BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 4 Introduction This document specifies general and safety requirements and test methods that are applicable to domestic mini-pools. The users o
20、f this standard could be either in a business to consumer (B to C) relationship, such as manufacturers, retailers, etc. or in a business to business (B to B) relationship, such as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, local authorities, etc. Safe products are the basis of the consumers safety and
21、therefore, this European standard takes into account the following topics: product safety requirements; safe construction and installation; safe use, including information and safety warnings for consumers (e.g. “Dont leave your child unattended in the mini-pool”). It should be highlighted that the
22、risk of drowning, particularly for children under 5 years of age, continues to exist during recreational activities in mini-pools, despite their smaller size and volume of water compared to swimming pools. Attention should also be paid to environmental aspects, according to CEN Guide 4 (e.g. minimiz
23、ing water being misused when the water is regularly replaced in mini-pools, etc.). BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general safety and quality requirements and test methods for domestic mini-pools. These requirements and test methods are applicable to
24、mini-pool structures, including their installation and possible means of access. This European Standard does not apply to: pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1; swimming pools for domestic use covered by EN 16582 series; spas for domestic or public use; paddling pools according to EN 71-8 2 No

30、sed in workplaces and public areas 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 6 3.1 mini-pool non permanently installed artificial aboveground basin: with a maximum wall height 50mm, apply a force of 900 N v
31、ertically in the axis of the wall, at the position most likely to fail, for 5 min. The test shall be performed on a 300 mm diameter disc. If the thickness of the top wall is 50 mm, apply a force of 300 N vertically in the axis of the wall, at the position most likely to fail, for 5 min. The test sha
32、ll be performed on a 300 mm diameter disc. 4.2.3 Bursting strength 4.2.3.1 General The bursting strength test defined in 4.2.3.3 is performed after carrying out the resistance tests for horizontal deformation (4.2.1.2) and vertical deformation (4.2.2.2). 4.2.3.2 Requirements On completion of the tes
33、t defined in 4.2.3.3, the pool shall not burst and shall not suffer any permanent deformation affecting the products resistance. 4.2.3.3 Test methods Fill the mini-pool with water to the maximum filling level recommended by the manufacturer. BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 12 Bring a plastic cylin
34、drical barrel with a diameter between 400 mm and 500 mm, a capacity of 120 l and a total weight of 120 kg including ballast, in a vertical position, above the pool. The drop height, compared to the water level recommended by the manufacturer, is +400600 mm. Position the central axis of the barrel ve
35、rtically aligned with the inner edge (on the water side) of the mini-pool. Apply pressure on the upper edge of the barrel so as to tip the barrel into the pool under its own inertia, at the most unfavourable point. Tip it into the water (see Figure 6) Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 barrel support 2

37、 and in 4.3.1.3, the mini-pool shall not collapse and lose its water retention capability. 4.3.1.2 Mini-pool overflow Install the mini-pool, according to the manufacturers instructions, on a flat horizontal ground (maximum slope allowed is 5 mm/m); BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 13 Fill the mini-
38、pool until it overflows with a flow rate of 2,5 m3/h minimum and allow it to overflow for 1 min. 4.3.1.3 Behaviour test of the wall under load Fill the mini-pool with water to the maximum filling level recommended by the manufacturer. Place on the tube, at the most unfavourable place, a 0,50 m long
39、rigid half pipe (made of light material e.g. PVC) with a minimum inside diameter of 0,25 m (adapted to the tube size) ballasted with a strap carrying one 40 kg weight on each end (one on the inside of the pool and the other on the outside) (see Figure 7). Maintain the load for 3 s at the tubes maxim
40、um deflection, the weights being liable to touch the ground. Lift the load up immediately after 3 s making sure that the loading device does not interfere during this operation. NOTE In the case of mini-pools fitted with a strut, this test is performed at the most unfavourable point. The weights sho
41、uld touch the ground as late as possible (e.g. by reducing the length of the straps) Key 1 half pipe 2 weights 3 ground clearence 4 strap Figure 7 Behaviour test of the wall under load 4.3.2 Inflatable compartments All of the air inlets provided for inflation shall be fitted with caps permanently se
42、cured on an accessible part of each inflatable compartment of the mini-pool. Once this part is inflated, the caps located inside the mini-pool shall be able to be pushed back inside the upper part so that they do not protrude from the surface by more than 5 mm. The caps of the inflation ports should
43、 not be able to become detached and should be protected against accidental removal. The valves shall be fitted in order to prevent an instantaneous deflation. 4.3.3 Stability in the event of deflation of the upper tube of mini-pool with self-stabilizing walls 4.3.3.1 Requirement On completion of the
44、 test described in 4.3.3.2, the mini-pool with self-stabilizing walls shall not collapse. BS EN 16927:2017EN 16927:2017 (E) 14 4.3.3.2 Test method Install the mini-pool, according to the manufacturers instructions, on flat horizontal ground (maximum slope allowed is 5 mm/m). Fill the pool with water
45、 up to the level normally recommended in the installation manual. Open the inflatable part by its normal air release device until it is apparently fully deflated. 4.3.4 Bursting strength 4.3.4.1 Requirement On completion of the test defined in 4.3.4.2, the mini-pool with self-stabilizing walls shall
46、 not burst and shall not present any permanent deformation affecting the products resistance. 4.3.4.2 Test method Fill the mini-pool with water to the maximum filling level recommended by the manufacturer. Bring a plastic cylindrical barrel with a diameter between 400 mm and 500 mm, a capacity of 12
47、0 l and a total weight of 120 kg including ballast, in vertical position, above the pool. The drop height, compared to the water level recommended by the manufacturer, is +400600 mm. Position the central axis of the barrel vertically aligned with the inner edge (on the water side) of the mini-pool.
48、Apply pressure on the upper edge of the barrel so as to tip the barrel into the pool under its own inertia, at the most unfavourable point. Tip it into the water. 4.4 Tolerances The indicated dimensions and measurements are given with a tolerance of 3 % (unless otherwise indicated). Mini-pools with
49、self-stabilizing or inflatable walls commonly have larger acceptable tolerances. 4.5 Minimum performance requirements for structural materials 4.5.1 General The structural design and materials shall be in accordance with accepted structural engineering practices. Selection of materials for the construction of the mini-pool shall be conducted under consideration of external influences, including but not limited to, temperature, UV, chemicals, etc., when appropriate, that may influence the structural integrity o
