BS EN 16899:2016 PDF Download

The safety specifications for parkour equipment designed for use by people 8 years of age and older are laid forth in the BS EN 16899:2016 standard. This standard acknowledges that parkour requires users to exert themselves in a regulated manner while using both stationary and mobile equipment and structures.

This standard's objective is to safeguard users from potential risks that they might not foresee when utilizing the apparatus as intended or in a manner that is reasonably foreseeable. It also includes standards for the area, height, flow, position, and distance from other facilities like children's playgrounds and multi-use activity areas, as well as requirements for the installation and upkeep of parkour equipment.

It's important to note that this standard only covers the equipment, installation, and maintenance components of parkour; it does not include the actual parkour exercises.
