It
2、supersedes BS 10075:2013 which is withdrawn.BSI, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 16899 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval due to the following:The UK committee

22、national regulations on chemical safety of products shall be taken into consideration. Materials shall be selected and protected such that the structural integrity of the equipment is not affected before the next relevant maintenance inspection. Special care shall be drawn to brick and block structu
23、res and fibreglass products, since they are more susceptible to repeated impacts by users. NOTE Brick structures and fibreglass products do not necessarily hold against the impact test method nor repeated impacts from users. Parkour equipment reliant on bolted connections shall incorporate a seconda
24、ry proven system to prevent loosening caused by the vibrations of repeated user impact e.g. nuts with locking system. 4.1.2 Concrete Concrete shall be at least hardness of C25/30 and shall comply with EN 206. 4.1.3 Wood Wooden parts shall be designed in such a way that precipitation can drain off fr
25、eely so that water does not accumulate. In cases of ground contact, one or more of the following methods shall be used: a) use of species of wood with sufficient natural resistance in accordance with classes 1 and 2 of the natural resistance classification given in EN 350-2:1994, 4.2.2; b) appropria
26、te construction methods, e.g. post shoe, that protect the wood; c) use of wood treated with wood preservatives in accordance with EN 351-1:2007, Figure A.1, and EN 335:2013, class 4. Consideration should also be given to other issues, such as the potential for splintering or poisoning. All component
27、s made of wood and associated products, other than those species conforming to a) that affect the stability of the structure and are in constant contact with the ground, shall be treated in accordance with c). When selecting metal fastenings, consideration should be given to the species of wood and
28、chemical treatments used as some accelerate corrosion of metals if there is contact between them. Any plywood used in construction shall conform to EN 636 and shall be weatherproofed. BS EN 16899:2016EN 16899:2016 (E) 13 4.1.4 Metals Metals that produce oxides that scale or flake shall be protected
29、by a durable, non-toxic coating. Metal parts shall be protected against atmospheric conditions and cathodic corrosion. 4.1.5 Rubbers and synthetics An indication of the time period after which a part or item of equipment shall be replaced shall be provided if it could be difficult to determine durin
30、g maintenance the point at which the material becomes brittle. All structural plastic components shall have appropriate substances to reduce the influences of ultraviolet radiation and oxygen. If rubber is used in structural components, deterioration due to ozone shall be prevented or reduced either
31、 by: a) using considerably thicker material; b) leaving rubber parts visible for inspection; or c) making a notification to product or to maintenance instruction to check their conditions. 4.2 Requirements for structural integrity and loading Due to the dynamic loads applied by parkour activities, t
32、he structural integrity of equipment shall be verified by the calculations and/or physical test. The test method is in Annex A and the appropriate number of users is calculated according to Annex B. During the physical test (see A.5), the equipment shall show no cracks, damage or excessive permanent
33、 deformation and no connections shall be loosened. Parkour equipment for standing, walking, jumping or climbing upon, or any flat surface 0,1 m wide, and which has less than a 30 angle from the horizontal, shall be able to carry the load caused by at least one user. NOTE 1 This also applies to rungs
34、 or steps for supporting a users feet. Additional measures shall be taken for equipment in which the stability depends on only one cross section. When parkour equipment relies on one post for its stability, the construction shall be carried out such as to: a) minimize rotting or corrosion in parts c
35、ontributing to stability; b) allow for controlling degradation and the need for decommissioning; and c) be used without collapse within the foreseen inspection period when maintained correctly. NOTE 2 No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake
36、, needs to be made. NOTE 3 The loads associated with fatigue are generally much smaller than the loads in combination with the appropriate load factors when calculated in accordance with A.2. Therefore, equipment in general doesnt need to be verified for fatigue. Structural parts shall resist the wo
37、rst-case loading condition, as demonstrated by, for example, that part of the user load causing favourable effects, as shown in Figure 3. BS EN 16899:2016EN 16899:2016 (E) 14 Key 1 part of load to be removed Figure 3 Example of removal of that part of the user load which causes a favourable effect L
38、andings shall be designed to withstand repeated shock from users, including occasional heavy impacts, from more than one user landing at the same time. The manufacturer can choose either a physical test done according to Annex C or provide static calculations performed by appropriate methods. For co
39、mbined structures, when tested in accordance with Annex C, surround, panel and fixing points shall show no signs of cracks or deformation, loosening of connecting parts, or any other failure of structural integrity (see Figure 4). Key 1 panel 2 surround 3 fixing points Figure 4 Example of a combined
40、 structure BS EN 16899:2016EN 16899:2016 (E) 15 4.3 Requirements for foundations and groundwork Products shall not fall down, move during use or sink in a way that it affects to using the product. NOTE When components are embedded in concrete the corrosion or rotting of the element is harder to insp
41、ect. Where loose fill is used, sharp and non-vertical parts of the foundations shall be under the loose fill layer or in depth greater than 400 mm. 5 Safety requirements 5.1 Sporting ability Access to equipment shall be possible only through the users own sporting ability. NOTE The intention is to a
42、llow users to develop their skills to access equipment. They determine their ability to access the equipment. 5.2 Access restrictions Due to potential for access by children, equipment shall be designed to make access difficult for young children. Consideration shall be given to the combined dimensi
43、ons of the step (a + b), which is measured as a combination of horizontal and vertical dimensions (see Figure 5). Key a vertical dimension b horizontal dimension NOTE Step = a + b. Figure 5 Measuring the step Rails and bars: Access to rails and bars in higher position than 1 000 mm from the impact a
44、rea shall require at least one step that is minimum of 700 mm. See Figures 5 and 6. BS EN 16899:2016EN 16899:2016 (E) 16 Landings: Access to landings in height less than 1 000 mm may be as easy access as needed. However steps or very easy means of access shall be avoided. Access to landings in heigh
45、t of 1 001 mm to 1 500 mm shall require at least one step that is minimum of 700 mm. Access to landings in height of 1 501 mm to 3 000 mm shall require at least one step that is minimum of 1 000 mm. See Figures 5 and 6. Dimensions in millimetres a) b) Key 1 Step 700 mm 2 Step 1 000 mm NOTE See Figur
46、es 5 and 6. Figure 6 Easiest allowed access to landings and bars BS EN 16899:2016EN 16899:2016 (E) 17 5.3 Accessible surfaces, profiles and edge chamfers All accessible materials shall be treated to maintain the minimum slip resistance in conditions other than persistent precipitation, frost and sno
47、w. Surfaces shall not be too slippery and not overly abrasive. NOTE 1 Examples of slip resistance test methods: British BS 7188+A2:2009, Clause 5; German BGR 181 class R9. Equipment surface should not mislead user to think it has better friction than it really has. NOTE 2 As an example, brick patter
48、n on HPL would mislead users to think that the friction is much better than it is, whereas concrete stone performs similarly to real stones. There shall be no protruding nails or pointed or sharp-edged components. Overly rough surfaces shall not present unnecessary risk, e.g. cuts in skin or trippin
49、g over. Protruding bolt threads within any accessible part of the equipment shall be permanently covered, e.g. by dome-headed nuts. Finishes shall be free from sharps and galvanizing spru. The edges shall have at least rounding with a radius of 3 mm or a chamfer with dimensions of 3 mm 3 mm. NOTE 3 Radius of the rounding can be as big as the manufacturer wants but if it is bigger that 10 mm the user can lose some of the sensation of the edge. Corners, edges and projecting parts that protrude more than 8 mm, and which are not shielded by adjacent ar
