A European standard called BS EN 16630:2015 describes the safety criteria and testing procedures for fitness equipment that is permanently installed outdoors. This standard focuses especially on equipment with an overall height larger than 1,400 mm that is readily accessible and made for use by children and adults. With the aid of trustworthy outdoor equipment, this standard hopes to encourage physical fitness and exercise.

It's vital to remember that this standard excludes military-style obstacle courses, practical training facilities, and electrically powered equipment. Even if it satisfies the requirements of another standard like EN 1176 or EN 957, it does not apply to children's playground equipment, indoor stationary training equipment, or free access multi-sports equipment.

The standard includes production, installation, inspection, and maintenance among its many lifecycle topics. In terms of durability, stability, and weather resistance, it strives to make sure the equipment complies with the necessary safety standards and is fit for outdoor use. It also contains test procedures for assessing the equipment's performance and safety.
