27、 Materials 3.3.1 Posts, singles sticks and bottom structure of Type 3 and ground fixings These may be made of steel, light metal, synthetics or wood, provided the requirements of this document are ful- filled. Light metal shall be non-corrosive and steel protected against corrosion (e. g. hot-galvan
28、ized, powder coated or painted). 3.3.2 Net The net shall be made from synthetic fibres. 3.3.3 Top net line The top net line shall be made from galvanized or corrosion-resistant steel wires or equivalent material. NOTE Plastics covering is acceptable. 3.3.4 Top tape and net centre strap These can be
29、made from synthetic or natural fibres 3.4 Design 3.4.1 Net posts The net posts shall be not more than 150 mm square or not more than 150 mm in diameter. The construction of the net posts shall be such that the top net line can be supported or guided at a height of 1 070 mm. One net post shall be pro
30、vided with a tensioning device for the top net line, the other net post shall be provided with a guiding and fixing system for the top net line. When tested in accordance with 5.2, after removal of the test force the net posts shall not be deformed permanent- ly or show a deflection of more than 10
31、mm. 3.4.2 Net The top tape shall be white. It shall have a folded depth of between 50 mm and 65 mm. The top tape shall be sewn into the net by one of the following methods: a) at least twice with synthetic thread of 50 N breaking force; or b) once with synthetic thread of 100 N breaking force; or it
32、 shall be provided with a fastening device which is of at least equivalent strength. The top net line shall have a diameter of not more than 8 mm. The top net line shall be inserted into the top tape. The ends of the top net line shall be designed in such a way that they do not fray and so that they
33、 fit the appropriate tensioning and fixing devices. The net shall be designed to completely fill the space between the posts, the top tape and the court surface. The net shall not be tensioned. The mesh width shall be sufficiently small to prevent the ball from passing through. Regarding the breakin
34、g forces of the net and its components the classes of Table 2 shall be selected as appropri- ate. EN 1510:2004 (E) 7 3.4.3 Centre net adjuster The centre net adjuster shall consist of the following components: a) 1 net centre strap; b) 1 adjuster; c) 1 floor anchorage (for Types 1 and 2, for Type 3
35、appropriate to the bottom structure). The net centre strap shall be white. The adjuster shall be capable of adjusting the height of the net from 1 070 mm to 910 mm. NOTE The final height of the net centre is given by the international and/or national tennis federation. 3.4.4 Singles sticks Where a d
36、oubles net is used for singles play the net can be supported by two freestanding posts called singles sticks. The single sticks shall maintain the top net line at the required height while supporting the doubles net when placed according to the rules of the game (see Figure 1). A singles stick shall
37、 be not more than 75 mm square or in diameter. The height shall be not more than that of the posts. 3.4.5 Ground sockets All ground sockets shall be resistant to corrosion. 4 Safety requirements 4.1 General Exposed corners and edges shall be rounded with a radius of at least 3 mm. The floor anchorag
38、e shall not protrude to the court surface. 4.2 Tensioning devices The tensioning devices shall be constructed in such a way that, when tested in accordance with 5.2, they cannot start without control. If handles are provided, e. g. for a winch, they shall be removable, retractable or remain inside t
39、he post. 4.3 Net hooks The open end of net hooks (if any) shall not be directed towards the court.

40、he following, shall be appropriately verified, e. g. by measurement, visual inspection, tactile or functional testing. 5.2 Posts and tensioning devices EN 1510:2004 (E) 8 Set up the posts in position of use. Place a steel wire (5 mm diameter) with a force transducer placed within into the position o
41、f use of the top net line. Increase the tension of the tensioning device up to a force of 2 290 N. Apply the force for 10 min at a temperature of (20 5) C. 5.3 Net The components of the net shall be tested in accordance with Table 3. Table 3 Testing of net Component Test method Mesh EN ISO 1806 Top
42、net line ISO 3108 Top tape EN ISO 13934-1 6 Instructions for use The tennis equipment shall be accompanied by instructions for use including at least the following information: a) installation details; b) assembly details covering method of adjustment and tensioning device; c) correct fastening of t
43、he net; d) maintenance details. 7 Marking Tennis equipment according to this document shall be marked with the following information: a) the number of this document EN 1510 1) ; b) the name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer, retailer or importer and the year of manufact
44、ure; c) Type (net post); d) class of yarn. NOTE It should be noted that the rules of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) do not allow any advertisement on the net, the centre strap or singles sticks. 1) Marking EN 1510 on or in relation to a product represents the manufacturers declaration of
45、conformity, i. e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration should not be confused with third party certifica- tion of confor
46、mity, which may also be desirable.
