BS EN 16083:2012EN 16083:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for paddles and oars for non-rigid hull water crafts. Paddles and oars are classif
16、ied in two performance levels A and B. This standard is not applicable for paddles and oars for: training and competitive sports; white water; items covered by EN 71-1; folding/rigid framed boats/kayaks. This standard does not apply to wooden paddles and oars. 2 Terms and definitions For the purpose
17、s of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 paddle manually operated means of propulsion operated free-handed by a person NOTE It consists of a shaft with a (paddle) blade at the end. The double paddle has a blade at each end of the shaft. 2.2 oar manually operated means of pr
18、opulsion consisting of a shaft and a blade at the end NOTE The oar is pivot-mounted at the hull of a boat in eye lets or oarlocks. Oars can be operated by a person in pair or as single device. 3 Classes and types 3.1 Classes The following performance classes apply: class A: higher requirements, appr
19、opriate for touring purposes; class B: lower requirements, appropriate for bathing and leisure. 3.2 Types Depiction of examples of paddles and oars: see Figures 1a) to 1e).

There shall be no irregularities which could cause injury. 4.1.2 Testing Visual and tactile testing. 4.2 Temperature Testing shall be done at an air temperature of (20 3) C. 4.3 Bending strength of paddles and oars 4.3.1 Requirements When tested in accordance wit
22、h 4.3.2 paddles and oars shall neither break (shaft and blade) nor permanently deform (shaft) in a way that function is impaired. Load for blades of class A paddles/oars: 0,45 N/cm2; Load for blades of class B paddles/oars: 0,30 N/cm2. The determination of the blade surface shall be done according t

Key B max. width of blade L length up to 0,75 B Figure 2 Loading point BS EN 16083:2012EN 16083:2012 (E) 7 4.3.2 Testing The shaft of the paddle/oar shall be clamped on a rigid surface as shown in Figure 3. The blade shall be loaded quasi statically (F1) at a loading point on the centre
24、line of the blade (150 5) mm from its end with a vertical force as given in 4.4.1. Duration of each load application: 1 min; Number of applications: 25; In case of double paddles the testing force shall be applied on one blade side only.

26、A paddles/oars: (0,45 N/cm)/min. Load speed for blades of class B paddles/oars: (0,30 N/cm)/min. 4.4 Resistance against buckling of oars and paddles 4.4.1 Requirements The blade of oars / paddles shall be resistant against buckling. When loaded with a force of 800 N class A or 400 N class B in axial
27、 direction the blade shall not break, sliver or become permanently deformed (bended or buckled) in a way that impairs function. 4.4.2 Testing The blade is loaded during (15 1) s, then release for (15 1) s. Thus, each load lasts 30 s, and there are 25 applications, so 13 min 30 s altogether. The padd
28、le/oar may be cut so that the shaft shall be built-in. A compression plate shall load the end of the blade. The blade shall not slip on the compression plate. 4.5 Combined parts, couplings 4.5.1 Requirements After being tested in accordance with 4.5.2 all parts shall remain fully functional. Couplin
29、gs shall be capable of manual assembly, without the need for any tool, before and after testing in accordance with 4.5.2. 4.5.2 Testing The shaft of paddle / oar shall be put on a rigid surface. The assembled coupling shall be loaded quasi statically with a force F2of: 0,45 N/cm blade surface for cl
30、ass A; 0,30 N/cm blade surface for class B. The determination of the blade surface shall be done according to Figure 2. Duration of load application: 2 s; Number of applications: 1 000. Inspection, practical check for functionality. For the testing of coupling to bending see Figure 3. Load speed for
31、 blades of class A paddles/oars: (0,225 N/cm)/s. Load speed for blades of class B paddles/oars: (0,15 N/cm)/s.

32、n (separable types: each main part of the combined paddle). 4.6.2 Testing Practical test in fresh water. 5 Marking and labelling Paddles, oars or their packaging shall be labelled with the following data: Name or logo of manufacturer respectively distributor; At least on the packaging: the intended
33、use (sport or bathing/leisure); The conformity of paddles/oars with this standard may be declared in manufacturers responsibility by marking the product with the number of this European Standard.
