Introduction
The object of this document is to achieve a minimum level of quality in the design and manufacture of
aluminium stage decks and frames in the entertainment industry.
Entertainment technology is an interdisciplinary field with specific technology and unique safety
requirements. Entertainment technology is used in places of assembly, staging and production areas for
events and theatrical productions. Such locations include but are not limited to theatres, multi-purpose
halls, exhibition halls, film-, television-, photography- and radio-studios as well as facilities in concert
halls, museums, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other places for shows and events. In
some cases, atypical non-performance places are also used.
This document has been developed based on the previous requirements of DIN 15921:2015-09.
This document has been drawn up according to past experience and risk analysis.

5 Engineering
5.1 General
Stage decks, frames and their accessories shall be engineered in accordance with this document.
5.2 Design
The design of stage decks, frames and their accessories shall be in accordance with EN 1990, the relevant
parts of the EN 1991 series, EN 1993 series, EN 1995 series and EN 1999 series and the related national
application documents as well as EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-3.
Physical testing may be used to support calculation in accordance with the relevant standards. Physical
testing shall not be used to replace structural calculation.
5.3 Analysis
5.3.1 General
Analysis shall include but not be limited to the following:
a) influence of height and type of supports (e.g. legs, scissors, etc.);
b) supporting substructure;
c) connection to supports and supporting substructure;
d) interaction between stage decks and frames with supporting substructure;
e) influence of adjacent stage decks and frames;
f) allowable deflection;
g) welding process.
5.3.2 Load assumptions
5.3.2.1 General
Analysis shall prove the following minimum load assumptions.
5.3.2.2 Uniformly distributed load
A minimum uniformly distributed vertical load of 5 kN/m shall be assumed.
5.3.2.3 Point load
A minimum single vertical point load of 1,5 kN on an area of 2 500 mm in a square or round shape shall
be assumed in all instances.
For deck surfaces exceeding the dimensions of 1 000 mm in any direction, vertical point loads of 1,5 kN
shall be assumed for every additional started meter. The centers of the point loads shall have a maximum
distance of 500 mm to each other.
The point load shall be assumed at the most unfavourable position of the load bearing infill.
NOTE This is necessary to ensure that the load bearing infill is not affected by punching shear or bending of
any supporting profile caused by the point load.
5.3.2.4 Horizontal equivalent loads
To achieve sufficient horizontal stiffness a distributed load acting in a horizontal direction, level with the
load bearing infill, of 1/20 of the uniformly distributed vertical load in all directions shall be assumed.
For stage decks and frames equipped with vertical legs, a build height of at least 1,00 m shall be assumed.
For scissor stage decks, the worst-case deck height shall be assumed.
5.4 Engineering documentation
Engineering documentation of the product designs shall be created, compiled and maintained by the
manufacturer.
Engineering documentation shall include as a minimum, engineering drawings and structural analysis.
