Overview

Karting facilities come in a wide range of types. Such a wide range implies a gradation of the safety requirements, considering the specific level of hazards. On the basis of regular risk assessment, karting facilities operators should take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of users taking into consideration the risks as well as the restrictions imposed by technical and commercial factors. Karting facilities operators should also consider EN 16230-1:2013+A1:2014, when carrying out risk assessments. This European Standard includes requirements, guidance and notes. While compliance with requirements is mandatory, guidance, which can be used in accordance with a risk assessment and notes, gives additional information and/or explanations. This European Standard is applicable for karting facilities, as defined in 3.1, relating to karts that are not intended to be used on public roads. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 112-07-04 AA "Motorisierte Freizeitfahrzeuge nicht für den öffentlichen Straßenverkehr" ("Motorized leisure vehicles not intended for public roads") at DIN Standards Committee Sports Equipment (NASport).
