BS EN 71-8:2011EN 71-8:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope (see A.1) This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for activity toys for domestic use o

36、ften attached to or incorporating a crossbeam, and similar toys intended for children under 14 years to play on or in and often intended to bear the mass of one or more children. This European Standard also specifies requirements for: separately sold accessories for, and components of activity toys;

37、 separately sold swing elements that are ready for use on or in combination with an activity toy; construction packages for activity toys including components used to build activity toys according to a scheduled building instruction. The scope of this European Standard excludes: playground equipment

38、 intended for public use dealt with in EN 1176; bow-mounted rocking activity toys such as rocking horses and similar toys, which are covered by specific requirements in EN 71-1; toy pools with maximum depth of water over 400 mm measured, between the overflow level and the deepest point within the po

39、ol; toy trampolines. NOTE 1 Requirements for toy trampolines and non-aquatic inflatable toys are being elaborated. NOTE 2 There is an enhanced risk of drowning in toy pools where the depth of water is in excess of 400 mm. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable fo

40、r the application 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. EN 71-1, Safety of toys Mechanical and physical properties 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of t

41、his document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 activity toy toy for domestic use, in which the support structure remains stationary while the activity is taking place and which is intended for the performance by a child of any of the following activities: climbing, jumping, swinging, s

42、liding, rocking, spinning, paddling, crawling and creeping, or any combination thereof NOTE Examples of such toys are swings, slides, carousels, climbing frames, playhouses and tents, paddling pools, non-aquatic inflatable toys. In contrast, ride-on vehicles are not considered as activity toys. BS E

43、N 71-8:2011EN 71-8:2011 (E) 7 3.2 anchor device used to fix an activity toy to the standing surface 3.3 barrier device intended to prevent the user from falling and from passing beneath 3.4 crossbeam bar or beam which forms a main load bearing part of certain activity toys (see Figure 2) 3.5 entrapm

44、ent hazard presented by a situation in which a body, part of a body, or clothing is entrapped 3.6 exposed edge edge intended to be touched and/or gripped by a child during the use of an activity toy NOTE Exposed edges are commonly found on doors, windows, shutters, ladders, steps, handrails, retaini

45、ng sides for slides and seats. 3.7 forced movement movement where the direction and the extent of the childs movement is determined by the operation of the equipment, for example swinging, sliding, rocking and revolving 3.8 free height of fall greatest vertical distance from the clearly intended bod

46、y support to the impact area below 3.9 free space space in, on or around the activity toy that can be occupied by a user undergoing a forced movement caused by use of the equipment (e.g. swinging, sliding, rocking, revolving) NOTE The definition of free space does not include the three-dimensional s

47、pace in which a falling movement takes place. 3.10 handrail rail intended to assist the user to balance 3.11 platform raised surface where one or more users can stand without the need of hand support NOTE The classification of a platform will vary depending on its function. Surfaces where the user i

48、s only able to stand with the aid of hand supports are not classified as platforms. Exclusion of surfaces from the definition can be achieved by a number of means, e.g.: reducing the surface area to restrict free movement and encourage holding on; incline the surface to encourage holding on; introdu

49、cing movement to the surface to encourage holding on. BS EN 71-8:2011EN 71-8:2011 (E) 8 3.12 slide structure with inclined surface(s) on which the user slides in a defined track (see Figure 1) NOTE 1 Inclined planes, designed primarily for other purposes, such as roofs, do not constitute slides.
