23、DIN EN 16927:2017-05 4 Introduction This document specifies general and safety requirements and test methods that are applicable to domestic mini-pools. The users of this standard could be either in a business to consumer (B to C) relationship, such as manufacturers, retailers, etc. or in a business
24、 to business (B to B) relationship, such as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, local authorities, etc. Safe products are the basis of the consumers safety and therefore, this European standard takes into account the following topics: product safety requirements; safe construction and installati
25、on; safe use, including information and safety warnings for consumers (e.g. “Dont leave your child unattended in the mini-pool”). It should be highlighted that the risk of drowning, particularly for children under 5 years of age, continues to exist during recreational activities in mini-pools, despi
26、te their smaller size and volume of water compared to swimming pools. Attention should also be paid to environmental aspects, according to CEN Guide 4 (e.g. minimizing water being misused when the water is regularly replaced in mini-pools, etc.). EN 16927:2017 (E) DIN EN 16927:2017-05 5 1 Scope This
27、 European Standard specifies the general safety and quality requirements and test methods for domestic mini-pools. These requirements and test methods are applicable to mini-pool structures, including their installation and possible means of access. This European Standard does not apply to: pools fo
28、r public use covered by EN 15288-1; swimming pools for domestic use covered by EN 16582 series; spas for domestic or public use; paddling pools according to EN 71-8 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable

EN 16927:2017 (E) DIN EN 16927:2017-05 6 3.1 mini-pool non permanently installed artificial aboveground basin: with a maximum wall height 50mm, apply a force of 900 N vertically in the axis of the wall, at the position most likely to fail, for 5 min. The test shall be performed on a 300 mm dia
35、meter disc. If the thickness of the top wall is 50 mm, apply a force of 300 N vertically in the axis of the wall, at the position most likely to fail, for 5 min. The test shall be performed on a 300 mm diameter disc. 4.2.3 Bursting strength 4.2.3.1 General The bursting strength test defined in 4.2.3
36、.3 is performed after carrying out the resistance tests for horizontal deformation (4.2.1.2) and vertical deformation (4.2.2.2). 4.2.3.2 Requirements On completion of the test defined in 4.2.3.3, the pool shall not burst and shall not suffer any permanent deformation affecting the products resistanc
37、e. 4.2.3.3 Test methods Fill the mini-pool with water to the maximum filling level recommended by the manufacturer. EN 16927:2017 (E) DIN EN 16927:2017-05 12 Bring a plastic cylindrical barrel with a diameter between 400 mm and 500 mm, a capacity of 120 l and a total weight of 120 kg including balla
38、st, in a vertical position, above the pool. The drop height, compared to the water level recommended by the manufacturer, is +400600 mm. Position the central axis of the barrel vertically aligned with the inner edge (on the water side) of the mini-pool. Apply pressure on the upper edge of the barrel
39、 so as to tip the barrel into the pool under its own inertia, at the most unfavourable point.

41、tall the mini-pool, according to the manufacturers instructions, on a flat horizontal ground (maximum slope allowed is 5 mm/m); EN 16927:2017 (E) DIN EN 16927:2017-05 13 Fill the mini-pool until it overflows with a flow rate of 2,5 m3/h minimum and allow it to overflow for 1 min. 4.3.1.3 Behaviour t
42、est of the wall under load Fill the mini-pool with water to the maximum filling level recommended by the manufacturer. Place on the tube, at the most unfavourable place, a 0,50 m long rigid half pipe (made of light material e.g. PVC) with a minimum inside diameter of 0,25 m (adapted to the tube size
43、) ballasted with a strap carrying one 40 kg weight on each end (one on the inside of the pool and the other on the outside) (see Figure 7). Maintain the load for 3 s at the tubes maximum deflection, the weights being liable to touch the ground. Lift the load up immediately after 3 s making sure that
44、 the loading device does not interfere during this operation. NOTE In the case of mini-pools fitted with a strut, this test is performed at the most unfavourable point. The weights should touch the ground as late as possible (e.g. by reducing the length of the straps) Key 1 half pipe 2 weights 3 gro

Once this part is inflated, the caps lo
46、cated inside the mini-pool shall be able to be pushed back inside the upper partN4)so that they do not protrude from the surface by more than 5 mm. The caps of the inflation ports should not be able to become detached and should be protected against accidental removal. The valves shall be fitted in
47、order to prevent an instantaneous deflation. 4.3.3 Stability in the event of deflation of the upper tube of mini-pool with self-stabilizing walls 4.3.3.1 Requirement On completion of the test described in 4.3.3.2, the mini-pool with self-stabilizing walls shall not collapse.N4)National footnote: Thi
48、s statement is imprecise. “Upper part” means the air compartment in which the valve or the air inlet is situated.
