II. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1 Object of the approval and field of application
The object of this General Building Authority Approval is the “Layher Allround LW” mo-
dular system for the erection of working and protective scaffolding, shoring and other
temporary structures.
The modular system is composed of uprights, ledgers, diagonal braces and decks as
the fundamental components, with the addition of system components for side protec-
tion, access components and supplementary components. The uprights, ledgers and
diagonal braces are joined together using special “HS variant” scaffolding connectors.
The approval also applies to the manufacture of the scaffolding components, unless it
is stated that their manufacture is governed by General Building Authority Approvals
Z-8.1-16.2 or Z-8.22-64.
The scaffolding connectors consist of a rosette welded to an upright tube, and of
connecting heads welded to U-ledgers or O-ledgers or swivel-mounted to vertical diago-
nal braces. The connecting heads surround the rosette, and are wedged to the rosette
by hammering in a permanently attached wedge in such a way that the connecting head
is forced against the upright tube.
A maximum of eight rods can be connected to each rosette.
The verification of stability for working and protection scaffolding is covered by the pro-
visions of DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03 in conjunction with the “Application Guideline for
Working Scaffolding in Accordance with DIN EN 12811-1”1, and, for verification of the
stability of shoring, the provisions of DIN EN 12812:2008-12, taking into account the
“Application Guideline for Steel Construction in Accordance with DIN EN 12812”2. The
parameters applicable for the stability verification are given in this General Building
Authority Approval.
A standard variant for application of the scaffolding components in façade scaffolding is
described, for which the verification of stability is provided. Variants differing from this
require special verification. The standard variant applies to façade scaffolding with an
assembly height of up to 24 m above the ground, not including the spindle extension
length. In its standard variant, the scaffolding system may be used with a system width
b = 0.732 m, and with bay widths ℓ ≤ 3.07 m for working scaffolding in load classes ≤ 3 in
accordance with DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03, as well as a brick guard and roof brick guard
in accordance with DIN 4420-1:2004-03.

Confirmation of compliance of the individual parts of the connector according to Table 1 and
of the scaffolding components according to Table 2 with the provisions of this General
Building Authority Approval must be provided for every manufacturing plant by a Certi-
ficate of Conformity on the basis of the factory’s own production checks and of regular
external supervision, including product tests on the individual parts and scaffolding com-
ponents as defined in the following provisions.
In order to obtain the certificate of conformity and the external supervision, including
the product tests that have to be conducted in that connection, the manufacturer of the
individual parts and scaffolding components must engage a certifying authority and a
supervision authority recognized for this purpose.
copy of the certificate of conformity that is granted must be given for information
A
purposes to the German Civil Engineering Institute by the certifying authority, as must a
copy of the supervision report by the supervising authority.
2.3.2 Factory production checks
An internal production monitoring system must be set up and operated at every manu-
facturing plant. “Factory production checks” refers here to the continuous monitoring of
production to be carried out by the manufacturer, by means of which the manufacturer
ensures that the individual parts and scaffolding components manufactured match the
conform to the provisions of this General Building Authority Approval.
Z19189.131.8.22-34/12
—7—
The factory production check should include at least the measures listed in the following:
Scaffolding connectors:
- Checks and inspections of the individual parts according to Table 1:
- It is necessary to check that inspection certificates in accordance with section
2.1.2 are available for the materials, and that the test results certified meet the
requirements.
- By examining at least 10 individual parts per production batch, comprising at
least 1 individual part from every 10,000 scaffolding connector parts manufac-
tured, compliance of the main dimensions and angles with the documentation
filed with the German Civil Engineering Institute must be checked. The actual
dimensions must be documented.
- The connecting heads must be examined for absence of cracks.
- Tests to be conducted on the scaffolding connectors include:
- 0.025 ‰ of the rosettes manufactured, but at least one in each manufacturing
week, must, after connection to an upright tube, be subjected to a tension test
with normal force, in which an O-ledger is attached on one side and a U-ledger
on the other in the “small” hole of the rosette, until failure; the failure loads must

