How is the rating attained?

Before manufacturing, an engineer will draft out the specifications of the scaffolding components. Decisions on materials, manufacturing methods, purpose of design, and specifications of the finished products will all be taken into consideration at the initial stages.

Using other software and engineering principles, the engineer
