AS 16630:2021 PDF Download

The EN 16630:2015 standard was adopted and modified to create the AS 16630:2021 standard, which was created especially for Australia. The general safety standards for producing, installing, maintaining, and inspecting freely accessible and permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment are outlined in this standard.

The standard makes sure that the fitness equipment goes through rigorous safety testing and complies with the laws so that users' safety and well-being are guaranteed. It covers a wide range of safety topics, such as the equipment's structural integrity, stability, and resistance to tipping; sufficient separation between objects to avoid collisions; and the giving of safety instructions and warnings.

To ensure inclusion and accessibility, the standard also covers aspects for particular user groups, such as children, older adults, and people with impairments. It offers recommendations for the layout and design of the apparatus to accommodate these various user needs.