The records must be kept for at least five years. They must be presented on demand to
the German Civil Engineering Institute and to the responsible superior building inspection
authority.
In the event of unsatisfactory test results, the manufacturer must immediately take the
necessary measures to rectify the fault. Individual parts or scaffolding components that
do not meet the requirements must be handled in such a way that they cannot be confu-
sed with conforming parts. Once the fault has been rectified, the test concerned must be
repeated immediately, provided this is technically possible and necessary to demonstrate
that the fault has been rectified.
2.3.3 External supervision
he factory’s own production checks at every manufacturing plant must be regularly
T
inspected by an external supervisory authority, at least twice a year for individual parts as
in Table 1, and every five years for scaffolding components as in Table 2. In the context
of the external supervision, the factory must be inspected, as must the factory’s internal
production check systems, including the performance of a product test on the individual
parts according to Table 1 and on the scaffolding components according to Table 2, the
manufacture of which is regulated in this General Building Authority Approval. The recog-
nized authority is responsible for taking samples and for carrying out the tests.
At least the following tests must be carried out:
- Inspecting the requirements, in terms of both personnel and equipment, for the proper
manufacture of the scaffolding connectors and scaffolding components
- Inspecting the factory‘s own production check system

3 Provisions for design and dimensioning

3.1 General
In the design and dimensions of the scaffolding to be constructed using the modular
system, it is necessary, unless and except this document specifies otherwise, to observe
technical building provisions, and in particular where working and safety scaffolding is
concerned, the provisions of DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03, in conjunction with the “Applica-
tion Guidelines for Working Scaffolding in Accordance with DIN EN 12811-1”1, as well
as the “Approval Principles for Working and Safety Scaffolding, Requirements, Assump-
tions for Calculation, Tests, Certificate of Conformity”4 and, in the case of shoring, the
provisions of DIN EN 12812:2008-12 in the light of the “Application Guideline for Steel
Construction in Accordance with DIN EN 12812”2.
The stability of the scaffolding must be verified in each individual case, or by a structural
strength type-calculation, if it does not match the standard implementation according to
Annex C.
3.2 System assumptions
The static systems must be modelled for calculation purposes according to Annex A,
page 3. The short rods specified there from the upright tubes to the connectors may be
assumed to be rigid. The indices quoted in the following sections refer to a local coordi-
nate system, where the X-axis represents the axis of the ledgers and the Z-axis the axis
of the upright tubes (cf. Annex A, page 3).
When verifying the scaffolding system, it must be borne in mind that the bending mo-
ment at the connection between the ledger and the upright tube relates to the outer edge
of the upright tube, and that the vertical component at the vertical diagonal connection
must be taken into account with an eccentricity in the connection corresponding to the
data in Annex A, page 3. The torsional moment resulting from the horizontal component
at the vertical diagonal connection around the axis of the upright tube is transmitted by
the connector, and must be verified in the ledgers.
The design must only call for those stresses listed for the load-bearing capacities of
Table 4 to be transmitted at the connection of a ledger, depending on the version of the
ledger (U- or O-ledger).
The design must only transmit normal forces at the connections of the diagonal braces.
The data for the stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the connections applies, with the
exception of the load-bearing capacity with respect to normal force at the ledger connec-
tion, to connections made in the “small” and the “large” hole in the rosette.
In all the formulas in the following sections, the shearing forces N and V must be given
in kN, while the bending and torsional moments M must be quoted in kNcm.
3.3 Ledger connection
3.3.1 Load-deformation relationship
3.3.1.1 Bending in the upright tube / ledger plane
If an articulated connection is not assumed, regardless of the ledger version (U- or
O-ledger), when verifying in the case of stress by bending in the upright tube / ledger
plane, a torsionally sprung clamping corresponding to Annex A, Page 1, Figure 1 must
be assumed at the ledger connection.
3.3.1.2 Bending in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the upright tube / ledger (horizontal plane)
If an articulated connection is not assumed, regardless of the ledger version (U- or
O-ledger), when verifying in the case of stress by bending in the plane perpendicular to
the upright tube / ledger plane (horizontal plane), a torsionally sprung clamping corres-
ponding to Annex A, Page 1, Figure 2 must be assumed at the ledger connection.

Z19189.131.8.22-34/12
— 10 —
3.3.1.3 Torsion
When verifying the O-ledger under torsional stress, a torsionally sprung clamping at the
ledger connection in accordance with the moment / twist angle (Mτ/ϕ) relationship as
shown in Annex A, Page 1, Figure 3 must be assumed.
In the connection of U-ledgers, formally no torsion can be transmitted.
3.3.1.4 Horizontal load perpendicular to the axis of the ledger
If it is necessary to take into account the deforming effect of the ledger connection in a
horizontal direction, then when verifying the ledger under stress from horizontal loads
perpendicular to the axis of the ledger at the ledger connection, a travel spring stiffness
according to Annex A, Page 3, Figure 4 must be assumed. The effect of this displace-
ment can usually be ignored.
3.3.2 Verification of load-bearing capacity
3.3.2.1. General verifications
It must be verified that the stresses are not greater than the load-bearing capacities
shown in Table 4 at the connection of a ledger.

