European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16396:2020) 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.

Introduction
Interpretations and no-action decisions
This document contains all interpretation of TR 16396 to the end of 2017. It should bring a close to all
interpretations made to the 2008 version of EN 1176 and all of its specific parts that were also revised
in 2017. It contains replies to requests for interpretations concerning the understanding of clauses in
the 2008 edition of EN 1176 series. The replies concern those requests that have resulted in an
interpretation or a decision that no action is required as the standard is sufficiently clear.
An interpretation does not have the same status as the text of the standard. However, following an
interpretation gives assurance that the relevant clause of the standard has been correctly applied. An
interpretation is a clarification of the meaning of the standard. This TR covers requests from 2011 to
the end of 2017.
Disclaimer
The interpretations have been prepared by the interpretation panel of CEN/TC 136/SC1 committee
according to agreed process and finally confirmed by the whole SC1 committee prior to responding
back to the enquiring National Standard Body. The information contained herein should always be
considered in association with the original2008 edition of EN 1176 series published text.
Requests for interpretations may be submitted by a CEN member body through its national committee
or by a CEN/TC 136 liaison (but not directly by an individual or a company) – in accordance with the
interpretation protocols agreed by CEN/TC 136/SC 1. The requests are then channelled to the
CEN/TC 136/SC 1interpretation panel, which will then deal with the request.
A request for an interpretation may lead to:
