Overview

EN 13200-7:2014 is a CEN European Standard that sets out safety and design characteristics for entry and exit elements and routes in spectator facilities (stadiums, arenas, theatres, sports halls and similar public buildings). Approved in 2013 and published in 2014, the standard defines terminology and criteria for planning spectator ingress, circulation and egress under normal and emergency conditions, with attention to accessibility for people with special needs.

Key topics

The standard covers practical technical topics including:

• Terms & definitions: entry/exit capacity, entry elements, access control element, concourse, vomitories, etc.
• Entry design: factors affecting entry capacity, principles for spectator ingress, counting and access control (turnstiles, gates, scanning devices).
• Circulation and routes: zoning of circulation routes, concourses, passageways, ramps, stairways, headroom, widths, signage and lighting.
• Vertical transport: escalators and lifts (with reference to accessibility requirements).
• Exit and emergency egress: exit capacity, rates of passage, egress time, design of emergency evacuation routes and emergency escape lighting.
• People with special needs: horizontal and vertical escape provisions and inclusive design considerations.
• Product guidance (Annex A): product characteristics for access control elements such as full-height turnstiles and technical specs for scanning equipment/control systems.

Practical applications

EN 13200-7:2014 is used to design and manage safe, efficient spectator movement and to support compliance with European best practice. Typical uses:

• Architects and stadium designers: dimensioning entrances, concourses, ramps and stairs to avoid bottlenecks.
• Safety and evacuation planners: calculating exit capacity, estimating egress times and designing emergency evacuation routes.
• Facility managers and event organizers: planning ticketing, access control, queuing systems and crowd-flow operations.
• Manufacturers and suppliers: specifying turnstiles, gates, scanning equipment and electronic access-control systems in line with Annex A.
• Accessibility consultants: ensuring inclusive access, evacuation strategies and compliance with related lift/escalator standards.

Benefits include improved spectator safety, predictable ingress/egress performance, reduced queuing, and better emergency preparedness.

Related standards

EN 13200-7 is part of the EN 13200 spectator facilities series (e.g., EN 13200-1). Normative references and related documents include:

• EN 13200-1:2012 (general characteristics)
• EN 115 (escalators & moving walks)
• EN 81-70 (lift accessibility)
