National foreword This standard includes safety requirements within the meaning of the Produktsicherheitsgesetz (ProdSG) (German Product Safety Act). This standard has been prepared by Technical Committ
5、ee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, Working Group WG 13 “Floating leisure articles for use on and in water” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Sport- und Freizeitgert (Sports Equ

Where this standard has been identified by the Ausschuss fr Produktsicherheit (German Committee for Product Safety) and reference to it has been published
7、 in the Gemeinsames Ministerialblatt (German Joint Ministerial Gazette) by the Bundesanstalt fr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) (German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), it is to be presumed that paddles and oars for recreational boats which comply with this standard ful
8、fil the relevant health and safety requirements. Where they comply with the provisions laid down in Section 5 of the Product Safety Act, such products may then be marked with the GS mark (German “safety tested” mark) as awarded to the manufacturer by an authorized “GS organization”. Amendments This
9、standard differs from DIN 32929:2005-04 as follows: a) the standard has been adopted as a European Standard; b) the content has been editorially revised; c) the scope of the standard has been revised; d) the tolerance for the test temperature has been modified; e) specifications for materials (forme
10、rly in Subclause 5.3) are no longer included; f) specifications for paddle and oar grips (formerly in Subclause 5.8) are no longer included.

DIN EN 16083:2012-04EN 16083:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for paddles and oars for non
22、-rigid hull water crafts. Paddles and oars are classified in two performance levels A and B. This standard is not applicable for paddles and oars for: training and competitive sports; white water; items covered by EN 71-1; folding/rigid framed boats/kayaks. This standard does not apply to wooden pad
23、dles and oars. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 paddle manually operated means of propulsion operated free-handed by a person NOTE It consists of a shaft with a (paddle) blade at the end. The double paddle has a blade at each e
24、nd of the shaft. 2.2 oar manually operated means of propulsion consisting of a shaft and a blade at the end NOTE The oar is pivot-mounted at the hull of a boat in eye lets or oarlocks. Oars can be operated by a person in pair or as single device. 3 Classes and types 3.1 Classes The following perform
25、ance classes apply: class A: higher requirements, appropriate for touring purposes; class B: lower requirements, appropriate for bathing and leisure. 3.2 Types Depiction of examples of paddles and oars: see Figures 1a) to 1e).

27、al 4.1.1 Requirement Paddles and oars shall be entirely free from sharp edges, burrs or splinters. There shall be no irregularities which could cause injury. 4.1.2 Testing Visual and tactile testing. 4.2 Temperature Testing shall be done at an air temperature of (20 3) C. 4.3 Bending strength of pad
28、dles and oars 4.3.1 Requirements When tested in accordance with 4.3.2 paddles and oars shall neither break (shaft and blade) nor permanently deform (shaft) in a way that function is impaired. Load for blades of class A paddles/oars: 0,45 N/cm2; Load for blades of class B paddles/oars: 0,30 N/cm2. Th
29、e determination of the blade surface shall be done according to Figure 2. Key B max. width of blade L length up to 0,75 B Figure 2 Loading point DIN EN 16083:2012-04EN 16083:2012 (E) 7 4.3.2 Testing The shaft of the paddle/oar shall be clamped on a rigid surface as shown in Figure 3. The blade shall
30、 be loaded quasi statically (F1) at a loading point on the centre line of the blade (150 5) mm from its end with a vertical force as given in 4.4.1.

Load speed for blades of class B paddles/oars: (0,30 N/cm)/min. 4.4 Resistance against buckling of oars and paddles 4.4.1 Requirements The blade of oars / paddles shall be resistant against buc
33、kling. When loaded with a force of 800 N class A or 400 N class B in axial direction the blade shall not break, sliver or become permanently deformed (bended or buckled) in a way that impairs function. 4.4.2 Testing The blade is loaded during (15 1) s, then release for (15 1) s. Thus, each load last
34、s 30 s, and there are 25 applications, so 13 min 30 s altogether. The paddle/oar may be cut so that the shaft shall be built-in. A compression plate shall load the end of the blade. The blade shall not slip on the compression plate. 4.5 Combined parts, couplings 4.5.1 Requirements After being tested
35、 in accordance with 4.5.2 all parts shall remain fully functional. Couplings shall be capable of manual assembly, without the need for any tool, before and after testing in accordance with 4.5.2. 4.5.2 Testing The shaft of paddle / oar shall be put on a rigid surface. The assembled coupling shall be
36、 loaded quasi statically with a force F2of: 0,45 N/cm blade surface for class A; 0,30 N/cm blade surface for class B. The determination of the blade surface shall be done according to Figure 2. Duration of load application: 2 s; Number of applications: 1 000. Inspection, practical check for function
37、ality. For the testing of coupling to bending see Figure 3. Load speed for blades of class A paddles/oars: (0,225 N/cm)/s. Load speed for blades of class B paddles/oars: (0,15 N/cm)/s.
