24、creational facilities Ropes courses: Part 1: Construction and safety requirements; Part 2: Operational requirements. The main changes to EN 15567-2:2007 are: a) terms and definitions revised (Clause 3); b) introduction of a categorization of individual safety systems and their respective requirement

DIN EN 15567-2:2015-08 EN 15567-2:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Ropes courses vary considerably and may be used for educational, recreational, training or therapeutic purposes. Ropes course activities should only be
28、undertaken by those who are physically and mentally able to comply with the safety requirements specified by the operator. Ropes course activities involve risks that should be managed by the manufacturers and operators. This is achieved through careful design, manufacture, supervision, training, ins
29、truction, information etc. Safety systems can be collective or individual. Individual safety systems are classified in categories A to E. However these categories do not in themselves determine the safety of the ropes course. The various safety devices consist of equipment designed to limit the cons
30、equences of falls or collisions. There are inherent risks associated with ropes courses. These risks should however be appropriately managed and minimized by the ropes course operator and their staff; it should be understood that the risks cannot be eliminated altogether. On the basis of a risk asse
31、ssment, operators should take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety of participants. This means that the degree of risk in a particular job/work place/facility need to be balanced against the time, trouble, cost, benefits and physical difficulty of taking measures to avoid or reduce t
32、he risk. It is recognized that application of every provision of this standard may not be appropriate in all circumstances. Any deviation from the standard should provide an equal or greater level of safety. When deviating from the standard a written risk assessment, setting out the rationale for th
33、e deviation should be provided. Ropes course operators should also consider EN 15567-1, when carrying out risk assessments. DIN EN 15567-2:2015-08 EN 15567-2:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to the operation of ropes courses as defined in EN 15567-1. This European Standard specifies
