DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment

Overview

This European Standard is applicable to permanently (not temporary) installed outdoor, free access multi-sports equipment and combinations, which usually include, but not exclusively, equipment for sports such as badminton, basketball, football, handball, hockey, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, and multi-sports areas. This standard specifies requirements, including safety requirements, for the equipment itself as well as for its installation, inspection and maintenance. This standard is applicable to multi-sports equipment intended for individual and collective public use primarily by children and teenagers. This type of equipment is not intended for use by very young children, for instance, children less than 3 years old. This European Standard is not applicable to playground equipment as defined in EN 1176-1, free access facilities used for roller sports equipment (see EN 14974), fitness trails, artificial climbing structures (see EN 12572-1, EN 12572-2 and EN 12752-3). This European Standard does not deal with beach equipment, the ground surfaces or the local environment and any features outside the multi-sports equipment. This standard does not include any specific requirements other than for access and egress for disabled users. With respect to the still existing DIN EN 15312:2007-04 primarily the test methods for entrapment in Annex D have been adapted to the corresponding test methods in DIN EN 1176-1. The European Standard EN 15312:2007 and the amendment to this standard EN 15312/FprA1:2010 have been prepared by CEN/TC 136 "Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment". The responsible national Committee is Working Committee NA 112-01-02 AA "Turngeräte, Matten und Spielfeldgeräte" ("Gymnastic equipment, mats and playing field equipment") of the Sports Equipment Standards Committee (NASport) at DIN.
