Such a wide range implies a gradation of the safety requirements, considering the specific level of hazards. On the basis of regular risk assessment, ka
21、rting facilities operators should take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of users taking into consideration the risks as well as the restrictions imposed by technical and commercial factors. Karting facilities operators should also consider EN 16230-1:2013+A1:2014, when carrying out risk asse
22、ssments. This European Standard includes requirements, guidance and notes. While compliance with requirements is mandatory, guidance, which can be used in accordance with a risk assessment and notes, gives additional information and/or explanations. BS EN 16230-2:2016EN 16230-2:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope Th
23、is European Standard is applicable for karting facilities, as defined in 3.1 below, relating to karts that are not intended to be used on public roads. This European Standard applies to: operation of leisure karts only; operation of karts propelled by a combustion engine, including LPG (liquefied pe
24、troleum gas) combustion engines; operation of karts used on indoor and outdoor tracks, permanent or temporary; operation of karts used on supervised tracks designed for leisure karting, with a permanent hard surface (such as asphalt, concrete, timber and steel); This part 2 does not consider the use
25、 of karts on ice or snow. This European Standard does not apply to: operation of karts used for competition organized by and under the responsibility of Commission International of Karting (CIK), Federation International of Automobile (FIA) and/or ASN (a national automobile club or other national bo
26、dy recognized by the FIA as sole holder of sporting power in a country), ensuring through the granting of licenses by an ASN or one of its affiliated members as defined in the International Sporting code, compliance with the safety, sporting, disciplinary and technical rules of the CIK-FIA and/ or A
27、SN; operation of karts designed exclusively for competition and toys; operation of cross country karts; operation of karts with two or more seats; operation of karts used on tracks not mentioned above (such as mud, earth); operation of karts used in amusement parks. The requirements related to the h
28、azards of electrical propulsion are not covered in this European Standard. Other than when the hazards of electrical propulsion dictate the operational standards herein are applicable to electrical carts. This European Standard specifies appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce the risks arising
29、from significant hazards, hazardous situations and events (see Clause 6) during operation and maintenance of the karts, when carried out as intended by the manufacturer. This document is the part 2 covering track design and operation referred to in the scope of part 1. This document serves to provid
30、e guidance for circuit operators regarding the safe operation of karting facilities. It does not remove the participants responsibility for their own safety, nor does it remove the overriding principle that motorsport, due to its very nature, can be dangerous.

45、 incidents or accidents the karting facilities operator shall ensure that a specific risk assessment or review thereof is carried out. An example of a risk assessment procedure is provided in Annex A. Kart safety is dependent on five critical factors: manufacture of kart; kart selection; operation;
46、driver briefing and information; and driver responsibility. The karting operation shall be designed and managed such as to minimize risk to the participants. Such risk cannot be completely eliminated from the kart sporting environment. BS EN 16230-2:2016EN 16230-2:2016 (E) 10 The track shall have ap
47、propriate barriers minimising the probability of and/or risk arising from a participant driving against walls, pillars or other obstacles. The operation shall comprise the following areas: pits; track; paddocks and/or garages. 5.2 Pits 5.2.1 Requirements All drivers shall access the pits from the pu
48、blic areas solely on the instruction of staff and join a kart promptly. On return to the pits, drivers shall leave the karts on staff instruction and leave the pits promptly. The karts shall enter the track from the pits and shall be able to return to the pits again after the end of the ride. The pi
49、ts shall provide sufficient free space for the number of karts in use. 5.2.2 Access pits to track The karts shall enter the track in the general direction of traffic flow. The track risk assessment shall consider the risks arising from entering the track and specify procedures to minimize those risks. 5.2.3 Access track to pits The entrance to the pits shall be located at a position where unhindered exit from the track is possible. Drivers should not exceed walking speed to ensure the safety of the marshals and other drivers in the pits. The
