Some standard content:

GB17888.3—1999
This standard is equivalent to ISO/DIS14122-3:1996 in terms of technical content. The main differences between them are as follows: 1. The introduction in ISO/DIS14122-3 is rewritten in accordance with domestic conditions. 2. In the "referenced standards" chapter of ISO/DIS14122-3, 17 European standards or draft standards are listed, and most of these referenced standards are not mentioned in the technical content of the standard. Therefore, in the referenced standards of this standard, only a few corresponding national standards mentioned in the text of the standard are listed, and the rest are deleted. This standard is the third part of the series of standards for fixed facilities for access to machines and industrial equipment. This series of standards consists of four standards, and the other three standards are:
Part 1: Selection of fixed facilities for access between two levels. Part 2 Working platforms and passages.
Part 4: Fixed vertical ladders.
This standard was proposed by the State Bureau of Machinery Industry. This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for Machinery Safety Standardization. The responsible drafting unit of this standard is the Mechanical Science Research Institute. Participating drafting units are: Jilin Province Labor Protection Science Research Institute, China Standardization and Information Classification and Coding Research Institute.
The main drafters of this standard are: Ma Xianzhi, Shi Junwei, Xiao Jianmin, Zhang Mingxu, Li Qin, Yongcai, Xiao Wei. 62

If the width 1 is less than 1200mm, the load acts on an area of ​​100mm×100mm; if the width 1 is greater than or equal to 1200mm, a load of 1500N shall be added at every symmetrical 600mm. 4.10 The deflection of the frame and the treads shall not exceed 1/300 of the span. 5 Safety requirements and/or facilities for stairs

5.2 The overlapping part r of the treads shall not be less than 10mm. 5.3 The height of the risers shall be consistent on the same flight. In the case where this height cannot be observed between the starting plane and the first step, it may be reduced by up to 15%.

5.5 The clearance height e shall be at least 2300mm. b)
5.6 For stairs for single-person passage, the clear width between the two inclined beams or guardrails should be at least 600mm, preferably 800mm. 5.7 When the stairs are frequently subjected to the crossing of several people at the same time, the width should be increased to 1200mm. This width is necessary when the stairs can be used as an evacuation route for personnel. 5.8 The rising height H of a flight of stairs should generally not exceed 3m. In special cases, this height should not exceed 4m. Otherwise, an additional flight platform is required before reaching another flight of stairs.

In this case, additional safety facilities should be provided to ensure safe use (such as preventing the protruding edge of the tread from slipping). 6.4 The height of the risers should be consistent in the same flight. In the case where it is not possible to avoid this height between the starting plane and the first step, the height can be reduced.

Stairs with a width greater than or equal to 1200mm and all steps should have two handrails. 7.2.2 When the rise of a staircase exceeds 500 mm and there is a lateral spacing of more than 200 mm on the outside of the diagonal beam, a guardrail should be attached to its side.
Figure 5 Example of stair-passageway connection guardrail
7.2.3 The vertical height of the handrail should be at least 900 mm. In order to ensure a safe grip, the diameter of the handrail should be a circular cross-section between 25 and 50 mm or an equivalent cross-section that is easy to grasp by hand. 7.2.4 The guardrail should include at least one crossbar or some equivalent device. The clear spacing between the handrail and the crossbar and between the crossbar and the diagonal beam should not exceed 500 mm.
7.2.5 There should be no obstacles within 100 mm of the handrail, except for the lower end face of the fixed support. 7.3 Strength criteria
GB 17888. 3-1999
Figure 6 Position of the deflection gauge
Guardrails shall be supported so that a lateral load greater than or equal to Fmin is applied along the most unfavorable part of the handrail without permanent deformation and the maximum deflection does not exceed 30 mm.
Fmin = 300 N/m × L
L is the maximum distance between the axes of two adjacent pillars (L in Figure 6, unit: m). 8 Inspection of safety requirements and/or facilities
8.1 General toilet
The facilities specified may be checked by visual inspection, measurement or calculation. 8.2 Test of guardrails
The load F.min = 300 N/m × L is applied to the handrail step by step, without impact, and horizontally. The deflection (f1, f) produced along the center line is measured by the deflection gauge positioned horizontally as shown in Figure 6. 8.2.1 Pre-loading stage
Apply load Fmin vertically to the pillar for 1 min as shown in Figure 7, then remove the guardrail load and reset the meter to zero. 8.2.2 First measurement
Apply load Fmn for 1 min as shown in Figure 7.
The deflection f measured during loading should not exceed 30 mm. Fmin
Figure 7 First measurement
8.2.3 Second measurement
Apply load Fmin as shown in Figure 8.
The deflection measured during loading should not exceed 30 mm. After unloading, there should be no residual deformation.

Second measurement7 The skirting board with a minimum height of 100mm should be placed no more than 10mm from the base surface. 7.1.8 The distance between the axes of each support should be limited to 1500mm. If this distance is exceeded, special attention should be paid to the fixing strength of the support and the fixing device.
7.1.9 In the case of interrupted handrails, the maximum clear distance between two sections of guardrails should not exceed 120mm. If there is a large opening, self-closing doors should be used.
Self-closing doors should have handrails and crossbars of the same height as the handrails and crossbars of the guardrails (for the exit section of the ladder, see GB 17888.4).
7.2 Guardrails for stairs and steps (see Figure 5). 7.2.1 Stairs should contain at least one handrail. Stairs with a width greater than or equal to 1200mm and all steps should have two handrails. 7.2.2 When the rise of a staircase exceeds 500 mm and there is a lateral spacing of more than 200 mm on the outside of the diagonal beam, a guardrail should be attached to its side.
