Sports and Recreational Equipment - Parkour Equipment - Safety Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The specifications for the creation, installation, and upkeep of Parkour equipment designed for use by both adults and children are set forth in the DIN EN 16899 standard. It highlights that Parkour is not intended for children's play and recognizes that users have complete control over how much effort they spend on the apparatus and how they move around.
This standard's primary goal is to safeguard users' safety by shielding them from unforeseen risks. It offers standards for how the apparatus should be built, taking into account things like space, height, flow, position, and distance from other structures like playgrounds for kids and multipurpose playing areas.
The standard includes suggestions for the appropriate installation and upkeep of Parkour equipment in addition to safety criteria. This makes it more likely that the machinery will continue to function properly and adhere to the essential safety requirements over time.