3.7.2 Elastic support of the vertical frame sections

It can be assumed that non-anchored connectors of upright sections are elastically sup-
ported in the plane perpendicular to the direction of tension of the decks (perpendicular
to the façade in the case of façade scaffolding) by the horizontal planes (deck elements),
provided the adjacent horizontal connectors are anchored. This elastic support can be
taken into account by assuming a tri-linear travel spring in accordance with Figure 2 having
the parameters given in Table 10.

3.7.3 Elastic coupling of the vertical planes

The internal and external vertical planes of a scaffolding can be assumed to be elastically
coupled together by the decks in the direction of these planes (in the case of façade
scaffolding, parallel to the façade). This elastic coupling may be taken into account by
assuming coupling springs with the parameters listed in Table 12, regardless of the bay
width.

3.7.4 Material parameters

For components manufactured from S235 JRH or S275 J0H with an increased yield
strength (ReH > 320 N/mm2) - these components are correspondingly marked on the
drawings in Annex B - a yield strength value of fy,d = 291 N/mm2 can be used as a basis
of calculation.
3.7.5 Welded seams
When verifying the welded seams of components manufactured from S235 JRH or S275
J0H with an increased yield strength (ReH > 320 N/mm2) - these components are corres-
pondingly marked on the drawings in Annex B - exploitation of the increased yield strength
value of fy,d = 291 N/mm2 is permitted for butt joints (welded) that are subject to compres-
sive / bending compression stress. All other welded seams must be verified using the yield
strength of the original material for the components.

approval. Only components that are identified in accordance with Section 2.2.2 or in
accordance with the regulations of the General Building Authority Approval Z-8.1-16.2 or
Z-8.23-64 may be used.
In exceptional cases, they may be supplemented by steel tubes and couplers in accor-
dance with DE-EN 12811-1:2004-03 or by scaffolding boards and planks according to DIN
4420-1:2004-03.
Other than the scaffolding spindle illustrated in Annex B, Page 8, other lightweight scaffold-
ing spindles according to DIN 4425:1990-11, or base plates in accordance with Annex B
of DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03, in accordance with the required load-carrying capacity, may
also be used.
The following points apply to the use of the scaffolding connector:
A maximum of eight bars may be connected to each rosette.
The wedges of the connecting head must be hammered into place from above to below
using a 500 g hammer until the blow bounces off.
4.3.2 Base area
The lower uprights or vertical base collars must be placed on scaffolding spindles and
aligned in such a way that the scaffolding levels are horizontal. It must be ensured that the
end plates of the scaffolding spindles are horizontal and are in contact over the full area,
and that the resultant forces from the scaffolding can be absorbed and dispersed by the
supporting surface.
4.3.3 Scaffolding deck
The scaffolding decks must be secured to prevent them being accidentally lifted out.
4.3.4 Side protection
The provisions of DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03 apply to the side protection. Components inten-
ded for this purpose should be used in the first place, and only in exceptional cases may
components such as steel tubes and couplers in accordance with DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03,
or scaffolding boards and planks in accordance with DIN 4420-1:2004-03 be used.
4.3.5 Bracing
Scaffolding must be braced.
The vertical planes must be braced with longitudinal ledgers, or by longitudinal ledgers in
conjunction with vertical diagonal braces. System decking in conjunction with U-ledgers
can also be taken into account as longitudinal ledgers for the stability verification.
The horizontal planes must be braced by horizontal diagonals and ledgers, or by system
decking in conjunction with U-ledgers.
The form and position of the individual bracing planes are stated in the stability verification.
Z19189.131.8.22-34/12

4.3.6 Anchoring
The spacing of anchors and the anchoring forces is stated in the stability verification.
The anchoring of the wall ties to the façade or to other parts of the building is not covered
by this approval. The user must ensure that these forces from the wall ties can be reliably
absorbed and dispersed. Vertical forces must not be transferred here.
4.3.7 Couplers
The couplers with screwed connectors must be tightened to a torque of 50 Nm when
connected to the uprights; tolerances of ±10% are permitted. The bolts must be kept
easily movable by, for instance, a mixture of oil and grease.
5 Provisions for use and maintenance
5.1 General
The use of the scaffolding is not covered by this General Building Authority Approval.
5.2 Wooden scaffolding elements
To prevent moisture damage to wooden scaffolding elements, they must be stored in a
dry place, off the ground, with adequate ventilation.

