EN 13200-4:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the mechanical, physical and chemical product characteristics of fixed seating used in spo
18、rts venues (indoor and outdoor) in the spectator viewing area (S.V.A.). It also specifies the criteria for fixing the seating to the structure. These characteristics and criteria are determined in order to assure an adequate resistance to static and dynamic stresses and to atmospheric agents. This E
19、uropean Standard specifies comfort, functionality and safety requirements to prevent serious injury through normal functional use, as well as misuse that might reasonably be excepted to occur. This European Standard does not include any fire behaviour or resistance requirements. 2 Normative referenc

All parts of the seating place with which the user comes into contact, during the intended use, shall be so designed that physical injury and damage to spectator prop
31、erty are avoided. The following consideration are necessary: the safety distance of accessible movable parts is addressed to EN 294 in any position during movement; all accessible parts are without sharp edges/corners; the edges of the seat, backrest and armrests which are in contact with the user w
32、hen sitting, are rounded with recommended minimum 3 mm radius; the ends of hollow components are closed or capped. EN 13200-4:2006 (E) 6 b) all parts which are lubricated to assist sliding (greasing, lubricating etc.) shall be designed to protect users from lubricant stains when in normal use; c) se
33、ats shall be securely fixed to the steps or to the supports; d) the shape of the seats shall be such as to allow rain and water to drain and shall allow easy cleaning of it and of the underlying steps; e) if the components are made of different materials, they shall be compatible with each other; f)
34、 the seating place shall comply the minimum dimensions given in EN 13200-1; g) the recommended values are given in Table 1.

48、rom the unexposed specimen of 30 %. When tested according to EN ISO 179-1:2000, test method 1 e A, the exposed specimen shall have a maximum Charpy impact strength variation from the unexposed specimen of 30 %. 7.4 Temperature resistance See Annex A. 8 Strength and durability requirements Seats shal
