The primary ISO standard specifically for scaffolding components is ‌ISO/AWI 24861‌ (Ships and marine technology — Scaffolding components), currently under development as an approved work item since April 2024. This standard specifies requirements for scaffolding components assembled on ships and offshore plants.

While ISO 24861 is scaffold-specific, broader structural and safety principles are covered in related ISO/IEC standards:

• ‌EN 12811 series‌ (referenced in Malaysian standard ‌MS1462‌) for temporary works equipment, including load testing and design methods.
• ‌EN 12810 series‌ for prefabricated scaffolds’ structural design.
• ‌EN 39‌ for steel tubes in tube-and-coupler scaffolds.

These European standards (EN) are internationally harmonized and adopted within ISO frameworks for construction safety.

Note: Full compliance requires adherence to regional regulations (e.g., OSHA 1926.451, BS 2482 for scaffold boards).