Standard variant
C.1 General
In its standard variant, the scaffolding system may be used for working scaffolding in
load classes ≤ 3 with a system width b = 0.732 m, and with a bay width ℓ ≤ 3.07 m in
accordance with DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03, as well as a brick guard and roof brick guard
in accordance with DIN 4420-1:2004-03.
The topmost horizontal plane (scaffolding level) may not be more than 24 m above the
ground, not including the spindle extension length. The standard version of the scaffold-
ing system is dimensioned for working use in a scaffolding level in accordance with
the regulations of DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03, Section 6.2.9.2 in front of an “open” façade
with an open proportion of 60%, and in front of a closed façade. When determining the
wind load, a service life factor of χ = 0.7, assuming a maximum service life of 2 years, is
taken into account. Covering the scaffolding with nets or tarpaulins is not verified for the
standard version.
Without additional verification, the standard version may only be used when only forces that
are not greater than the definitive working loads according to DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03,
Table 3 act in the scaffolding bays.
he following identification according to DIN EN 12810-1:2004-03 must be used for the
T
standard version of the “Layher Allround LW” scaffolding system:
Scaffolding EN 12810 – 3D – SW06/307 – H2 – A – LA
C.2 Brick guard

The standard version of the scaffolding system has been verified as a brick guard for a
fall height of up to 2.0 m in accordance with DIN 4420-1:2004-03.
C.3 Components
The components provided can be found in Table C.1. In addition, non-system steel tubes
with a diameter of 48.3 • ≥ 3.2 mm and couplers may be used for horizontal bracing of
the bridging beams, while standard couplers in accordance with DIN EN 12811-1:2004-03
can be used for fastening the wall ties and V-type ties to the uprights.
C.4 Bracing
In order to brace the scaffolding horizontally, 0.73 m U-ledgers and, in each case, two
U-steel decks 0.32 m or U-Robust decks 0.32 m or one U-Robust deck 0.61 m together
with O-ledgers (longitudinal ledgers) must be fitted with a vertical spacing of 2 m through-
out the inner planes and parallel to the façade.
If there is ladder access, then either U-steel access decks or U-Robust access decks
must be used instead of the decks.
The decks and the hatches must be secured against being accidentally lifted out by lift-
off preventers.
To brace the outer vertical plane, O-ledgers must be used as guardrails (1 m above
the deck surface) and as intermediate side protection (0.5 m above the deck surface)
through every scaffolding bay at and above the second scaffolding level.
Immediately above the scaffolding spindles, vertical base collars must be fitted, and
must be connected by the longitudinal ledgers on the inner and outer planes parallel to
the façade, and by transoms perpendicularly to the façade.
The joints of the uprights must be arranged at the height of the deck levels.
Z19810.131.8.22-34/12
— 25 —
Standard variant
C.5 Anchoring
Anchoring must be provided by means of a wall ties in accordance with Annex B, Page 29.
he wall ties must be fastened as pairs of anchors at an angle of 90° (V-type ties) or as
T
“short” wall ties only on the inner vertical frame standards using standard couplers.
The V-type ties and wall ties must be attached in the immediate vicinity of the node
points formed by the uprights and the transoms.
The means of fastening to be positioned at the front of the building in order to absorb the
anchor forces must be designed to have characteristic values for their effects (γF = 1.0)
at least meeting those quoted in Annex C.
Every row of uprights must be anchored with a vertical spacing of 8 m; the anchor
points of adjacent vertical frames must be arranged here with a vertical offset of half the
spacing. The rows of uprights at the edge of a scaffolding, as well as the ladder access,
must be anchored at a vertical spacing of 4 m. At least one V-type tie must be used for
every five scaffolding bays.
C.6 Bridging
The bridging beams may be used to bridge gate entrances or similar openings when the
scaffolding levels underneath the bridging are omitted.
The bridging beams must be anchored in the region where they are supported and in
the centre, and must also be braced by a horizontal brace made of tubes and couplers
(cf. Annex C, Pages 8 and 9).
C.7 Ladder access
U-steel access decks with storey ladders or U-Robust hatches must be used for internal
ladder access.
C.8 Widening brackets
The U-brackets may be used on the inside of the scaffolding at all scaffolding levels.
O-ledgers (horizontal ledgers must be fitted between the main and bracket decking.
