This European Standard is not applicable to artificial climbing structures, which are used for
27、 training for sports activities, e.g. alpinism. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition

Note 3 to entry: Because of the way in which climbing equ
30、ipment is used (see EN 11761:2008, 3.2) if the user were to fall, this would be a vertical downward fall into the structure. Therefore, structural elements outside the net are not considered to be in the falling space. Figure 1 Examples of spatial network 3.2 3-dimensional arranged planar nets 3-dim

32、network The meshes of a spatial network shall not be so large as to allow an imaginary cylindrical body in a vertical position, with a diameter of 650 mm and a height of 1 800 mm, to be introduced into the cellular structure and to pass through, see Figures 2 and 3. If the cylindrical body passes th
33、rough, the falling height and the shock absorbing surface shall conform to EN 1176-1. NOTE The dimensions of the imaginary cylinder are derived from anthropometric data and have been selected to ensure that a secure hold can be achieved by the user from any point within the net structure.

35、nets (see Figure 1 c) with a vertical separation greater than 1 000 mm, the diameter of the largest circle that can be inscribed in all net openings shall be not greater than 420 mm when unloaded, see Figure 4. Where the arrangement of planar nets has a lower net with mesh size greater than 420 mm c
36、ircular inner diameter, the impact attenuating surface below the lower of the nets shall have a critical fall height appropriate for the highest planar net with a mesh size greater than 420 mm circular inner diameter. NOTE The mesh size of planar nets has been reduced to 420 mm to compensate for the
37、 reduction in grip opportunities within a 2-dimensional net structure.

40、ds) do not fall to the outside, due to their orientation while climbing, but fall vertically downwards into the structure. When non-flexible elements (e.g. support poles) are arranged in a slanted position and have a smooth surface, they have a deflecting character and the impact energy is reduced.
41、The maximum internal height of fall can then be increased in accordance with Table 1.

NOTE This table shows
42、mathematical ratios that relate only to the structure. Appropriate IAS (Impact Absorbing Surface) materials are required on any surrounding impact area. Rope structures which are designed to yield in use are not regarded as hard objects in the falling space. 4.4 Converging parts Converging parts wit

Above 600 mm from the ground the angle formed between converging parts with a lower edge above the horizontal shall be more than 55. The angle
44、formed by two converging parts shall be measured by a measuring device, such as a protractor. If the measurement device cannot be freely inserted in the opening use the test template according to Figure D.2 of EN 1176-1:2008 applying a force of (222 5) N and re-measure the angle using the measuring

To allow for the flexibility of the ropes an angle of 55 is acceptable. 5 Test reports Test
46、 reports shall be in accordance with EN 1176-1:2008, Clause 5, in addition to the following: a) test report regarding compliance with EN 1176-11; b) certification of conformity with the relevant requirements of EN 1176-1 and EN 1176-11; c) the number and date of this European Standard, i.e. EN 1176-11:2014. 6 Marking Spatial networks shall be marked in accordance with EN 1176-1:2008, Clause 7.
