Playground Equipment and Surfacing - Part 10: Additional Specific Safety Requirements and Test Methods for Fully Enclosed Play Equipment
Also Known As:
For fully enclosed play equipment, the DIN EN 1176-10 standard focuses on defining additional precise safety standards and test procedures. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations, and it is made for kids up to the age of 14. By addressing a number of different factors, such as exits and escape routes, visibility, external climbability, containment walls and netting in relation to the safety area, ignition resistance, particular equipment and components, impact-attenuating surfaces, signage, and specific inspection and maintenance procedures, the standard aims to ensure the safety of these structures.
The guideline underlines how crucial it is to have fully enclosed play equipment with as few risks and dangers as possible. For instance, it outlines specifications for exits and escape routes to guarantee that kids may leave the building swiftly and safely in an emergency. It also takes into account visibility to make sure that those in charge can see and keep an eye on the kids inside the building.
In order to avoid falls and guarantee that the play equipment is confined in a way that removes the risk of entrapment, the standard also addresses particular elements such as exterior climbability, containment walls, and netting. To reduce the risk of fire, it also includes criteria for ignition resistance.
The standard also covers the use of particular tools and parts in fully enclosed play equipment, ensuring that they adhere to the required safety standards. In order to lessen the severity of potential injuries from falls, it also defines specifications for impact-attenuating surfaces.
The standard specifies rules for routine maintenance and inspections as well as suitable signs to make sure that the fully enclosed play equipment is always in a safe state for usage.
