Test Methodology:
Mr. Hughes, we performed dimensional testing on the fiberglass stairs that you manufacturer
to verify the compliance with state and federal modes for stairways. This testing consisted of
measuring the overall height, -width, length, length of rise, and length of run.
All stairs tested had to meet a predetermined test procedure. This test procedure referenced
the minimum stair width to be not less than thirty six (36) inches. The maximum rise of seven
and three quarter (73/4) inches with no more than three -eights (%) inch variations. The
minimum run being no less than nine (9) inches with no more than three -eights N variation.
The following chart shows the model and data collected during testing.
