Scope1.1 This guide covers safety and performance guidelinespertaining to public skatepark facilities and any elementincluded
3、 therein. These guidelines pertain to any elementsintended to be used in the performance of the sports includingskateboarding, inline skating, and BMX biking. Items such asfencing, lighting, and operational structures are not intended tobe a part of this guide.1.2 This guide applies to above-ground
4、(indoor/outdoor)skatepark elements, intended for recreational use.1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.1.4 Tolerances Gen
5、eral Measures, Tolerances, andConversionsThe general dimensional tolerances for thisspecification (unless otherwise noted) are as follows:Dimension ToleranceX in. or ft 0.5 in. or ftX.X in. or ft 0.05 in. or ftX.XX in. or ft 0.005 in. or ftNOTE 1These tolerances still apply to a dimension even when
6、termslike greater than, less than, minimum, or maximum are used.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.NOTE 2The conversion
7、factor from inch-pound to SI units is 1 in. =25.4 mm, and 1 lb = 0.45359 kg.1.6 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, health, and environmental pract
8、ices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and

Materials and Manufacture4.1 General Requirements:4.1.1 Skatepark elements shall be m
21、anufactured, assembled,or constructed, or a combination thereof, using durable mate-rials fit for the use intended as specified by the manufacturer.4.1.2 Materials shall be tested and documented for durabil-ity by the supplier or manufacturer.4.1.3 Ferrous materials for outdoor use shall be inherent
22、lycorrosion resistant or be provided with a corrosion resistantcoating.4.1.4 Wooden materials for outdoor or indoor use shall meetthe Environmental Protection Agency and State requirements.5. Performance Requirements5.1 Guardrails:5.1.1 Guardrails shall be designed to minimize the likeli-hood of cli
23、mbing, shall be a minimum of 42 in. (1067 mm)high and prevent passage of a sphere equal to or greater than4.0 in. (102 mm) outside diameter. (Reference: 2009 IBCSections 1013.2 and 1013.3). Guardrails shall be constructed ina manner that does not allow a skateboard underneath andthrough the opening
24、between the bottom of the rail and theresting deck. Resting/Roll-out decks with an elevation of 38 in.(965 mm) and above shall be equipped with guardrails. Anelevated surface is exempt from these requirements if aguardrail would interfere with the intended use of the element.See Fig. 1.5.1.2 Return
25、guardrails shall terminate a maximum of 24 in.(610 mm) from the leading edge of the resting deck,. Cornersat the leading edge shall be free of sharp edges and contain amaximum radius or miter of 12 in. (305 mm). See Fig. 1.5.1.3 Adjoining Resting Deck GuardrailsGuardrails span-ning adjoining resting
26、 decks of different elevations shall beconstructed in a manner that shall prevent inadvertent fallsfrom one deck over the adjoining guardrail. See Fig. 2.5.1.4 If an element (like a bench, box, rail, etc.) is within 42in. (1067 mm) radius from the top of the guardrail, then theguardrail height needs
27、 to be adjusted to maintain the 42 in.(1067 mm) minimum height. See Fig. 3.5.2 If protective edging/surface is used, it shall extend aminimum of 4.0 in. (102 mm) behind the coping and be flushwith the finished riding surface within a tolerance of 0.078 in.FIG. 1 GuardrailF2334 182(2 mm), and shall b
28、e strong enough to protect the equipmentfrom damage and excessive wear due to prolonged use.5.3 Riding surfaces in the same plane shall be contiguousand shall be uniform in friction characteristics. The elevationdifference between adjoining surfaces shall not exceed 0.188in. (5 mm).5.4 Copings:5.4.1
29、 Coping protrusion shall be consistent along restingdeck/riding surface and shall protrude 0.25 6 0.125 in. (6 6 3mm) above the resting deck and 0.25 + 0.25 in. (6 + 6 mm) 0.125 in. (3 mm) above the riding surface. See Fig. 4.5.4.2 The outside radius of coping shall be a minimum of1.18 in. (30 mm).5
30、.4.3 Adjoining copings shall be contiguous and flushwithin 0.031 in. (1 mm).5.5 Gaps between riding surfaces intended to be in the sameplane shall not exceed 0.188 in. (5 mm) in any direction.5.6 Portable Elements shall not move during use.FIG. 2 Adjoining Resting Deck GuardrailFIG. 3 Guardrail Heig

(3 mm)difference to the riding surface.5.7.2 Approach/thresholds shall be between 0.12 in. (3 mm)and 0.19 in. (5 mm) from the top of the base surface at theleadin
32、g edge to the top of the approach/threshold. It isrecommended to remove the sharp edge from the top leadingedge of the approach/threshold. See Fig. 5.5.8 Stand-alone elements greater than 48 in. (1219 mm) inheight must have equal or greater width. This does not apply togrind rails, ledges, and other
33、 similar add-on devices.5.9 Side openings where elements adjoin shall be fullyenclosed. Transition sides shall be fully enclosed. See Figs.6-8.5.10 Stairs used as access to elements shall comply withapplicable International Building Codes. Performance Stairsare exempt from this requirement.6. Owners
34、 Responsibility6.1 Signage:6.1.1 Skatepark signage shall be provided by the owner/operator for installation on a signboard at the skatepark.6.1.2 Skatepark signage, free standing or fixed fence, mustcomply with the following:6.1.2.1 Convey safety information to the user and to thoseproviding parenta
