National foreword (German Equipment and Product Safety Act). This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and o
4、ther recreational facilities and equipment” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sport- und Freizeitgert (Sports Equipment Standards Committee), Technical Committee NA 112-01-02 AA Turngerte, Matten und Spielfeldgerte. Once this
5、 standard has been identified by the Committee for Technical Work Equipment and Consumer Products and published in the Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette), compliance of badminton equipment as in this standard with the relevant health and safety requirements (i.e. as in the GPSG) may be presumed
6、. The German GS mark (GS stands for Geprfte Sicherheit, meaning safety tested) may then be applied to the badminton equipment under the provisions of 7 of the GPSG. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 1509:2004-12 as follows: a) The general safety requirements and test methods have been har
7、monized with those specified in EN 913, with two exceptions. b) The scope has been extended to include indoor standing as well as indoor wheel chair badminton equipment. c) Inclusion of four different classes for the distinction of badminton equipment for competition or training including wheelchair
8、 equipment. d) The requirements for posts and nets have been specified in more detail. e) Requirements for the construction of top net lines have been included (see Figure 1). f) A new Clause 6 “Test report” has been added. g) Clause 7 “Instructions for use” and Clause 8 “Marking” have been extended
