The EN131 is a European Union Certification for portable steps and ladders.
As of 1st January 2018 there is one standard with 2 classifications:
EN131 Professional
EN131 Non-Professional

The standard covers additional requirements for stability, slipping, durability and strength in position.

If the step ladder has a handrail above the platform will determine whether you are able to stand on the platform. The HSE advise to avoid standing on the top three steps, whilst the EN131 standard states to avoid the top two steps, if it doesn’t have a platform.
