That standard concentrated on specificationsfor specific t

It was replaced in 1979 by BS 5696 which switchedfocus to a design and safety approach.With the increasing introduction of overseas equipment BSI led the way by calling fora European Standard to address the conflicting safety advice and standards from othersafety of playground equ

There are some special cases for calculation of this distance: for a slide, the distance is half the length of the sliding surface; for a climbing tower, add vertical and horizontal distances between the geometric centres of the openings (see Figure 2).
