40、whole body, tunnels shall conform to the requirements for tunnels given in EN 1176-1:2008, 4.2.7.4. 4.2.2.3 Evacuation routes Evacuation routes shall conform to Table 1. An evacuation route shall have a height of at least 1 300 mm and a width of at least 900 mm, except that for capacities of less th
41、an 20 children, the width may be reduced to a minimum of 720 mm. Play equipment can be placed inside the evacuation route only if it meets the following requirements. Play equipment that is placed along the vertical or horizontal surfaces of the evacuation route shall not impede exit and shall not p

DIN EN 1176-10:2008-10 EN 1176-10:2008 (E) 7 Moving play equipment hanging in the evacuation route, for example punching bags, shall allow easy passage through when using a manual pushing action. Play equipment in the evacuation route shall not reduce the route to a widt
43、h of less than 900 mm or a height of less than 1 300 mm. Items of play equipment placed inside the evacuation route shall have a depth of no more than 200 mm and there shall be a distance of at least 1 000 mm between any pieces of such play equipment which re-duce the dimensions of the evacuation ro

45、r than 18 m. 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).
