1、Designation: F1703 13 An American National StandardStandard Guide forSkating and Ice Hockey Playing Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1703; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONIce skating and ice hockey have evolved as a result of a convergence of ideas from Canada, theUnited States, and Europe
3、. As a result of differing influences, there are a wide variety of skating andice hockey-playing facilities currently in use.Attention is called to the dimensions of the ice surface. The majority of facilities in Europe complywith those of the International Olympic Committee, 200 ft (60 m) in length
4、 and 100 ft (30 m) in width,while in NorthAmerica, the majority of facilities are 200 ft (60 m) in length and 85 ft (26 m) in width,with both having as near as possible to 28 ft (8.53 m) radius corners. However, variations may exist.In the interest of future standardization, it is recommended that i
5、ce surface dimensions of all newfacilities are those found in this guide.It is recognized that skating and ice hockey-playing facilities are also used for figure skating, speedskating, pleasure skating, and for the sports of broomball, curling, sledge hockey, and ringette.Organizers of these sports
6、may adopt the present guide as written, or modify the guide in accordancewith their special interests.1. Scope1.1 The intent of this guide is to provide consistent consid-erations for the design, construction, and retrofitting of iceskating and ice hockey playing facilities. It is intended toestabli
7、sh guidelines that will provide a level of functionality forrecreational skating, conformity for the purpose of competitionand reduce potential hazards to skaters, players, game officials,spectators, and employees.1.2 This guide should be taken into consideration byowners/operators, architects, plan
8、ners, engineers, equipmentmanufacturers, construction companies, constructioncontractors, and appropriate inspectors who may be involved inthe design and construction of new ice skating/hockey playingfacilities. Whenever possible, environmental sustainability andenergy efficiency should be taken int
9、o consideration in theplanning and design of facilities. This guide applies only to theconstruction and development of new ice skating/hockeyplaying facilities. Portions, however, may be useful for reno-vation projects, such as, replacing worn out dasherboards.1.3 Every arena is unique in material,
10、architecture, andengineering, and therefore will require technical review. Thisguide is not meant to provide an architectural prototype, but isa guide to set forth measures for the development of safer icearena venues.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The va
11、lues given in SI units are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regu
12、latory limitations prior to use.2.

36、ate and local building codes.4.2.5 Windows, Size, and LocationThermal sound modu-lating glazing should be considered in the design process.4.2.6 Doors, Size, and LocationThe type and use of doorsshould be considered in the design process.4.3 SpacesThe ice arena may include various spaces forthe cond
37、uct of the business such as mechanical room, entryarena, participant changing areas, spectator, and administrativeareas.4.4 Ice Rink AreaThis area should be large enough so thatbuilding walls or bleacher systems do not contact the dasherboard system. There should be a minimum of 20 ft (6.1 m)above t
38、he ice surface. Building utility lines should not beinstalled under the ice surface area. A drain should be installedat the ice resurfacer entrance outside of the ice surface.4.5 Ice Resurfacer Storage AreaThis area should bedesigned requiring the least amount of turning for the iceresurfacer. The c

Fuel storage, handling,and refueling areas to be determined and built accordingly.Sources of ignition should not be in these areas. Always wearpersonal protective e
45、quipment when refueling machines (thatis, gloves, goggles, long sleeve shirt).4.5.5 Battery PrecautionsFacilities using battery operatedmachines should have proper equipment installed. Batteriesshould be stored and worked on in well-ventilated areas. Thehydrogen concentration should not exceed1%byvo
