8、evision of the standard first published in1952 and revised in1957and1972which is withdrawn. This Part specifies general requirements only for apparatus for which particular requirements are specified in Section2.6 and Section2.11. This Part, together with the Sections of Part 2, covers equipment whi
9、ch is suitable for schools, establishments of further education, the defence services and the Home Office and in some instances is suitable for use in international competitions. The main change introduced into this revision of Part 1 is that types of wood have been revised to delete woods no longer
10、 freely available, and to include some additional species. Guidance on the selection and maintenance of gymnasium equipment which should be provided by the manufacturer is given in Appendix A. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British
11、 Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular, attention is drawn to Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work, etc., Act. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover,
12、an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 4, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS1892-1:1986 BSI 04-2000 1 1 Scope This Pa

36、if satisfactory performance is to be obtained from the apparatus, that before any decision with regard to the buildings structure is taken there should be full consultation at the initial stages. All those concerned with the setting up and equipping of a gymnasium, assembly hall or sports hall (i.e.
37、 the architect, the inspector, advisers on physical education, those responsible for the management and running of the gymnasium and the manufacturer supplying the fixed apparatus and floor coverings) should be consulted in order to obtain a properly co-ordinated arrangement of equipment and the nec
38、essary strength of the main structure, especially when this equipment is permanently fixed in position. This is of particular importance with a building of frame construction having non-loadbearing panels or infilling. The unit spacing of the framing should, if possible, be related to the dimensions
39、 of apparatus fixed to the walls. There should be no difficulty in arranging for fixtures and fittings appertaining to such apparatus to be placed in position by an apparatus manufacturer during the course of construction. Considerable attention should also be given to the positioning of any permane
40、ntly projecting objects such as hooks, window mechanisms, switches, radiators and other heating devices, accidental contact with which could cause serious injury. The temperature and degree of humidity in a gymnasium or sports hall can sometimes affect apparatus constructed from timber and this shou
41、ld be borne in mind when arranging contracts. Full consultation should take place with the manufacturers of the apparatus on any problems likely to arise from this source. Any apparatus used for swinging and similar exercises should be placed in such a position that contact by the user with any adja
42、cent object which might cause injury is unlikely to take place. The lighting of the gymnasium both by artificial and natural light should be non-glare. The nature and type of floor should be adequate for the safe use of the apparatus concerned. A.2 Maintenance of gymnasium equipment It is important
43、that all physical education apparatus is maintained in a first class, fully safe condition. General maintenance of the apparatus should take place regularly. An inspection should be carried out at least once per year by a competent person. In this way incipient defects attributable to wear and tear
44、will be discussed and made good and the continued safety of the apparatus ensured. It is essential that inspection, repair and maintenance work should be carried out by specially qualified persons. Care should be taken that the type of finish used during maintenance repairs is compatible with the in
45、itial finish. A certificate should be issued showing that the work has been carried out satisfactorily.BS1892-1:1986 BSI 04-2000 Publications referred to BS 302, Wire ropes for cranes, excavators and general engineering purposes.
