1、Designation: F3101 15Standard Specification forUnsupervised Public Use Outdoor Fitness Equipment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3101; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe goal of this specification is to promote proper design, manufacturing, installation, andoperational practices for unsupervised ou
3、tdoor fitness equipment for use in parks, schools, institutions,multiple-family dwellings, private resorts, recreation developments and other areas. These productsare intended to be used by individuals age 13 and older and typically are used in an unsupervisedsetting. Through these specifications, t
4、his specification aims to assist designers, manufactures, andowner/operators in reducing the possibility of injury.Adult anthropometrics are used in the design of this equipment. The equipment specifications setforth in this standard are for equipment intended for use by individuals 13 and older.Adu
5、lts must takeprecautions and prevent children under their supervision from accessing and using this equipment.This standard specifies requirements that are generally applicable to all outdoor fitness equipment usedin an unsupervised setting.The equipment user must recognize, however, that a standard
6、 alone will not necessarily preventinjuries. Like other physical activities, exercise involving outdoor fitness equipment, involves the riskof injury, particularly if the equipment is used improperly, not properly installed or not properlymaintained. In addition, users with physical limitations shou
7、ld be aware of their capabilities andlimitations in the use of this type of equipment and seek appropriate advice prior to using it. Certainphysical conditions or limitations may preclude some persons from using this equipment properly andwithout increasing the risk of serious injury. While the desi
8、gner, manufacturer, and owner cannotcontrol the public use of this unsupervised equipment they can address known causes of injuries to themost vulnerable users and unintended users-at-risk defined as those under the age of 13. Good designand best practice would dictate that these facilities are not
9、in physical proximity or physicallyseparated from playground for children because of hazardous conditions children cannot appreciate.1. Scope1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the designand manufacture of outdoor fitness equipment as defined in3.1.30.1.2 It is intended that these fitn
10、ess products will be used inan unsupervised outdoor setting or environment and will bepermanently anchored.1.2.1 It is the intent of this specification to only specifyrequirements for outdoor fitness equipment and its installationand not the design of the facility or grounds on which theproducts are
11、 to be installed.1.3 The specifications set forth in this standard are intendedto minimize the likelihood of serious injuries.1.3.1 The specifications set forth in this standard are foroutdoor fitness equipment intended for use in an unsupervisedsetting by individuals age 13 and older.1.4 The values
12、 stated in SI (metric) units are to be regardedas standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.5 General Measures, Tolerances, and Conversions:1.5.1 The general tolerances for this specification (unlessotherwise specified) are as follows:Dimension ToleranceXmm(Xin.) 13.0mm(0.5in.)X
