Playground Equipment and Surfacing: Additional Specific Safety Requirements and Test Methods for Carousels
Also Known As:
Specific safety standards are provided by the BS EN 1176-5:2019 standard for carousels intended for children's use that are permanently installed. It focuses on making sure kids are safe when riding playground carousels.
Since the standard is only applicable to manually operated carousels designed for use in permanent playground installations, it does not apply to motor-driven carousels, fairground carousels, or climbing drums.
The standard further states that other pertinent requirements from the EN 1176 series of standards may be implemented as necessary if the main play function of the carousel is not rotating. This implies that the safety standards and test procedures in the standard take into account the unique properties and functionalities of carousels.
