3、 is the UK implementation of EN 1176-3:2008. It supersedes BS EN 1176-3:1998 which will be withdrawn on 31 May 2009.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee SW/65, Childrens playground equipment.Operators and providers are advised that equipment conforming to EN 1
4、176 require regular maintenance. Guidance on this and appropriate inspection, maintenance and operation schedules are contained within BS EN 1176-7:2008.National standards have been published by BSI on childrens playground equipment since BS 3178 was first issued in 1959, this standard concentrated
5、on specifications for specific types of equipment. It was replaced in 1979 by BS 5696 which switched focus to a design and safety approach.With the increasing introduction of overseas equipment BSI led the way by calling for a European Standard to address the conflicting safety advice and standards
6、from other countries. This was published in 1999 as BS EN 1176 and further focused on the safety of playground equipment.All standards published by BSI are regularly assessed and this revision is part of the process, it takes into account new design concepts and the operating experience available to
7、 the standards committees.It is advised that the previous version of BS EN 1176 will not be withdrawn until 31 May 2009 to give manufacturers time to amend their product lines.Playground equipment not complying with this revision should not automatically be considered as being unsafe or to require r
8、eplacement. A risk assessment by competent persons should be used to determine what action, if any, is necessary. Manufacturers and Inspectors of the Register of Play Inspectors International (RPII) are amongst those that will be able to assist in this.A list of organizations represented on this com

BS EN 1176-3:2008EN 1176-3:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies additional safety requirements for slides intended for permanent installation for
28、 use by children. The aim is to provide protection to the user against possible hazards during use. Where the main play function is not sliding, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate. This document is not applicable to waterslides, rollerways or slide installa
29、tions where auxiliary equipment such as mats or sledges are used. This document is not applicable for inclined surfaces which do not contain and guide the user, e.g. banister rails (inclined parallel bars). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicati
30、on of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

31、initions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1176-1:2008 and the following apply. 3.1 slide structure with inclined surface(s) that contains and guides the user sliding in a defined track NOTE Inclined planes, designed primarily for other purposes, such as roofs,
32、 do not constitute slides. 3.2 wave slide slide with one or more variation(s) in the slope of its sliding section 3.3 embankment slide slide in which the majority of the sliding section follows the contour of the land NOTE Access to the starting section is usually direct from the mound or via an acc
33、ess ladder or stairs. 3.4 attachment slide slide for which access to the starting section is possible only by passing via other equipment or parts of equipment NOTE Such equipment includes climbing nets, bridges, platforms, inclined planes, other climbing devices. 3.5 helical slide slide where the s
34、liding section follows spirals (see Figure 4) 3.6 curved slide slide where the sliding section follows curves (see Figure 4) BS EN 1176-3:2008EN 1176-3:2008 (E) 6 3.7 free-standing slide slide which is separate from any other piece of equipment with its own means of access from the ground directly t

36、 starting section section on which the user is enabled to get into sliding position NOTE The starting section can be a platform or an extension of a platform of playground equipment. 3.12 sliding section section on which the user is undergoing forced movement 3.13 run-out section section on which th
37、e users speed is reduced to enable a safe departure from the slide 3.14 guarding section additional component of a slide, which serves the function of a barrier, to protect users from falls from the starting section NOTE The guarding section can extend into the region of the sliding section. 3.15 la

NOTE This part of EN 1176 contains a number
39、of requirements that will help limit the speed of the user whilst using slides. However, the coefficient of friction of sliding surfaces is highly dependant on the type of textile clothing worn by the user, material of the slide, weight of the user and weather conditions. It is therefore recommended
40、 that long slides are designed to ensure speed of the user is sufficiently controlled e.g. changes in direction of the sliding section. 4.2 Access Access to the starting section shall be by means of an access ladder, stairs, climbing section or device. NOTE 1 In the case of embankment slides, access
41、 to the starting section may be gained directly from the mound. For free-standing slides, the maximum vertical height that the first stairs can reach without a change in direction or offset, by a minimum width of the means of access, shall be 2 500 mm. Where the starting section of a slide is easily
42、 accessible the free height of fall (h) shall be 2 000 mm maximum unless guarding is provided (see 4.3.2 and Table 1). For all attachment slides with a fall height greater than 1 000 mm, a crossbar across the access opening shall be provided (see Figure 1a). The crossbar shall be positioned between
43、the platform guard rail or barrier and the start of the sliding section. The height of the crossbar shall be between 600 mm and 900 mm above the starting section. For attachment slides with a starting section or barrier beyond the edge of the platform, the area of the starting section between the cr
44、ossbar and the platform shall comply with the same requirements as platforms. NOTE 2 Such requirements include the height of guard rail or barrier.

The guarding section shall either be a continuation of the lateral protection or be outside the plane of the lateral protection. When the guarding section is separate from or outside the plane of the lateral protection, the maximum vertical or horizontal offs
