This standard is not applicable to waterslides, rollerways or slide installa
30、tions where auxiliary equipment such as mats or sledges are used. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed

32、pment Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the definitions given in EN 1176-1 apply, together with the following. 3.1 slide structure with inclined surface(s) on which the user slides in a defined track (see Figure 1) NOTE Inclined pl
33、anes, designed primarily for other purposes, such as roofs, 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 star
34、ting section is usually direct from the mound or via an access 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,
35、other climbing devices. 3.5 helical slide; curved slide slide where the sliding section follows spirals or curves 3.6 free-standing slide slide which is separate from any other piece of equipment with its own means of access from the ground directly to the starting section 3.7 tunnel slide slide whe
36、re the sliding section has an enclosed cross section 3.8 mixed tunnel slide slide for which only the upper section of the sliding section has an enclosed cross section 3.9 starting section section on which the child is enabled to get into sliding position NOTE The starting section can be a platform
37、or an extension of a platform of playground equipment.

38、nts of EN 1176-1 except in so far as they are modified by this standard. 4.2 Access Access to the starting section shall be by means of an access ladder, stairs, climbing section or device. NOTE In the case of embankment slides, access to the starting section may be gained directly from the mound. F
39、or 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 2,5 m. 4.3 Starting section 4.3.1 Length and angle Each slide shall have a starting section of at least 350 mm length. The s
40、tarting section shall have a downward slope tolerance of 0 to 5 in the direction of the slide length, the measurement being made at the centreline of the starting section. NOTE For attachment slides the platform may be used as a starting section. 4.3.2 Barriers If the starting section is more than 4
41、00 mm in length, it shall comply with the requirements for platforms as specified in EN 1176-1 and the gap in the barriers shall be the same as the width of the sliding section.

The starting section
43、 shall be designed so that it is aligned with the direction of the initial sliding movement. 4.3.4 Lateral protection (sides) The top edge of the lateral protections shall be continuous and shall extend from the start of the starting section to the top edge of the retaining sides of the sliding sect
44、ion. When the free height of fall of the starting section of a slide exceeds 1 000 mm the sides of the starting section shall lie in the extension of the retaining sides of the sliding section. For attachment slides the sides shall have a height of at least 500 mm at some point (see Figure 2). For f
45、ree-standing slides the sides shall have a height of at least that required for platforms at one point. Any variations in the angle of inclination of the top of the lateral protection in the sliding direction shall be made with a radius of at least !50 mm “ at some point. 4.3.5 Access (rails) For al
46、l attachment slides with a fall height greater than 1,0 m, a rail across the access opening shall be provided see Figure 2a). The rail shall be positioned between the platform guard rail or barrier and the start of the sliding section. The height of the rail shall be between 700 mm and 900 mm. For a
47、ttachment slides with a starting section or barrier beyond the edge of the platform, the area of the starting section between the rail and the platform shall comply with the same requirements as platforms. NOTE Such requirements include the height of guard rail or barrier. 4.4 Sliding section 4.4.1
48、Angle The angle of inclination to the horizontal of the sliding section shall not exceed 60 at any point and shall not exceed an average of 40 . The inclination of the sliding section shall be measured from the centreline. If the changes in angle of inclination of slides is greater than 15 , other t
49、han for the transitional part between the starting section and the sliding section, the angle shall be radiused as follows: a) for the initial 2 m change in height, to at least 450 mm; and b) for the remainder of the slide, to at least 1 000 mm. 4.4.2 Width When measured as shown in Figure 3 open and straight, non-tunnel slides with sliding sections exceeding 1 500 mm in length shall have a width of sliding section of either: a) less
