23、6-2:2017 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 1176-2:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports, playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard,
24、either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN sh
25、all not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1176-2:2008. The main changes are: a) amended definition of a swing; b) additional figure for an example of a swing with one rotational axis (see Figure 1); c) new figure on ground clearance (see F
26、igure 7); d) new definition and requirements for group swing seats; e) improved recommendations for fences around swings; f) revised figure for free height of fall and surfacing requirements beneath a swing (see Figure 10); g) harmonization of B.4 and B.5 with the measuring device from the EN 1176 s
27、eries. This document is part of a series of standards dealing with playground equipment and surfacing which consists of: Part 1: General safety requirements and test methods; Part 2: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for swings; Part 3: Additional specific safety requirements
28、and test methods for slides; Part 4: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for cableways; Part 5: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for carousels; Part 6: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for rocking equipment; Part 7: Guidance on ins
29、tallation, inspection, maintenance and operation; Part 10: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for fully enclosed play equipment; Part 11: Additional specific safety requirements and test methods for spatial network. This part of EN 1176 will be used in conjunction with parts EN

BS EN 11762:2017EN 1176-2:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies additional safety requirements for swings intended for permanent installation for use by children. Where the main play funct
33、ion is not swinging, the relevant requirements in this part of EN 1176 may be used, as appropriate. NOTE Recommendations on the design and siting of swings are given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are i
34、ndispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

47、 in this part of EN 1176. 4.2 Ground clearance The minimum ground clearance for single-use swings (see Figures 5 and 6) at rest position shall be 350 mm. For group swing seats, the minimum ground clearance at rest position shall be 400 mm. For group swing seats with a flexible lower part the ground
48、clearance shall be a minimum of 400 mm measured from the underside of the rigid part of the seat in its most onerous position (see Figure 7).

49、m minimum. NOTE The minimum ground clearance is lower for contact swings with vertical tyres because their construction is flexible; if an impact occurs the tyre is deflected and the impact is reduced. Also, the tyre is made from impact attenuating material.
