.
