DIN EN 13451-7 PDF Download

The main objective of the DIN EN 13451-7 standard is to specify more detailed safety standards and test procedures for water polo goals. It is an expansion of the general safety requirements listed in EN 13451-1, with DIN EN 13451-7 requirements taking precedence over EN 13451-1 requirements. This standard is applicable to water polo goals created for both competitive and instructional purposes.

This standard establishes requirements for the building, design, and operation of water polo goals with the intention of ensuring the safety of players. It outlines specifications for elements like the goal's size, including its height, width, and depth. It also specifies requirements for the goal's stability and structural integrity, guaranteeing that it can endure the strenuous demands of water polo gameplay.

The test procedures provided by DIN EN 13451-7 can be used to determine if water polo goals comply with the standard in addition to the safety requirements. These test procedures assess the targets' numerous performance characteristics, such as their resistance to impact and their stability under particular weights and forces.
