29、 standard specifies additional safety requirements for runways intended for permanent installation for use by children. This standard is applicable to runways that children travel on or along a cable by the use of gravity. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undate
30、d references, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when i

EN 1176-1:1998, Playground equipment Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods. EN 1176-2:1998, Playground equipment Part 2: Additional specific safety requirement
32、s and test methods for swings. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the definitions given in EN 1176-1 apply, together with the following. 3.1 runway; cableway item of childrens playground equipment that children can travel on or along a cable under the force of gravity (see Figure 1) 3.
33、2 starting point area in which the user can reach the grip or seat and set the equipment in motion 3.3 area of travel area in which the user can travel freely 3.4 terminus area furthest away from the starting point that the user can reach by travelling across the area of travel 3.5 traveller moving
34、part that, by influence of gravity, moves the user along the main cable (see Figure 1) 3.6 suspension cable part of the structure between the traveller and the seat or grip Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Fri Nov 17 06:09:06 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Cop

36、esigned to withstand the computed loads (static and dynamic) transmitted by the cable, in accordance with EN 1176-1. 4.3 Calculation of forces acting on the cable of a runway The main cable shall be so designed that it can withstand the forces acting upon it according to Annex B of EN 1176-1:1998. 4
37、4 Stops When tested in accordance with Annex A the stop at the terminus shall progressively slow down the traveller until it stops and the suspension cable shall not swing through an angle of more than 45 as shown in Figure 2. a) Terminus/starting pointb) Area of travelc) Terminus/starting pointd)

Accidental access to the sheaves shall be prevented (e.g. by cladding them). There shall be only one traveller (see Figure 1) on the same cable. If th
40、e mechanism swings in the direction of travel it shall be designed in such a way that it does not cause damage to the cable. 4.6 Suspension element The suspension element see Figure 3a) shall either: a) be flexible; or b) conform to the ground clearance requirements given in 4.12. For suspension-typ
41、e runways the suspension element shall be installed with a ground clearance of at least 2 m see Figure 3a) above the area of travel when measured unladen in the centre of the length of travel. NOTE 1 The construction of the flexible suspension cable should be such as to exclude the risk of strangula
42、tion. NOTE 2 Where necessary, a device in which people cannot become trapped and/or strangled may be provided for pulling the traveller. 4.7 Runways arranged in parallel For cable runways arranged in parallel, the distance between the cables shall be at least 2 000 mm. 4.8 Grips In suspension type r
43、unways, from which users will hang by the hands when the equipment is used correctly, the grip shall not be enclosed (e.g. loop). NOTE This is to ensure that children can get off the equipment at all times. It shall not be possible to climb on the grip. The end of the grip shall have an impact surfa
44、ce area of at least 15 cm 2 . Suspension type runways from which users will hang by the hands shall conform to the grip requirements of 4.2.4.6 of EN 1176-1:1998. 4.9 Seats Seats shall be designed so that the user can get out of the seat at any time. NOTE Seats comprising loops or straps are unsuita
45、ble. When tested in accordance with Annex C of EN 1176-2:1998, there shall be no peak values of acceleration greater than 50g and the average surface compression shall not exceed 90 N/cm 2 . 4.10 Speed When tested in accordance with Annex B the maximum speed of the traveller shall not exceed 7 m/s.
46、4.11 Free height of fall In the sitting position the free height of fall shall not exceed 2 000 mm when measured unloaded. In the hanging position the free height of fall (H 3 ) shall not exceed 3 000 mm when measured unloaded and calculated as shown in Figure 3b). NOTE The sagging of the cable and
47、thus the distance ground/cable, ground/grip and ground/seat are dependent on temperature. The minimum and maximum dimensions specified apply to a reference temperature of 15 C, i.e. during installation.

The ground clearance (H 2 ) of suspens
49、ion type runways shall be: a) 1 500 mm minimum at the starting point with a minimum height of fixing point (H 1 ) of 2 500 mm see Figure 3a); b) 3 000 mm maximum in the running position see Figure 3a), and, where rigid, 2 000 mm minimum, when measured unladen in the centre of the length of travel. 4.13 Cable clearance The cable clearance (C) of seating type runways shall be 2 100 mm minimum, when measured as shown in Fig
