45、1). The above mentioned requirements from EN 71-1 are not exempted for trampolines intended for children under 36 months. NOTE This European standard specifies specific requirements for edges, sharp points and protruding parts for trampolines for domestic use which is why the corresponding requireme
46、nts of EN 711 do not apply to trampolines (for children of 36 months and over). 4.2 Trampoline categories Trampolines shall be classified by the size, height and maximum user weight according to Table 1.

48、he outside of the frame (e.g. the largest diagonal in the case of a rectangular trampoline). If at least one of the measurements in Table 1 is exceeded, the trampoline shall be classified in the closest higher category. 4.3 General requirements for the trampoline construction (see A.3) 4.3.1 Require
49、ments for mini-trampolines (see 4.2) Mini-trampolines intended for indoor use shall be provided with anti-slip feet. Such trampolines shall not slip when tested according to EN 13219:2008, 5.2.
