This standard was produced as a result of European discussions in which the UK actively participated to ensure that the UK knowledge and experience in childrens playground safety sta

Prior to the publication of this standard, the Play Safety Forum convened by the National Playing Fields Association advised
8、the use of BS 5696 or any other equivalent European Standard, making particular reference to the DIN standard 7926 for playground equipment. EN 1176 attempts to take the best that both standards offer and SW/65 considers that this has been achieved. After this standard had been written and approved,
9、 the Health and Safety Executive representative advised Technical Committee SW/65 of the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1992. The intention of safety legislation in this country is to maintain or improve health and safety
10、 standards wherever revision offers an opportunity. SW/65 considers that in general EN 1176 and EN 1177 have achieved this. There remain, however, areas where the previous levels of safety in BS 5696 may be considered to be at variance. The Health and Safety Executive may be able to offer further gu
