In het kort
Download Staht's free scaffold tie anchor test record: a fillable PDF with a results sheet for 20 anchors and eight cut-out tags. It records every field in TG4:25's typical anchor test report (its Appendix A), and more, and the tags carry the test date and load, which TG4:25 says it is common practice to put on each proof-tested anchor.
Deze richtlijn legt uit hoe testen op de bouwplaats worden gepland en uitgevoerd volgens BS 8539:2012+A1:2021 en NASC TG4:25. Zij vervangt deze documenten niet, evenmin als de gegevens van de ankerfabrikant of de instructies van de steigerontwerper, voorschrijver of verantwoordelijke constructeur voor het project, die het testplan, de belastingen en de factoren bepaalt. Een test legt vast wat er op die dag is gebeurd; hij keurt een bevestiging niet goed voor gebruik.

Key figures
| Format | Fillable PDF, A4, two pages: type on screen or print |
|---|---|
| Results sheet | 20 anchors |
| Tags | 8 cut-out tags: date, test load, result, tester |
What's in the template?
| Part | Fields |
|---|---|
| The job | Site, date, record number, client, scaffold contractor, anchor type and size, base material, tie duty |
| The test | Preliminary or proof; the minimum test load; who set it |
| Results | For each anchor: test number, location (elevation, lift, bay), minimum test load, load reached, pass or fail, tagged, notes |
| Tester | Name, company and signature; tester make, model, serial number, last calibration date and calibrated accuracy |
| Tags | Date, test load, result and tester, and a box to mark a failed anchor, on each of 8 tags |
What minimum test load goes on the record?
For a proof test, 1.25 times the tie duty from the TG20 or TG30 compliance sheet or the design. For a preliminary test, twice the tie duty, or three times for nylon anchors unless the maker states otherwise. See scaffold tie test loads for each tie class.
How are the tags used?
TG4:25 notes that tagging each proof-tested anchor with the date and load is common practice. Fill in a tag and fix it to the anchor or tie, so the next inspector can see it was tested, when and to what load. For an anchor that failed, mark the tag's failed box with an X, so nobody uses it.
Is this a scaffold tie test certificate?
It's the record a certificate would hold: what was tested, to what load, and the result. It doesn't approve the anchors or the scaffold design; it states what happened on the day.
Can the Staht Connect app replace it?
For the results, yes: the t25 pairs with Staht Connect, which records each test with the peak load, target load, pass or fail, a photo and a map pin. You still tag the anchors on site.

More questions
Every anchor tested: at least 5% (1 in 20) of the tie anchors on each job, chosen at random, with at least 3 in each discrete area, and more after a failure.
The competent person who did the tests, using a gauge calibrated within the last 12 months to an accuracy of 5%.
Yes. It's free to use, copy and adapt.
