Dear Ajay,
It must be certified by third party as per factories act Lifting Machines, Chains, Ropes, Lifting Tackles (Section 29 of Factories Act 1948) I hope Telescopic ladder must comes under this section.
It's totally unsafe to use telescopic ladders in tilted position its was clearly addressed on manufacturer instruction / manual. In 2008 ford company has banned Telescopic ladder in their sites due to continuous accidents not only ford company most of MNC company's has banned telescopic ladder in India.
Hope info helps. . .
